Honor took the stage at IFA Berlin to unveil its latest breakthrough in consumer electronics. One of the highlights of this event was the Magic V3. It is the world’s slimmest foldable smartphone and it packs top notch specs and features. So here’s everything you need to know.
Honor’s biggest innovation with the Magic V3 is its design. The company threw “fat” jabs at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 for good reason. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm in thickness, while the Magic V3 measures just 9.2mm. This is nearly 3mm thinner, which is a big deal for flagship phones. Honor’s new foldable phone also weighs just 226 grams and it’s rated to last 500,000 fold cycles. The rear packs an octagonal shaped camera island, while the sides have an aluminum alloy 7 Series frame.
It sports a 6.43-inch OLED external screen with curved edges offering an FHD+ resolution. The primary display is a 7.92-inch OLED panel that offers a resolution of 2,344 x 2,156 pixels. Both screens feature a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate, Dolby Vision, HDR Vivid, and support stylus. You also get a peak brightness of 5,000 nits.
2. Hardware
Under the hood, the Honor Magic V3 is equipped with Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. The chip is coupled with 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. A large 5,150mAh battery pack powers this device, which supports 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. This model runs on the Android 14 OS based MagicOS 8 custom skin out of the box. Users also get access to AI features, parallel space, and smart private calls.
3. Camera
The Magic V3 features Honor’s Falcon Camera system. This consists of a 50MP 1/1.56-inch main sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), a 40MP ultra wide angle lens, and a 50MP periscope telephoto unit with support for 100x digital zoom and OIS. For selfies and video calls, it packs a 20MP camera on the internal and external screens.
4. Pricing and Availability
Honor unveiled the Magic V3 in three color options, namely Reddish Brown, Black, and Green. The foldable is priced at €1,999 in Europe.
