Reviews for the Honor Magic4 Ultimate

Honor Magic4 Ultimate Selfie test
Source: DxOMark English
With a DXOMARK Selfie score of 122, the Honor Magic4 Ultimate offers a capable front camera for daily front camera photo and video capture, but it did not make it among the very best selfie shooters in our testing. Selfie aficionados with money to spend will find better alternatives in the Ultra-Premium segment. Both still images and videos showed good exposure and fairly accurate white balance. A wide depth of field helped keep multiple subjects in focus. However, our testers observed skin-tone issues in some scenes, and a lack of dynamic range meant that highlight clipping was noticeable on some images.

Honor Magic4 Ultimate Camera test

The Honor Magic4 Ultimate is the Chinese brand’s flagship device, featuring top-end specs all around, including a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 5G chipset. The rear camera features a 1/1.12″ 50MP sensor, one of the largest we have seen on a phone and the same size as on last year’s Mi 11 Ultra, in the stabilized primary module. The ultra-wide and tele modules both come with a 1/2.0″ 64MP sensor and offer a focal length range from 11mm to 90mm equivalent. The camera also features a flicker detection sensor that is used to guide the exposure system by capturing ambient light and that helps to prevent banding artifacts. A spectrum-enhanced camera (not activated yet with the tested firmware version) captures additional light information from the near-infrared part of the light spectrum which enhances the clarity and dynamic range of images in outdoor conditions. The camera also uses fusion algorithms to improve texture at the center of the frame when tele zooming. In addition, tele quality is improved through combining optical image stabilization (OIS) and AI super-resolution algorithms.

Honor Magic 4 Ultimate Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
The camera, processor, display, design, and battery performance are some of the main attractions of this phone. If you want a flagship smartphone with the best possible camera system looks no further. If you ask us, the Magic 4 Ultimate’s camera is not only excellent in terms of actual hardware, but its image processing capabilities are also equally impressive. This is one of the best camera smartphones and fulfills photography needs. The price is a bit on the higher side, but considering the performance of the camera and the flagship value that you get, we believe the price is justified. If we have to pick an alternative instead of this, then we would recommend the Sony Xperia 1 IV smartphone which is petty close in terms of camera and performance.

In this review, we take a look at how it performed in our comprehensive array of Display tests. With an overall score of 95, the Honor Magic4 Ultimate puts in a strong performance for many Display protocol attributes, with especially good color rendering that puts it at the top of the charts as of this writing. Its only real drawback is for touch, where it doesn’t feel smooth in any of DXOMARK’s use cases.

Comment

Qualcomm Adreno 730: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 30% faster than the Adreno 660 in the Snapdragon 888 SoC. For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in late 2021.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

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


SD 8 Gen 1: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2021 and manufactured in 4 nm at Samsung. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-X2 architecture clocked at up to 3 GHz. Three more performance cores are based on the A710 but clock up to 2.5 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A510 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 6e modem, a Hexagon DSP (for AI acceleration) and a Spectra ISP. The integrated memory controller supports fast LPDDR5 memory with up to 3,200 MHz. 5G is now included in the chip with the Snapdragon X65 modem.» 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.

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).
