Design

The Honor Magic3 and its Pro variant have more or less the same design with a circular camera module and premium material. You can choose between a glass back or a vegan leather back, but both versions have an aluminum frame. The Honor Magic3 Pro+ has a different design with a bigger camera module that may seem ugly for a few people, but it is built with better materials as it comes with a great ceramic back and an aluminum frame. The Honor Magic3 Pro and the Pro+ come with the IP68 certification, so they are dustproof and waterproof. The vanilla version, instead, offers the IP54 certification making it dust resistant and splash resistant.

 

Display

All the phones from the new Honor trio come with the same display. It is an awesome OLED panel with a diagonal of 6.76 inches, curved edges, a Full HD+ resolution, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. The display has a dual punch hole and it is able to show up to one billion colors as it comes with a 10 bit color depth. They all come with a fast under-display fingerprint reader and stereo speakers.

 

Hardware/Software

Despite they are three variants from the same lineup, all of these phones come with flagship hardware. The Honor Magic3 has a Snapdragon 888 mobile platform paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. With the Honor Magic 3 Pro and the Pro+, you get up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage, as well as a more advanced Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset. The phones run Android 11 customized by Magic UI which includes Google Mobile Services in the global market.

 

Camera

The main difference between the variants is the camera department, with the Pro+ offering the most advanced one. The vanilla version has a triple camera including a 50 MP main sensor, a 64 MP monochromatic lens, and a 13 MP ultrawide camera. The Magic3 Pro has exactly the same main camera and the same secondary sensors, but it adds a 64 MP telephoto lens with OIS and 3.5 optical zoom. The Honor Magic 3 Pro+ has a 50 MP main camera and three 64 MP additional sensors: a telephoto camera, a monochromatic lens, and an ultrawide one. The whole series features a 13 MP front camera paired with a TOF 3D sensor for facial recognition.

 

Battery

The battery is the same on each model, just like the display. But the vanilla version lacks 66W wireless charging, which is present on the Pro variants.

The global price of the Honor Magic 3 is  €900/$1060, the Pro variant starts from €1100/$1300, and the Pro+ is priced at €1500/$1770. Which one would you pick?
