Honor Prepares to Launch MagicPad 4 12.1 with Snapdragon Processor and High Refresh Screen
Honor has announced an official press conference in China on September 28, 2026, to unveil its latest technical offerings, including the new Magic 9 smartphone series. Leading the list of new devices is the MagicPad 4 12.1-inch tablet, which aims to provide a smooth and advanced user experience for customers.
Balanced Technical Specs and Flexible Performance
The new device features a screen with a refresh rate of up to 165Hz, ensuring smooth image motion and an enjoyable visual experience during browsing or gaming. Despite being smaller than the previous 12.3-inch version, the tablet maintains high efficiency through the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor, targeted at the upper-mid range.
The massive battery capacity in this model reaches 10,100 mAh, identical to the larger version, ensuring long working hours without interruption. The device also supports up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, with stylus support and PC-level apps to boost productivity.
Market Context and Price Expectations
Previous leaks suggest the tablet uses an LCD screen instead of OLED, which may enhance its price competitiveness in the market compared to other, more expensive models. The product is expected to achieve significant success due to its balance of performance and capacity, with potential global release shortly after its Chinese launch.
Honor remains tight-lipped about final details and exact prices until the official conference, as the company seeks to offer a product combining advanced technology and economic value. This announcement comes amid fierce competition in the tablet sector, where companies strive to offer strong alternatives at affordable prices.
