Adreno 730 GPU optimized using the Turbo X rendering technology, can deliver a high frame rate and network connectivity. Since it has lower latency and less heat, it meets the requirements of most players who use their smartphones for their gaming activities. Magic4 Pro provides smooth graphics and a high-quality gaming experience with enhanced components.
System storage is not an issue either, as it includes 256GB of storage and 8GB of RAM.
Cameras
Honor Magic4 Pro sports a prominent disc at the back. This disc houses three camera modules.

The camera array also includes one LED flash module.
Computational photography powers all cameras. Honor says it increases image clarity and sharpness to about 65 percent if the user combines the two 50MP cameras. The clarity and sharpness move up to 160 percent by combining the use of the wide and telephoto cameras.
Honor claims that Magic4 Pro can deliver a 10-bit Log 4K Video at 60 frames per second. This performance is a first in the industry, so Magic4 Pro can be indispensable to users who like to shoot videos with their smartphones.
