Alongside the weird and wonderful Robot Phone, Honor also launched something far more practical, the devices people will actually buy. The new MagicPad 4 tablet and MagicBook Pro 14 laptop are designed to work as a connected productivity pair rather than standalone gadgets.

The MagicPad 4 focuses on raw speed and display quality rather than pure entertainment positioning.

Key highlights:

  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
  • 12.3-inch 3K OLED
  • 165Hz refresh rate
  • 4.8mm ultra-thin body
  • AI multitasking tools
  • Cross-device collaboration

It’s clearly aimed at creators and power users — not just streaming and note-taking. It's a thin, light Android tablet with powerhouse performance, a stunning 3K OLED display, and mega-battery life.

Interestingly, Honor also added a Linux development environment option that can run AI assistants locally, suggesting that tablets could become lightweight development machines rather than consumption devices.

Pricing

The MagicPad 4 starts at £599.99 (12GB RAM) and £699.99 (16GB RAM), but early adopters can save £100 off both models for a limited time.

The MagicBook Pro 14 targets sustained workloads instead of peak benchmarks.

It features:

  • Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors
  • 14.6-inch OLED display
  • Colour-accurate panel for creative work
  • Long battery endurance
  • Lightweight chassis
  • Intelligent performance management

The emphasis is on efficiency and ecosystem integration rather than gaming-class power.

The real story: ecosystem continuity

Individually, these are solid devices. Together, they show Honor’s strategy.

Files, apps, and workflows are designed to move seamlessly across phone, tablet, and laptop, and to be compatible with other platforms. The pitch isn’t raw specs — it’s continuity, something that Apple users have enjoyed for years.

Pricing

For now, exact pricing has yet to be announced but, depending on the chosen configuration, you can expect to pay somewhere between $1,200-$1,700 for the MagicBook 14.

Why these matter more than the robot

The Robot Phone shows where devices might go but the tablet and laptop show where the Honor brand actually plans to compete right now: productivity workflows powered by AI across multiple screens.

We currently have the MagicPad 4 in for review.
