Honor’s new MagicPad 4 is the world’s thinnest Android tablet

The MagicPad 4 has a slightly smaller 12.3-inch screen than its 13.3-inch predecessor. But that’s a minor trade-off given the new tablet now uses a 165Hz OLED display instead of LCD. Its battery is, not surprisingly, also a bit smaller at 10,100mAh, and while Honor hasn’t shared battery life estimates, the new OLED screen could potentially help it outlast last year’s model. Thanks to everything being smaller and thinner, the new MagicPad 4 weighs about 145 grams lighter than the MagicPad 3.

The tablet is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset paired with either 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, or 16GB and 512GB. It runs MagicOS 10, which is based on Android 16, and you’ll find a 13MP camera on the back with a 9MP camera on the front. Its photography capabilities may be basic, but like last year’s model, the MagicPad 4 excels at audio with a total of eight speakers providing a spatial audio experience. If you like annoying other passengers on a flight by forcing the sound of the movie you’re watching onto everyone around you, this could be a tablet worth considering.
