Honor has confirmed that its MagicPad 4 tablet will be launching globally. Already showcased across several official pictures, the MagicPad 4 features a large display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 chipset and a five-figure battery. By the looks of things, the Honor MagicPad 4 will launch months before Samsung gets the Galaxy Tab S12 series out the door.

Honor already has the Magic V6 foldable and the Robot Phone in the pipeline. For reference, those pair are set to debut during MWC 2026 in Barcelona. In the meantime, Honor pivoted to teasing another high-end device. Specifically, the company has confirmed that it has developed a successor to the MagicPad 3 series.

Surprisingly, Honor has shared initial details globally before showcasing the same tablet in China. The device in question is the MagicPad 4, which Honor has confirmed features a 12.3-inch display. Additionally, the company has hinted that the display offers a 165 Hz refresh rate, like the compact Legion Y700 Gen 4 before it.

Moreover, the MagicPad 4 leverages at least a 10,000 mAh battery within a sub-5 mm thick housing. Also, Honor has teased the inclusion of a recent Snapdragon 8 series chipset. Based on recent rumours, this will be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 that already powers smartphones like the OnePlus 15R (curr. $699.99 on Amazon). According to the terms of Honor's 'MagicPad 4 for £1' competition, the MagicPad 4 should reach general availability by April 1.
