Our Verdict
With impeccable performance, an excellent OLED display, and plenty of productivity and media playback features, the Honor MagicPad 4 gives you almost everything you could want from an Android tablet at a very reasonable price. The software needs honing, and the optional accessories aren’t the best, but pound for pound, there’s very little that can touch it.

Best Prices Today: Honor MagicPad 4
You can’t really blame Samsung for turning out incremental updates to its extended tablet family year on year. It’s nailed the formula, and continues to provide the best non-iPad hardware in the business.
That’s the standard line, at least, and it’s one that Honor would doubtless like to challenge. With the MagicPad 4, it’s offering an extremely powerful, well-equipped tablet that’s as good at productivity tasks as it is for media consumption.
Best of all, it manages to pull all this off at a hugely competitive mid-market price.
This year’s model reinstates an OLED display and amps up the performance while dramatically reducing bulk. It’s a pretty formidable package. If you’re looking for a Galaxy Tab or iPad Air alternative, this might be it.
one of the finest Android tablets in its class
