The HONOR Magic4 series was unveiled this Monday. The latest flagship smartphone lineup from the former sub-brand of Huawei includes two models, namely HONOR Magic4 and HONOR Magic4 Pro. Like most premium phones in the market, they also flaunt high refresh rate OLED displays with LTPO tech. However, unlike the rest, their panel suppliers are different.
According to Ross Young, CEO of DSCC (Display Supply Chain Consultants), the LTPO displays on the HONOR Magic4 series are supplied by BOE and Visionox. For the unaware, all the other smartphones in the market with an LTPO screen get their panels from Samsung Display.
This means the HONOR Magic4 and the HONOR Magic4 Pro are the world’s first smartphones featuring LTPO displays from suppliers other than Samsung Display. Additionally, these panels are HDR10+ as well as IMAX Enhanced-certified (China only) and support 1920Hz PWM dimming.
As far as specs are concerned, the 10-bit 120Hz curved screens on the duo measure the same 6.81-inch and can go as low as 10Hz. However, their resolutions, aspect ratio, and screen-to-body ratio are different.
The panel on the vanilla model has a resolution of 1224 x 2664 pixels, a 19.59:9 aspect ratio, and a 94.2% screen-to-body ratio. On the other hand, these numbers are 1312 × 2848 pixels, 19.54:9, and 93.5% on the pro variant.
The changes in the specifications are likely due to the different cutouts for the front-facing cameras. The Magic4 has a centered punch-hole for its single camera, while the Magic4 Pro sports a pill-shaped hole on the top left side for its dual cameras.
