Zhao Ming, the CEO of HONOR Device Co., Ltd., has recently announced that the forthcoming Honor MagicPad will feature the same AI defocus vision relief technology as the anticipated Honor Magic V3. This new tablet is expected to follow in the footsteps of the Honor MagicPad 13, which was introduced in July of last year.
AI Defocus Vision Relief + 4320Hz PWM for Eye Safety
The upcoming Honor MagicPad is also set to include 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. This technology was initially introduced with the Honor Magic 6 series. According to the IEEE Std1789-2015 international standard, display flicker becomes nearly eye-safe when the PWM frequency surpasses 3125Hz. Thus, both the Honor Magic 6 and the forthcoming MagicPad can be considered safe for the eyes in this respect.
Besides mitigating eye strain, the new MagicPad is said to offer enhanced DC dimming. This combines the benefits of color accuracy and eye protection, even at lower brightness settings.
Patent for AI-Defocused Vision Relief Technology
A tipster has revealed that Honor has applied for a patent for AI-defocused vision relief technology, which makes the screen appear like a defocused lens. This is expected to aid users in achieving vision relief. The combination of 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and AI-defocused vision relief technology underscores the company's commitment to eye safety.
As mentioned earlier, the new MagicPad is slated for release in July, along with the Honor Magic V3. The latter is expected to be even thinner than its predecessor, the 9.9 mm Honor Magic V2, which was also launched in July of the previous year.
What to Expect from the New Tablet
To provide some context, last year's MagicPad 13 features a 13" IMAX Enhanced TFT LCD display with a resolution of 1840 x 2880 pixels (~263 ppi density). The display supports HDR10 and has a peak brightness of 700 nits. It weighs between 660g and 673g and is powered by the Snapdragon 888 5G chipset and a 10,050 mAh battery.
