Title: A mega-tablet with a 12.3-inch OLED screen and a no-brainer price – Honor MagicPad 4 review

A speedy Android tablet with a large and super-bright OLED display and top-notch features for under £600? The comparatively inexpensive MagicPad4 offers excellent value for money in the mid-range segment and manages to make the iPad competition seem truly overpriced.

I'm confused, the article says "PWM dimming measuring 5,280 Hz", yet it specifies PWM as 60 Hz. There are a lot of inconsistencies across many reviews like that on Notebookcheck, making it hard to compare PWM across devices.

I have this tablet and it's a bliss to use for consumption, or as a light laptop replacement, much better than an iPad Air or Pro. This tablet (with and without the keyboard cover) has the best surface-to-weight ratio among any tablets in the market at present.

60 Hz PWM? Ouch! OUCH! How is that not listed under CONS?

I asked Marcus Herbrich, here's what he says: PMW is a science all its own. Using an oscilloscope, we measure the "fundamental" frequency (which the software outputs); since this has never matched the manufacturer's specifications in the past, we now also measure the amplitude and a sort of second signal within the signal Data.
This 1/x value fits well with the claimed one form Honor in this case

What's the max brightness without HBM?
