HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro or HONOR Magic4 Pro
 |
| HONOR Magic4 Pro design |
Build/Design - The HONOR Magic4 Pro features a glass-sandwich curved body with a big circular camera hump at the back. The screen features curved edges and a pill punch-hole cutout. It also comes with IP68 water and dust resistance.
 |
| HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro rear design |
The HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro also has a circular camera island that has been a staple since Mate 30. It has a 3D curved back design and a 3D curved screen that sandwiches its glossy frame. It does have a long notch though. The Orange Vegan leather variant also features Kunlun Glass which is extremely durable.
With the Kunlun Glass up its sleeve, we give this to the HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro.
 |
| HONOR Magic4 Pro OLED screen |
Display - The HONOR Magic4 Pro features a 6.81-inch Quad-Curved LTPO OLED screen w/ 120Hz refresh rate, 1920Hz PWM dimming, MEMC, HDR10+, IMAX Enhanced, 2848 x 1312 resolution at 460 ppi.
 |
| HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro 3D curved OLED screen |
The HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro, on the other hand, has a 6.74-inch Kunlun Glass protected (3D curved OLED screen w/ up to 120Hz refresh rate, 300Hz touch sampling rate, 1440Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, 2616 x 1212 resolution at 428 ppi.
The HONOR Magic4 Pro takes a slight lead here with a few better features available such as its 1920Hz PWM dimming, MEMC, HDR10+, and IMAX Enhancement.
Specs - For performance, the HONOR Magic4 Pro features the 3.0GHz 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 octa-core processor, Next-Gen Adreno GPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, and a 4,600mAh Li-Pol battery with 100W SuperCharge + 100W Wireless SuperCharge.
HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro, on the other hand, has a 3.19GHz 4nm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 octa-core processor, Next-Gen Adreno GPU, 8GB RAM, up to 512GB expandable storage, and a 4,700mAh w/ 66W SuperCharge + 50W Wireless SuperCharge + Reverse Wireless Charging.
In terms of CPU and GPU, we will give the HUAWEI Mate 50 because it is the faster Plus variant of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. However, it has no 5G unlike the SD8G1 of the Magic4 Pro.
The Magic4 Pro does have a faster wired and wireless SuperCharge technology at 100W each.

| HONOR Magic4 Pro's triple camera setup |
Cameras - HONOR Magic4 Pro features a 50MP f/1.8 Wide Camera + 50MP f/2.2 Ultra Wide Camera + 64MP f/3.5 3.5x Periscope Camera + Dual LED flash. It also has a 12MP + 3D Depth Camera selfie camera.

| HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro's triple camera setup |
The HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro has a triple-camera setup with a 50MP f/1.4 to f/4.0 Ultra Aperture Camera w/ phase focus + contrast focus, OIS, AIS + 13MP f/2.2 Ultra-Wide Angle w/ AF + 64MP f/3.5 Telephoto w/ OIS + LED flash. It also has a 13MP f/2.4 Ultra-Wide-Angle + 3D Depth Sensing Camera for selfies.
In terms of sensor sizes, the HONOR Magic4 Pro has the bigger sensors spread across all three of its rear cameras. It has a 50MP+50MP+64MP array compared to HUAWEI's 50MP+13MP+64MP array.
In terms of features though, the HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro features the Ultra Aperture feature, phase + contrast focus, OIS, and AIS. The Mate 50 Pro is also the highest-rated camera phone at the moment.
In selfies, it is virtually tied with HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro having 1 more megapixel than the HONOR Magic4 Pro.
So in conclusion, both have great camera systems. The 13MP ultra-wide-angle camera for HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro is a bit of a downer compared to the HONOR Magic4 Pro's 50MP sensor.
Other features - HONOR Magic4 Pro features an In-DIsplay fingerprint sensor, WiFi 6 2x2 MIMO, 5G, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.2 BLE (SBC, AAC, aptX, aptX HD, LDAC), GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, stereo speakers, DTS:X Ultra, Google Services, and USB-C.

HONOR Magic4 Pro advantages - IMAX enhanced OLED screen, 50MP ultra-wide camera, 100W wired and wireless charging, Google Services out of the box, 5G ready, more affordable
HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro advantages - Faster Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC, Ultra-aperture camera, bigger battery capacity, more storage options, expandable storage, OIS/AIS, Kunlun Glass (Vegan Leather variant)
Our thoughts
Both the HUAWEI Mate 50 Pro and HONOR Magic4 Pro offer compelling specs and features for the premium flagship segment.
But, the HONOR Magic4 Pro edges out the Mate 50 Pro in some segments. Yes, the Mate 50 Pro features the faster Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the new ultra-aperture camera system with OIS and AIS, and the Kunlun Glass. The lack of Google services and 5G out of the box is still a thorn in its side though.
However, the HONOR Magic4 Pro aside from being 5G-ready and having Android 12 out of the box, also has a larger ultra-wide camera, and a faster 100W SuperCharge charging for both wireless and wired technology. It is also the more affordable of the two.
