HONOR Magic4 Ultimate Edition - Simply the best

In the past few hours, Honor, while presenting it for now in China, has amazed the entire sector attentive to mobile telephony by showing off a top range in cameraphone style, the HONOR Magic 4 Ultimate, destined to be one of the most coveted (and unavailable) of the 'year.

After the models seen at MWC 2022 in Barcelona, and waiting for a Lite variant, HONOR has completed the top range Magic 4 series with the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate model (163.6 × 74.7 × 11.4 mm for 242 grams, in ceramic black colors and ceramic white), already at the top of the photographic ranking of DxOMark, where large calibers such as the "cousin" Huawei P50 Pro and the rival Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra are surpassed.

Priced at 7,999 yuan (1,135 euros), the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate, in the past few hours hypothesized as Honor Magic 4 Pro +, adopts, resulting in the underlying ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, a 6.81-inch AMOLED display resolved in FullHD +, with 19, 54: 9 aspect ratio, 93.5% screen-to-body, MEMC technology which, via LTPO, boasts a dynamic refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and a 360 Hz touch sampling. DxOMark gave it the first place in the category, with 95 points, also thanks to the Pulse-Width Modulation technology (1,920 Hz) which, even at low brightness, makes its vision comfortable, as well as for the 1,000 nits of peak brightness and for the 1.07 billion colors returns

At the top left, there is a 12-megapixel self-camera, with 100 ° wide angle without distortion, 4K recording, flanked by a 3D deep-sensing sensor that can also be used for safer face recognition.

The back has a design that is almost reminiscent of Indiana Jones' Ra Rod, with a longitudinal central protruding section that, at the top, culminates in a maxi central porthole with, in the middle, one of the largest sensors ever seen, the same Sony from 50 megapixels (pixels brought to 2.8 micrometers, but improving the sharpness at the edges by 30% and to 37% in the middle) of the Mi 11 Ultra, sized at 1 / 1.12 ″, with aperture at f / 1.6, 8 lenses, fast autofocus, optical stabilization, video even 4K @ 30fps and - to prevent glare of light - the use of a filter that cuts infrared and ultra anti-reflection. Accompanying it, more on the outside, are an anti-flicker sensor, a 50 megapixel Spectrum Enhanced (f / 2, 1 / 2.5 ″, to capture more details in difficult conditions), an ultra wide angle from 126 ° resolved to 64 megapixel (sized at 1/2 ", with aperture at f / 2.2, 7 lenses and distortion correction - just 0.5% of edges - via Dual Free-Form Lens), a periscope (zoom: 3.5x optical, 100x digital) from resolved half-inch at 64 megapixels (f / 3.5) and optically stabilized, and an 8 × 8 dToF laser focus system.

According to the manufacturer, amateurs will be satisfied by the fact that, being the 3D Look Up Table supported, even in low ambient light they will be able to record in HDR10 +, with filming (also feasible in 4K @ 60fps with 10-bit color depth in the Log format) which, among other things, will benefit from a + 15% dynamic range thanks to opting for the Magic-Log2 format. The audio, needless to say, has not been neglected, being able to rely on DTS: X, on three microphones and on dual speakers: the sensory involvement, in any case, does not lack the vibrational motor along the X axis.

The processor called to drive the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 octacore, supported by a whole series of optimizations (OS Turbo X, and GPU Turbo X) and flanked by a dedicated image chip credited with a power of 28.8 TOPS, for which, just to say, besides processing the images at 20-bit per channel, it is possible to make night recordings in 4K complete with live preview. The use, then, of 12 GB of RAM (LPDDR5), of 512 GB of storage (UFS 3.1), and the presence of a sophisticated thermal disposal system (a hexagonal graphene superconductor combined with three-dimensional liquid cooling VC) , allow you to run MOBA games in 38.4 ° Celsius temperature regime with an average of 59.65 fps.

Net of the different connectivity (Dual SIM with 4 and 5G, Bluetooth 5.2, infrared, Wi-Fi 6, GPS dual frequency with Beidou, Glonass, Galileo, NFC, Type-C) present, inside its IP68 waterproof chassis, the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate also finds space for a 4,600 mAh battery that can be quickly charged both via cable (100W) and wirelessly (100, but at 50W in default mode). The operating system, under Magic UI 6.0, is Android 12.

There is currently nothing on the market that comes close to this model!
