Honor Magic4 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered smartphone launches in the UK with Google Play Services and considerable pre-order bonuses

Honor has launched the Magic4 Pro in the UK, which it showcased in February at MWC 2022. While the Magic4 Pro debuted in Spain, Honor claims that the smartphone will arrive in other markets 'in the near future'. Unfortunately, it remains unclear whether Honor will sell the Magic4 Ultimate outside China.

Still, the Magic4 Pro relies on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and ships with Google Play Services. Additionally, Honor equips the Magic4 Pro with a 6.81-inch LTPO OLED display that outputs at 2,848 x 1,312 pixels and 120 Hz. Also, the Magic4 Pro ships with Magic UI 6 based on Android 12, unlike recent Huawei smartphones. Moreover, the Magic4 Pro has a 4,600 mAh battery that it can recharge at 100 W over wired or wireless connections.

Elsewhere, the Magic4 Pro has a 50 MP primary camera, a 50 MP ultra-wide and a 64 MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom. Meanwhile, Honor includes a 12 MP front-facing camera that it complements with a ToF 3D sensor for biometrics and depth of field information. For some reason, the Magic4 Pro will only come with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage in the UK.

At launch, the Magic4 Pro will retail for £949.99. However, Honor will include a pre-order bundle that the company claims is worth £324. As the image below shows, the bundle features a Watch GS 3 in its Ocean Blue colourway, along with a wireless charging dock and a Magic4 Pro case. While pre-orders will start from tomorrow, the Magic4 Pro will not be available to purchase from third-party retailers, such as Argos, Amazon and Currys, until May 27. Incidentally, Carphone Warehouse and Three will also offer the Magic4 Pro on pay-monthly tariffs.
