Is the Honor MagicPad 4 worth it?
Yes — the best-value premium Android tablet in the UK.
It's only 4.8mm thin and about 450g, yet has a 12.3-inch 3K OLED at up to 165Hz, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip that handles work and games, excellent speakers and a good webcam. Honor promises six years of Android updates in Europe. Battery life is a little lower than the last model but still lasts days of use, the keyboard case has no backlight, and the software is cluttered. It's sold in the UK, not the US.

How we reached this verdict
TechRadar calls it the perfect Android tablet, praising the record thinness, gorgeous OLED, strong performance, excellent speakers and update promise, with only a slight battery drop. Expert Reviews likes how thin and light it is, the decent battery and an excellent webcam, but finds the keyboard unlit and the software in need of polish. Notebookcheck calls its price a no-brainer. One verified Currys owner so far, rating it 5 stars.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
