In this article, we will go through the specs, features, availability, and expected price of Honor Magic 4, Magic 4 Pro in Nepal.

Honor Magic 4, Magic 4 Pro Overview:

The Magic 4 features a centrally aligned punch-hole camera cutout on the front, whereas the Magic 4 Pro has a pill-shaped cutout on the left. Both devices include a circular camera cutout on the back, which Honor refers to as the "Eye of Muse."

Powering these handsets is a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor that is coupled with up to 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM.
