In the mobile phone market, Honor has had a very good reputation since its birth, whether it is quality, workmanship or appearance aesthetics, all aspects of performance is very good. As the new flagship of Honor in 2022, Magic4 is also one of the most eye-catching products, shortly after the release of the single product sales champion in Jingdong and Tmall, and also won 97% of the praise, in the 4-5K file sales even reached twice that of other brands. In the new Snapdragon 8 camp, the Honor Magic4 is indeed very successful, and even Qualcomm executives have publicly stated that "the Magic4 series is the best high-end flagship phone that interprets the new Snapdragon 8 chip." What makes Magic4 attractive in the highly competitive Android flagship camp?
In terms of appearance, the front of magic4 uses hyperboloid surface, 86 degrees super curvature screen design, completely invisible to the left and right borders, which gives Magic4 the ultimate visual experience, and the standard version can use hyperboloid screens, plus the "Muse's Eye" ring lens module design with a very high degree of recognition behind the fuselage, which largely meets the vanity of consumers' inner demand for the appearance of high-end mobile phones.
In terms of performance, the Magic4 series does not engage in differentiation, the whole series is equipped with a new generation of Snapdragon 8 mobile platform, which is a top chip in the Android camp, Samsung 4nm process technology, the new ARMV9 architecture, CPU performance is 20% higher than the previous generation, power consumption is reduced by 30%, and the GPU of the new Snapdragon 8 is also the industry's top level, and the performance is almost the same as that of Apple A15. After the optimization of the glorious system, coupled with the upgraded third-generation graphene heat dissipation technology, Magic4 can be described as a successful taming of this chip and fully released the potential of this chip.
For example, the GPU Turbo X technology launched by Honor, through the perception adjustment of the AI model, improves the software and hardware coordination ability at the bottom of the system, improves the game picture quality, frame rate and reduces the power consumption of the chip, thereby bringing users more lasting battery life. In the 120-frame highest picture quality measurement link of "Glory of the King", the average frame rate of 1 hour was 115.4 frames, except for the hero selection link, which was forced to 60 frames, the other links were almost maintained at the full frame rate, and the overall performance was stable and smooth.
And the extremely hardware-hungry "Original God" opens a very high quality, 60 frame mode, the average frame rate after 1 hour can also reach 54.5 frames, the first half of the hour is very stable, although there are some fluctuations after 40 minutes, but Magic4 did not have the problem of lock frame, frequency reduction, the game performance industry first echelon. And after playing for 3 hours with "Glory of kings", "Original God" and "Bright Mountains", the maximum temperature of its fuselage is only about 43 degrees, and to be honest, the tuning of The Glory Magic4 to the new Snapdragon 8 has indeed reached a new height.
In terms of photography, the Magic4 is equipped with a 50MP ultra-wide angle, 50MP wide-angle, dToF laser focus system, and a rare 8-megapixel periscope telephoto of the new Snapdragon 8 camp, which supports up to 5x optical zoom, 50-digit zoom, and a front-facing 12MP selfie lens.
As we all know, after the ISP of the new Snapdragon 8 was upgraded from 14bit to 18bit, the dynamic image capture capability was increased to 4096 times that of the previous one, plus the super multi-frame synthesis technology of the new Snapdragon 8 and the computational photography composed of the seventh generation OF AI engine, which brought great improvements to the camera effect of the Magic4. Based on the new image hardware, upgraded ISP and AI, Honor Magic has brought great advantages to Honor's multi-main camera fusion computing photography, so that Magic4 has brought another improvement in clarity, color and picture quality during night shooting, selfie, macro shooting, and multifocal shooting. The video recording and shooting function allows users to take high-definition photos without interruption during video recording, which solves a major pain point for many creators and photography enthusiasts.
Overall, whether it is design, performance performance or image performance, Magic4 is the absolute superior student in this batch of new Snapdragon 8 camps, and can successfully tame the new Snapdragon 8 and fully release the potential of this chip, which is not only glory's technical accumulation over the years, but also the testimony of glory's software and hardware research and development strength, and indeed continues Huawei's advantages in the field of mobile phones!
