Honor Magic4 Best Edition Review: More Well-Stocked Sincerity Oversized Cup

It is estimated that no one thought that the first "super cup" in this year's domestic flagship market was actually the Magic4 edition from Glory. What is even more unimaginable is that this flagship not only continues a lot of cutting-edge configurations and top positioning of last year's best version, but also carries the AI ISP chip developed by Honor, and there is almost no slot point at the configuration level. So how was it experienced? Let's take a look.

Still full of momentum texture design

In terms of appearance, the design of the Honor Magic4 Edition is actually very similar to the design of the Magic3 Edition, which is still a very textured streamlined back cover and the image module of the "Eye of the Muse", with a wealth of straight lines, curves and circles colliding, forming a very recognizable design.

Under the design, it is the nano-microcrystalline ceramic glass material that the Honor Magic4 Edition still insists on using. This material has been widely used in the high-end flagship market, the biggest benefit is the texture of round, hard texture, and glory has also been deeply polished on these characteristics, with a variety of curved surfaces, brushed craftsmanship and high-gloss decorative lines, to create a unique complex touch for it.

Of course, compared to the previous generation, the Magic4 Ultimate Edition's periscope telephoto camera has moved to the center of the image module, which makes it look more symmetrical and harmonious, and can present a more regular look.

On the front, the Honor Magic4 Edition has also been upgraded to a four-curved screen, and also breakthroughly supports high-frequency PWM dimming at 1920Hz and LTPO variable adaptive refresh rate of 1-120Hz - in simple terms, this good-looking screen not only looks at the eyes, but also saves power.

The fluency is good, and the game performance is decent

As a flagship, Honor Magic4 Edition is naturally the top level in the configuration, the new generation of Snapdragon 8, 12GB of large-capacity LPDDR 5 memory and 512GB of large-capacity UFS 3.1 flash memory, enough for everyone to use for many years, is indeed a true flagship level.

In terms of actual performance, we also tested its running score, in the well-known Antutu, it ran out of 960,000 points, although it is not a very top level, but considering its business style design, this running score is still justified, it is already a true flagship level.

The same is true in the actual game test, where we used it for half an hour for Glory of Kings. At first glance, this average frame rate is only 111.26 frames, but in fact, in the middle of the way we switched a round, in the process of selecting heroes and loading, its intelligent refresh rate was locked at 60Hz, which was the result.

After we removed the frame rate limit halfway through that period, its average frame rate improved significantly to 115.38 frames, which corresponds to the stable data we saw in the game at around 115 frames. As far as this frame rate score is concerned, it is still quite smooth to play "Glory of the King" with it.

Self-developed chip blessing, the image is very eye-catching

The real eye-catching configuration is the image configuration of the Honor Magic4 To the Best Edition. This slightly exaggerated image module in appearance is also exaggerated in the actual configuration, 50 million pixel wide-angle main camera + 64 million pixel ultra-wide angle lens + 64 million pixel periscope telephoto lens + 50 million pixel spectral enhancement camera, multi-main camera design is indeed very low-cost. The wide-angle main camera stack is even more amazing, it is a custom sensor GNH from Samsung, the light sensitivity area has reached 1/1.12 inch, which is already one of the best in the mobile phone image.

In the actual shooting, the imaging quality of the Honor Magic4 to the best version is also quite excellent, the oversized main camera sensor brings a very detailed picture quality performance, the dynamic range is also very good, but its color palette is plain, it looks more realistic. The sample of the ultra-wide angle lens is also relatively close in the image perception, but after all, the sensor has a certain gap, in order to better restore the sky, its overall picture will be darker, but the overall picture quality is still good.

Coming to the ultra-telephoto, the performance of the Honor Magic4 Ultimate Edition is somewhat amazing, in the 3.5x and 7x zoom (the lens itself optical zoom magnification is 3.5 times) under the picture quality is still quite capable, the analytical performance is quite strong, in this year's released domestic flagship, the performance of this periscope telephoto has been called the "ceiling" level.

In the night scene shooting, the performance of the Honor Magic4 to the best version is still a relatively good level, thanks to the outsole sensor and the Glory Night Scene multi-frame fusion algorithm, the sample taken is very bright, showing the colorful night scene at the same time very restored look and feel, the overall performance is very good, if the condition of the smear can be further optimized, the picture quality performance will be more surprising.

In fact, I would prefer night shots from the Magic4 Ultimate Edition's ultra-wide-angle and periscope telephoto lenses. Although the picture quality performance is not as good as the main camera, the sample of the former is more visually impactful, while the latter can capture some local beauty, which is also one of the charms of this multi-master photography module.

The battery life performance is average, and the 100W fast charge is very fast

In terms of battery life, the configuration of the Honor Magic4 Ultimate Edition is "not so commercial", frankly, I would think that under the weight of this fuselage, the capacity of 4600mAh is not large enough - but in reverse, this may also be a small sacrifice made by the Honor Magic4 Ultimate Edition for the stacking of other hardware.

It seems that because of this factor, the Glory Magic4 Ultimate Edition consumes slightly higher power in Weibo browsing and online video playback, reaching 9% and 11% respectively; but its power consumption performance in "Glory of kings" is very good, and the one-hour game consumes only 18%, which shows that its game power control level is still good. Of course, in general, its comprehensive battery life performance is still relatively good, perhaps the LTPO screen and in-depth optimization have played a good power saving effect.

In terms of charging, honor Magic4 Tor has also been upgraded to a 100W fast charge, which takes only 29 minutes to charge from 2% (because it starts automatically shutting down at 2% to 100%) and displays "full" on the phone. Among them, in 2 to 4 minutes, its charging efficiency is very high, and it has been filling at a very smooth speed since then, without significant slowdown.

In addition to 100W wired charging, Honor Magic4 Ultimate Edition is also equipped with 50W wireless charging, which is also comprehensive and powerful in terms of charging configuration.

summary

In addition to the many excellent configurations and experiences mentioned above, in fact, the Honor Magic4 Ultimate Edition has also achieved a true flagship level in many details, such as IP68 dustproof and waterproof, such as USB 3.1 GEN1 and the Type-C interface that supports DP1.2 transmission (and even equipped with computer mode), such as smart privacy calls and other privacy protection functions. These detailed considerations also reflect Glory's unique understanding of the "top flagship" and their full sincerity.

Under such a configuration, the price of honor Magic4 to the best version of 7999 yuan will not only not appear to be high, but will show a sense of sincerity, which is also the focus of my repeated reviews. With such a domestic flagship taking the lead, I believe that this year's "super cup" model of the domestic flagship market will still bring us quite a lot of surprises.
