Honor Magic 4 Lite 5G (Silver)

Having recently reviewed the best phone I have ever used and then one that any other company apart from Google would have consigned to the bin 18 months ago this was always going to be, shall we say, difficult. In the past I have reviewed several other Honor offerings, so to be as fair as possible I took a good bit longer before presenting my thoughts.

It's a kind of magic. Magic represents Honor's top league of smartphones. Lite, on the other hand, is an indicator of slimmed-down hardware. The Honor Magic4 Lite 5G thus falls in the middle between two poles. 120 Hz refresh rate, but only an LC display. Triple camera, but neither wide-angle nor telephoto lens. Magic or Lite? Read our review to find out.

It's a kind of magic. Magic steht bei Honor für die Oberliga der Smartphones. Lite ist dagegen ein Indikator für abgespeckte Hardware. Das Honor Magic4 Lite 5G steht damit irgendwie zwischen den Stühlen. 120-Hz-Bildwiederholrate, aber nur ein LC-Display. Tripple-Kamera, aber weder Weitwinkel- noch Tele-Linse. Magic oder Lite? Das haben wir getestet.

The Honor Magic 4 Lite offers good performance for the price, but it lacks a great camera and an OLED screen, which means it doesn't always hit the mark.

There are compromises in the screen and build too, but both are reasonable for the money, while the battery life and charging speeds are genuinely great. Coupled with 5G, solid performance and a low price, the Honor Magic 4 Lite could make certain buyers very happy, just make sure you know what you want from your phone before buying this, as it doesn’t excel everywhere.
