For mobile phones, it is not easy to explore the high-end.

In addition to the comprehensive experience, the design, texture, and highlighting the flagship's "long board" function are indispensable, so all manufacturers have shown their magic, making the domestic high-end mobile phone battle become more and more lively in 2022.

Counting this flagship market of "soldiers must compete", this year's Glory Magic4 Pro is a product that cannot be bypassed.

Magic4 Pro adopts the "Eye of the Muse" shape, as a continuation of the design of the Magic3 series, this round camera module, in a group of rectangular lens flagship mobile phones, has enough recognition, from the look and feel is more symmetrical, the sense of quality is quite strong.

Of course, the lens shape is only part of the sense of quality, the key is whether the lens is harmonious enough after being integrated into the body. The back of the Magic4 Pro uses glass material, and the "glazed white" color scheme does not tend to be transparent, it is a more restrained color grading style, so it is quite warm from both visual and tactile, and then the circular module is placed on it, and there will be no abrupt feeling.

In addition to the design, the image is probably the biggest attraction of the Magic4 Pro.

Under the premise that this year's flagship has abandoned the telephoto, the Magic4 Pro is equipped with a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, which supports up to 100 times zoom, which is commendable.

The performance of this telephoto also lived up to expectations, whether it was 5 times or 10 times the scene, the imaging was clear and the resolution was very good.

The main camera of the Magic4 Pro is 50 million pixels (f/1.8 aperture, IMX766 sensor), and the quality of this lens is also very good, for example, in the daytime scene, the color reproduction is natural, and the color grading style will not be overexerted.

Main photo sample

For example, the following sample is a cloudy scene, even in the AI camera mode, there will be no "cloudy to cloudy" situation.

Thanks to the large aperture of the main camera, the Magic4 Pro's bokeh of the depth of field is also natural in the scenes where the front and back scenes are obvious.

The magic4 Pro's final lens is a 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens, and this lens also has the function of macro photography.

One detail is that because magic4 Pro has enhanced the "computational photography" function, the photo will be processed once by the "naked eye" software processing from shooting to viewing, which will improve the film yield.

Overall, the image is where the Magic4 Pro's longboard is.

In terms of performance, as the flagship phone, the Magic4 Pro is unsurprisingly equipped with a Qualcomm 8 Gen 1 processor.

In the performance test session, under the premise of high image quality of "Original God", the average frame rate of 45FPS was run in 30 minutes, and the temperature control performance was relatively excellent, only about 40 degrees Celsius, so from the scheduling point of view, Magic4 Pro is a more balanced strategy.

Of course, with the blessing of a series of flagship parameters and high-definition picture quality, Magic4 Pro has little pressure to maintain at full frame (60FPS) for games like "Glory of Kings".

In terms of screen, Magic4 Pro is equipped with a 6.81-inch, four-curved screen, supports LTPO adaptive refresh, from the function point of view, can cope with different use scenarios, independently adjust the screen refresh rate (1-120Hz), under the premise of balancing power consumption, in order to bring a smoother sliding experience, which is almost the standard feature of the flagship mobile phone in 2022.

In addition to LTPO adaptive refresh, the Magic4 Pro screen also supports 1920Hz PWM dimming, which can bring better eye protection. In terms of front camera, Magic4 Pro uses a front-facing lens + 3D deep-sense camera, which is used in scenes that require face unlocking such as payment, and the security factor is higher.

Taking "high-end" as the starting point, magic4 Pro's idea is very clear: under the premise of flagship experience, use "image" to open the position. This strategy is different from the style of Glory in the past, but in any case, in the face of high-end market competition of more than 5,000 yuan, through this Magic4 Pro, Honor has reached the level it deserves.
