Reviewing the Honor MagicPad 4 (12.3), a 2026 tablet boasting an upgraded OLED screen, overhauled design and even more power vs the 3! However, it's not all good news, as the Honor MagicPad 4 makes one sacrifice to achieve greatness. Here's my thoughts on the gaming performance, battery life etc after two weeks of testing.
One of the big drawbacks of the previous tablet was that LCD screen, which was good but no OLED. That's been rectified for the Honor MagicPad 4 12.3, which the manufacturer boasts is an 'IMAX experience'. You certainly do get some crispy visuals with strong contrast and HDR10 support. Plus, some meaty speakers with excellent codec support for streaming.
The Honor MagicPad 4 is a capable gamer these days, offering Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 smarts. This can handle the likes of Wuthering Waves no worries, with a smooth frame rate even at 60FPS. You can also happily multi-task in MagicOS 10, with a PC mode if you want to run up to 20 apps side-by-side!
So that's my thoughts on the Honor MagicPad 4. Check out my other tablet reviews for alternative options.
