Honor’s new premium tablet, the MagicPad 13, shares its design with the Honor 90 series. It has a similar camera module and thin bezels on the front. The device features a 13-inch 2.8K ultra-clear IMAX Enhanced display with a color accuracy of ∆E<1, which is the first time for an LCD panel. The panel also offers a resolution of 2880×1840, a 144Hz adaptive refresh rate, a peak brightness of 700nit, and a screen-to-body ratio of up to 90%. With HDR 10 support, you’re sure to get a great multimedia experience. The Honor tablet measures 6.4mm thick and weighs 660g.

The Snapdragon 888 chip inside the MagicPad 13 might bring back some memories for early 2019.

According to teasers on Weibo, the Magic V2 will be accompanied by at least three more devices. The major one will be the Honor MagicPad 13 tablet, which features a 13 inches display with thin bezels. It will also come with niceties like a cover keyboard and a stylus. Other details of the slate are yet to be known.

The Honor Watch 4 has also been teased. The wearable is pictured with a squircle dial that resembles the Apple Watch series. What’s interesting about this watch is that it comes with eSIM support, which is a first for an Honor smartwatch. An eSIM will open up a wide range of connectivity options for users, allowing them to make calls and perform various tasks directly from the watch itself. It features a single button on the right side and is claimed to have better battery life.

As mentioned, Honor will also launch the Smart TV 5 on July 12. While not much has been revealed in the teasers, the TV appears to have a large size and features a sleek design. We don’t see any bezels on the television. The company did use some fancy terms for the TV, stating that it offers “flagship picture quality” and “next-level high definition for exploring new horizons.”
