Honor unveils Magic 4 Pro with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, 6.81-inch LTPO OLED display, and 100W wireless charging, starting at €1,099, available in the coming months

Charging to 50 percent in 15 minutes, wirelessly  —  Honor's latest flagship smartphone, the Magic 4 Pro …

The Verge Jon Porter

Context & Ripple Effects

Honor had already re-entered the premium phone segment with the first post-Huawei Magic 3 series and extended the Magic brand into foldables with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered Magic V. The Magic 4 Pro gives that lineup a conventional flagship counterpart.

Related coverage later records the Magic 6 Pro’s European rollout, showing that Honor continued the Magic Pro line rather than treating this launch as a one-off.

First-order effects

  • Honor adds a €1,099 flagship to its Magic range, giving European buyers a non-folding model centered on a latest-generation Snapdragon chip, LTPO OLED screen, and unusually fast wireless charging.
  • The Magic 4 Pro makes charging speed a primary differentiator for Honor’s premium handset rather than a secondary specification.

Second-order effects

  • Honor’s Magic lineup now spans both the Magic V foldable and a conventional Pro phone using Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, allowing the company to address distinct premium-device preferences under one brand.
  • The 100W wireless-charging claim raises the specification benchmark against earlier fast-wireless flagships such as Xiaomi’s 30W Mi 9 Pro 5G, shifting attention in comparisons toward charging performance as well as displays and processors.

Third-order effects

  • The sequence from Magic 3 to Magic 4 Pro, followed by the Magic 6 Pro’s global availability, indicates a sustained effort to maintain a recognizable high-end Magic family across successive generations and form factors.

The trend: Honor is building the Magic brand into a recurring premium-device line, using flagship silicon, large OLED displays, and charging performance to anchor each generation.
