Reviews for the Honor Magic4 Lite

79% Honor Magic4 Lite 5G review: Smartphone with big display and strong battery | Notebookcheck
Magic represents Honor's top league of smartphones. Lite, on the other hand, is an indicator of slimmed-down hardware. The Honor Magic4 Lite 5G thus falls in the middle between two poles. 120 Hz refresh rate, but only an LC display. Triple camera, but neither wide-angle nor telephoto lens. Magic or Lite? Read our review to find out.

Having recently reviewed the best phone I have ever used and then one that any other company apart from Google would have consigned to the bin 18 months ago this was always going to be, shall we say, difficult. In the past I have reviewed several other Honor offerings, so to be as fair as possible I took a good bit longer before presenting my thoughts.

Honor Magic 4 Lite Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
Undoubtedly, the Honor smartphones have lost their legacy, but still, there are fans like you and me who are excited about their upcoming phones. Although, the Honor Magic 4 Lite is not one of those devices that gives any out-of-the-box that the current market is not offering. The positive side of this phone would be the camera experience and long-lasting battery, while the design and build aspects varied from user to user. So, if you are not a huge phone of Honor phone, then we won’t recommend this phone in the first place. Instead of this, you can check out the Samsung Galaxy A53. With this phone, you will gain all-rounder specs and will provide great value for your money. But still, the final decision should be based on your preference only. So, compare them and choose anything that fits your needs.

Honor Magic4 Lite 5G Battery test
Source: DxOMark English
The Honor Magic 4 Lite 5G’s battery performance was excellent overall, showing that it was a well-balanced device with very good autonomy, an excellent charging experience, and decent efficiency. During the typical usage scenario testing, which is done using the device’s default settings, the Honor demonstrated very good idle management and excellent autonomy. During this series of tests, however, we noticed that the device’s automatic display brightness was relatively low when the screen was in very bright light conditions compared to other devices. While this could have contributed to the excellent autonomy results, it also had an impact on the user experience. The same screen behavior was also noticed in the on-the-go tests. During calibrated tests, in which the brightness is set at 200 nits, the device struggled when streaming videos, with below-average autonomy. The gaming performance, however, was decent. The 66W travel adapter charged 80% of the large 4800 mAh battery capacity in only 28 minutes, and took 43 minutes to a full charge, which is much faster than the average.

The Honor Magic 4 Lite 5G/X9 5G is an impressive 5G device when it comes to performance, but its media potential suffers due to dismal speakers and bizarrely inconsistent camera results. And yet, there’s so much to like. The battery life is good, the screen is huge, and it doesn’t sacrifice power to chase that 5G dragon. However, those aforementioned rivals from the likes of Xiaomi and OnePlus are cheaper and have superior AMOLED screens so if they are available where you live then they make for better buys.

60% Honor Magic4 Lite review

The Honor Magic4 Lite appears to be ill-equipped the tackle the competition. The software feels unfinished and lacks basic features, the display is LCD while most alternatives offer OLEDs, the loudspeaker quality is subpar, the camera experience just isn't up to the snuff, and there's no microSD card slot. Unfortunately, aside from the 5G connectivity, the good battery life with fast charging and the big screen, the Magic4 Lite doesn't have a lot going for it. And we are not sure Honor can leverage its past brand loyalty to entice users to get a product that's not very balanced, to say the least. Perhaps your money is better spent elsewhere, and there are even cheaper options.

The Honor Magic 4 Lite looks impressive. With a sizable 6.81-inch display, it's bordering on being a (just about) pocket-sized tablet. The sleek black exterior might be plasticky, but it feels good in your hands, giving you the impression it's a premium-priced device for less. That's almost the trend for the Honor Magic 4 Lite. It offers a lot to like and ticks many of the most important boxes, while costing a reasonable £319 (around $390 / AU$565). However, it also misses the mark a few times, meaning this isn't a hidden gem of a bargain. As with most phones at this sort of price, you'll need to compromise and focus on what is most important for you.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 619: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 750G) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance is a lot better than the old Adreno 612.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


SD 695 5G: Fast mid-range ARM SoC with 8 CPU Kryo 660 cores (two fast 2.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A78 based cores in a cluster and six power saving ARM Cortex-A55 based cores at 1.7 GHz) and a lower mid range Adreno 619 GPU. Supports only Wi-Fi 5 and is manufactured in the 6 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.81":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).


68.76%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
