Zhao Ming, the CEO of HONOR Device Co., Ltd. recently revealed that the upcoming Honor MagicPad will be equipped with the same AI defocus vision relief technology as the upcoming Honor Magic V3. For those unfamiliar with the lineup, the upcoming tablet is going to succeed the company’s high-end Honor MagicPad 13 released in July last year.
AI defocus vision relief + 4320Hz PWM for eye-safely
It is also expected that the upcoming Honor MagicPad will support 4320 high-frequency PWM dimming. The 4320Hz high-frequency PWM was first offered by the Honor Magic 6 series. The IEEE Std1789-2015 international standard says that the flickering of a display becomes almost eye-safe when the PWM frequency exceeds 3125Hz. So the Honor Magic 6 and the upcoming high-end MagicPad can be considered eye-safe in this regard.
In addition to addressing eye fatigue, the upcoming MagicPad reportedly offers improved DC dimming, which combines color accuracy and eye protection at low brightness levels.
A tipster claimed that Honor has applied for a patent for AI-defocused vision relief technology, which can make the screen look like a defocused lens. It is expected to help the user in achieving vision relief. The 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming paired with the AI-defocused vision relief technology demonstrates the company’s focus on eye-safety.
As mentioned above, the new MagicPad is expected to be released in July along with the Honor Magic V3, which is expected to get even thinner as compared to its predecessor, the 9.9 mm Honor Magic V2, which was released in July last year.
To give you an idea of what to expect from the new tablet, last year’s MagicPad 13 offers a 13″ IMAX Enhanced TFT LCD display with a resolution of 1840 x 2880 pixels (~263 ppi density). The panel supports HDR10 and a peak brightness of 700 nits. It weighs 660g / 673g and is powered by the Snapdragon 888 5G and a 10,050 mAh battery.
