The Honor Magic 4 Pro has a quad-curved 6.81-inch LTPO OLED display with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate that can shuffle between 1Hz to 120Hz. It should be noted that it is also the first LTPO display with 1920Hz Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Dimming technology. The Honor Magic 4 Pro also includes features such as fusion photography, AI Color and Movie Master with IMAX Enhanced 10bit 4K video recording at 60fps. For imaging, the Honor Magic 4 Pro sports a 50 MP primary sensor with a 7P lens, a 50 MP ultrawide shooter with a 122-degree FoV along with a 64 MP periscope lens with 100x digital zoom. There is a 12 MP selfie camera in a pill shaped cutout with a 3D depth sensor.
The battery capacity in the vanilla Magic 4 is bumped up at 4,800 mAh with charging speeds of 66W. The Honor Magic 4's display is similar to the Pro model albeit for a slightly lower resolution screen. The standard Magic 4 also uses the same main and ultrawide sensor as the Magic 4 Pro model. The Honor Magic 4 features a sole 12 MP camera in the front for selfies.
Both the devices are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with the company's proprietary GPU Turbo X tech to support AI Super Rendering in Mobile Gaming. In terms of software, there is Magic UI 6.0 based on Android 12 OS.
