On the evening of February 28, Beijing time, Honor released a new generation of flagship Honor Magic4 series mobile phones at the MWC Mobile World Congress. The Honor Magic4 series has a total of two versions, namely Honor Magic4 and Honor Magic4 Pro. Today we start the model is the Honor Magic4, and the follow-up Honor Magic4 Pro we will also follow up at the first time.
Compared with the previous generation of Honor Magic3, in addition to the conventional upgrade of the Snapdragon 888 to the Snapdragon 8, the rear 13 million pixel ultra-wide angle lens in terms of image was upgraded to a 50 million pixel ultra-wide angle lens, and a commonly used 8 million pixel 50X periscope telephoto camera was added; in terms of screen, honor Magic4 was upgraded to the latest generation LTPO screen, supporting 1920Hz PWM high-frequency dimming; in addition, The IP68 that many users care about has also been upgraded on the Honor Magic4. Let me take you to actually experience the Glory Magic4.
Familiar but surprising
When I first started with the Glory Magic4, I didn't bring me a bright feeling in terms of design. But after playing with it for a while, I savored the glory of the aesthetics of symmetry. The back of the fuselage continues to adopt the acclaimed "Eye of the Muse" design, the main camera, telephoto, long and wide angle three lenses are arranged in a symmetrical manner, and the circular image module matches the rectangular fuselage, showing the pursuit of balanced beauty and symmetrical beauty in traditional culture.
Glory Magic4
In terms of color matching, Honor Magic4 has a total of porcelain cyan, flow gold, bright black, glazed white four colors to choose from, we have this in our hands is glazed white color, pure white body with black lens module, bringing an all-encompassing balanced beauty. At the same time, the glass fuselage back plate feels warm and delicate when held, which has a bit of ceramic texture.
Coming to the front of the fuselage, honor Magic4 adopts an LTPO quad curved display, the micro-curved design on the side brings a good sense of grip, and thanks to about 94% of the screen ratio, it presents a borderless visual experience in terms of perception. It is worth noting that the Honor Magic4 adopts a centered hole design in the front lens part, so whether it is from the front or the back, it can reflect the ultimate pursuit of symmetrical aesthetics in the Magic4.
From the overall appearance experience, Honor Magic4 inherits the advantages of the previous three generations of products well, and on the basis of the previous game, adds a new understanding of balanced beauty and symmetrical beauty, familiar but contains surprises. Therefore, whether it is an old user of Honor Magic or a new friend who has not been exposed to Honor products, it is easy to accept the appearance design of Honor Magic4.
Bring the PWM dimming to the LTPO screen
LTPO screens seem to have become the standard for this year's flagships, and the Honor Magic4 is no exception. Honor Magic4 uses the third generation LTPO screen, combined with the self-developed MotionSync technology to achieve "adaptive dynamic frame rate", in order to achieve the effect of reducing power consumption and protecting battery life.
Although LTPO screens are available to everyone, all products currently on the market that use LTPO screens are low-frequency dimming strategies. This is also an important reason why many iPhone users this year feel discomfort in their eyes after upgrading to iPhone 13. (For details, refer to the previous release of "Why I Sold the iPhone 13 that I just used for a month, this matter starts from the "spicy" eyes") and Honor brought us high-frequency PWM dimming on the LTPO screen of the Magic4.
Netizens complain about LTPO's low-frequency dimming
Honor Magic4's 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming can reduce brightness fluctuations through higher dimming frequencies, and in low-brightness scenes with insufficient light, it can effectively alleviate the user's visual fatigue and reduce the pressure on the eyes. Let's take a set of comparisons, compared with the iPhone 13 Pro Max and Honor Magic4, which also use ltpo screens.
iPhone 13 Pro Max with Honor Magic4
It can be clearly seen that the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a thicker twill on the screen than the Honor Magic4. This also means that the time interval between the dark screen and the bright screen is relatively large, and the flickering information is more easily received by the eyes, so that the eyes have symptoms such as dryness and fatigue; on the contrary, the glory Magic4 that uses 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, the time interval between the dark screen and the bright screen is very small, so it is reflected in fine twill.
All along, high-frequency PWM dimming is a major selling point for domestic manufacturers such as Honor, Huawei, and users are also very recognized for high-frequency PWM dimming, the glory in the Magic4 LTPO screen brought high-frequency PWM dimming solutions, to users ltpo and high-frequency PWM dimming I all want the option, but also to the entire industry to bring LTPO and high-frequency PWM dimming compatible solutions. LTPO screen as a new development direction of the mobile phone screen industry, honor Magic4 high-frequency PWM dimming is the future development of LTPO screen, bringing positive guidance and promotion.
Multi-camera computational photography was upgraded
The multi-main camera fusion computing photography technology on the Honor Magic3 series has been unanimously recognized by the media and users, and the multi-main camera fusion computing photography technology in honor Magic4 has been upgraded. It not only upgrades the capabilities of each camera, but also enhances the "tacit understanding" of full lens participation and full focus segment integration. According to the official introduction of Honor, the Honor Magic4 series is equipped with honor's self-developed HONOR Image Engine image engine, which integrates chip capabilities through heterogeneous different chip platforms and plug-ins to achieve the full release of software and hardware capabilities. And also equipped with a self-developed AI-RAW super portrait engine, network performance increased by 300%+, so that the portrait can take into account the details of high dynamic scene highlights and dark areas in night scenes, HDR scenes, video conferences and other scenes.
Based on the time relationship, we have not yet carried out the actual test of shooting, in the follow-up evaluation we will be the newly upgraded multi-main camera fusion computational photography technology, 4K 60fps 10bit-log movie mode, "record and shoot" and other functions for the actual test experience.
summary
Time is short, this is our initial experience of the Honor Magic4, we will also follow up the detailed experience, for the Honor Magic4 series of comprehensive evaluation. The release of Magic4 is not only a flagship answer sheet handed over by Honor on the new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, but also shows that Honor has its own technical patents and core advantages in building high-end flagships. For users, after the release of the Honor Magic4, there is another high-end flagship choice when purchasing mobile phones. If you need a flagship phone with a high-end, business-style style, honor Magic4 may be your current choice.
