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.

HONOR has scheduled a product launch at MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2022. It will take place on February 28. 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.

They will boot Magic UI 6.0 based on Android 12 and get their energy from a 4,800mAh battery. The vanilla and Pro will be limited to 66W wired fast charging, while the Pro+ will max at 100W. Additionally, the two Pro models will also have support for 50W fast wireless charging.

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.
