Display Comparison
Both devices utilize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset, but display characteristics differ. The OnePlus 10 Pro boasts a measured peak brightness of 780 nits, suggesting a brighter outdoor viewing experience. While the Honor Magic4’s display specifications aren’t provided, the OnePlus 10 Pro’s infinite (nominal) contrast ratio indicates a superior visual experience with deeper blacks. The absence of refresh rate data for the Magic4 makes a direct comparison difficult, but the OnePlus 10 Pro likely offers a smoother experience if it features a high refresh rate panel.
Camera Comparison
Both phones feature capable camera systems, but detailed sensor information is limited. Both are described as having Photo/Video capabilities. Without specific details on sensor size, aperture, or optical image stabilization (OIS), a definitive camera comparison is challenging. The absence of information on the Magic4’s camera system makes it difficult to assess its strengths and weaknesses relative to the OnePlus 10 Pro. We can assume both phones will offer competitive image quality in good lighting conditions, but low-light performance will depend heavily on sensor size and image processing algorithms.
Performance
Both the Honor Magic4 and OnePlus 10 Pro are equipped with the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4nm) chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU configuration: 1x3.00 GHz Cortex-X2, 3x2.50 GHz Cortex-A710, and 4x1.80 GHz Cortex-A510. This means raw processing power will be nearly identical. However, thermal management and sustained performance are where differences may emerge. The OnePlus 10 Pro’s larger chassis could potentially offer better heat dissipation, mitigating throttling during extended gaming sessions. RAM specifications are not provided for either device, but both likely utilize LPDDR5X for fast memory access.
Battery Life
The OnePlus 10 Pro holds a significant advantage in charging speed. It supports 80W wired charging (International) – completing a full charge in 32 minutes – or 65W (North America) with 58% charge in 15 minutes, alongside 50W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. The Honor Magic4 offers 66W wired charging and 5W reverse wired charging. The OnePlus 10 Pro’s faster charging capabilities are a major benefit for users who need to quickly replenish their battery. The OnePlus 10 Pro also boasts an endurance rating of 107 hours, suggesting optimized power management despite a similar battery capacity (not specified for the Magic4).
Buying Guide
Buy the Honor Magic4 if you prioritize a potentially more refined software experience and are less concerned with the absolute fastest charging speeds. Buy the OnePlus 10 Pro if you value rapid charging – both wired and wireless – and a proven track record of performance optimization within the OxygenOS ecosystem. The OnePlus 10 Pro is the better choice for power users and those who frequently need to top up their battery quickly.
