The company is yet to officially reveal the devices that will be announced at this conference. However, rumors say that the firm will debut the HONOR Magic4 series. Ahead of that, alleged spec sheets of this upcoming lineup of premium smartphones have emerged.

Tipster @RODENT950 has shared three images on Twitter containing the primary specifications of the forthcoming HONOR Magic4, HONOR Magic4 Pro, and HONOR Magic4 Pro+. Though the specs listed in the pictures appear to be true, he asks the public to consider them with a pinch of salt.

According to the images, all three phones will have a metal frame design. However, the Pro+ will feature a ceramic back instead of glass as well as leather finishes on vanilla and Pro.

The trio will arrive with LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage, and NFC 2.0 as standard. The vanilla variant will have a single x-axis linear vibration motor, whereas the other two versions will have two of these motors. Similarly, the Pro and vanilla have regular dual stereo speakers, while the Pro+ will flaunt symmetrical dual stereo speakers

Though all of them will have an in-screen fingerprint sensor, the Pro+ will use an ultrasonic solution rather than optical like the cheaper models.

Talking about chipsets, the HONOR Magic4 will come equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC and a hexagonal graphene sheet to control thermals. On the other hand, the HONOR Magic4 Pro and the HONOR Magic4 Pro+ will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip paired with a hexagonal graphene sheet as well as an ultra-thin VC liquid cooling system.

All of them will flaunt OLED displays from BOE with a diamond-like pixel arrangement but they will differ in size and features. Anyway, they do have certain aspects in common like 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, 1.07 billion colors, HDR10+ certification, and DCI-P3 color gamut support.

The vanilla model will sport a 6.55-inch panel with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, a 300Hz touch sampling rate, micro curves on two sides, and a single centered punch hole. Whereas, the screens on Pro and Pro+ versions will have a 360Hz touch sampling rate, micro curves on four sides, and dual centered punch holes. The display on the Pro will measure 6.67 inches with a resolution of 2772 x 1344 pixels as opposed to a 6.78-inch panel with a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels on the Pro+.

Talking about cameras, the trio will arrive with a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide unit with support for macro. The vanilla variant will have a 16MP telephoto snapper with up to 10x digital zoom support and a 16MP selfie shooter.

In contrast, the Pro models sport an OIS-equipped 50MP telescope camera with 100x digital zoom support, a 50MP monochrome camera, 8×8 dToF laser focusing system, and a dual 13MP + 3D depth-sensing selfie camera.

As far as protection is concerned, the Pro+ will be IP68-certified for dust and water resistance as opposed to an IP53 rating on the Pro. The vanilla variant will lack any sort of IP rating.
