– Excellent display with OLED technology and outstanding brightness/contrast, outperforming rivals (IMAX Enhanced certified).
– Very strong overall package for mid-range, including premium sound via DTS:X optimization.
– High value proposition with features like pen and keyboard cover, though not officially sold in the US.
The MagicPad 4 impresses in our review with an excellent overall package for the mid-range. The RRP of the MagicPad 4 starts at around $750 as a complete package with pen and keyboard cover. However, it is not officially sold in the US.
Display and Visual Quality
In addition to the great sound quality, the Honor tablet stands out from the competition in another area – namely the display. While the predecessor featured a rather weak IPS-Panel in our review, the MagicPad 4 delivers one of the best displays on the tablet market. The brightness test showed 2,337 cd/m², and the manufacturer states HDR peak brightness of 2,400 nits, which we surpassed with our own measurement. An HDR video pushed beyond 3,000 cd/m², and compared to an Apple iPad Air 13 (2025) which reaches only 652 cd/m², this Honor tablet appears four times brighter in this metric.
Contrast and OLED Advantage
In addition to the better color reproduction, the contrasts of the MagicPad4 are also a class above those of the Apple tablet thanks to the OLED technology. Honor has leaned into IMAX Enhanced certification for the successor to the MagicPad 3 — a logical choice given the extra‑bright OLED display. The certification is intended to ensure top‑tier picture quality, accurate color reproduction, and strong HDR performance. Streaming services such as Disney+ already offer IMAX Enhanced versions of many blockbuster titles.
Audio and Immersive Experience
Thanks to DTS:X optimization, the MagicPad 4’s very capable speaker system delivers a more spacious soundstage, ensuring that audio enthusiasts won’t feel short‑changed during movie playback. The combination of bright visuals and robust audio makes the device appealing for multimedia consumption. Test MagicPad 4
