Honor is making a splash at MWC 2022 in Barcelona, Spain with the announcement of their brand new flagship — the Honor Magic4 series. It featured two smartphones — the Honor Magic4 and Honor Magic4 Pro.

Launching alongside the series are the Honor Watch GS 3 and Honor Earbuds 3 Pro.

Honor took its time before fully emerging from the dust brought about by its divorce from Huawei. It relaunched softly with the Honor 50 but is now fully ready to take on the world again with the Honor Magic4 series.

This flagship set features a symmetrical design, enhanced visual experience, superior performance, and outstanding photography and videography capabilities. That’s a tall order of promises and Honor aims to not disappoint.

For performance, both phones are equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip flanked by 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. Honor also put its own ingredient in the mix adding Honor Turbo Engines to maximize the capability of the chipset. There’s also the Honor OS Turbo X which the company says improves fluency, anti-aging, and power consumption.

Paddock Yoyo + Grand Paddock case

How extra are you as an Apple fan? No matter what you say, you’ll probably never be as extra as someone who buys a US$ 5,000 MagSafe charging case for their iPhone and Apple Watch. Hermès has just launched a series of leather chargers and cases specifically made for Apple fans.

Available now, Hermès has three types of MagSafe chargers for iPhone users. The cheapest one, the Paddock Solo, is a simple leather-bound puck that can charge a single device. The charger also has a braided 3.3ft USB cable. It costs an eye-watering US$ 1,250.

On the other hand, the Paddock Yoyo charger offers two charging zones for two devices simultaneously. Shaped like a yoyo (hence, the name), it allows users to roll the cable into a convenient stack. It costs US$ 1,750.

Finally, the Paddock Duo is a charging pad that allows for two devices simultaneously. It just doesn’t have a pocket for the cable. It likewise costs US$ 1,750.

Paddock Duo charger

Now, if you want to upgrade your pricey charging kit even further, Hermès has two cases for them: the Petit Paddock case and the Grand Paddock case.

The Petit Paddock case, as the name suggest, is a snug leather case that fits only the charger (and a brick, if bundled with the Yoyo). The charger and case combo will set you back by US$ 3,725 for the Solo, and US$ 4,225 for either the Duo or the Yoyo.
