Honor Trims Tablet Thickness by a Whole Millimeter and Calls It Progress
KEY POINTS
- •Honor announced the MagicPad 4 tablet with an unprecedented thickness of 4.8mm, slimmer than many rivals.
- •The MagicPad 4 has a 12.3-inch 165Hz OLED display, smaller than last year’s 13.3-inch LCD screen.
- •It features a smaller 10,100mAh battery, balancing slimness against slightly reduced power for daily use.
In a breathtaking saga of ultrathin tech obsession, Honor announced the MagicPad 4, now boasting a hair-raising 4.8mm thickness—exactly 1mm less than last year’s MagicPad 3, which was already skinny at 5.8mm. This daring feat boldly out-thins Apple’s iPad Air at 6.1mm, the iPad Pro at 5.1mm, and Samsung's Galaxy Tab S11 at 5.1mm. The screen shrunk slightly from 13.3 to 12.3 inches to make way for a 165Hz OLED display, taking battery size down to a modest 10,100mAh. Honor clearly wants us to debate if losing a millimeter is worth a slightly smaller battery and size, because shrinking is winning, apparently.

(1 of 3)Honor's latest tablet is thinner than a millennial's patience at 4.8mm, squeezing a 165Hz OLED and a smaller battery into what looks like a glorified credit card. Because when you have to choose between ‘thinness’ and ‘usefulness,’ thinness wins every time.
MagicPad 4 is basically a techy version of going on a diet, minus the energy—10,100mAh battery now 'lightweight.'
Honor cut a full millimeter off last year’s tablet, proving that in 2026, every millimeter lost is a slice of sanity gone.
