HONOR has officially launched the HONOR Magic3 series as scheduled. These new devices are the company’s first flagship smartphone lineup after being sold off by HUAWEI. The series includes a total of three models, namely HONOR Magic3, HONOR Magic3 Pro, and HONOR Magic3 Pro+ (aka HONOR Magic 3 Zhen Edition). Let’s take a look at what these HUAWEI Mate40 series lookalike phones have to offer.

HONOR Magic3, Magic3 Pro, Magic3 Pro+ Specifications and Features

All three smartphones sport a 6.76-inch 10-bit 89°curved OLED display with a resolution of 2772 × 1344 pixels (FHD+), 1.07 billion colors, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 120Hz refresh rate, and a pill-shaped cutout for front-facing cameras.

Their design is similar to that of the HUAWEI Mate40 series with a circular camera ring. In fact, the HONOR Magic3 Pro+ reminds us off PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI Mate40 RS.

The vanilla model is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 SoC paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage. Whereas, the two Pro models feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ chipset and it is coupled with 8GB/12GB RAM and 128GB/256GB/512GB storage.

The standard HONOR Magic3 comes in four colors (Golden Hour, Blue Hour, Black, White), while the Pro comes in three (Golden Hour, Black, White), and the Pro Plus in only two color options (White, Black). The colors with ‘Hour’ in their names feature a leather finish, whereas the Pro Plus has a ceramic back and the remaining have a glass back.

These phones run Magic UI 5.0 based on Android 11. In global markets, they will ship with GMS (Google Mobile Services). Hence, buyers need not worry about the availability of apps and services.

Honor will be launching the Magic 3 series smartphone on August 12. Ahead of the launch, we have seen a couple of teasers of the smartphone and more keep coming. A leaked image of the Honor Magic 3 has appeared online showing the rear camera design.

The Honor Magic 3 haas already been confirmed to feature five rear cameras. However, this image gives us a clear view of the rear camera design. The rear camera is housed inside a circular housing. There is also a 100X branding which suggests that the device will come with a periscope lens and will likely also have digital zoom output. Other details of the camera setup are still unknown.

An official durability video of the Magic 3 also appeared online giving us a glimpse of its waterproof build. The device was subjected to a series of water submersion tests which it survived unscathed. It was also dropped on various surfaces and the display was subjected to the scratch test. The video also shows the phone’s cooling system in action as it was able to dissipate heat quite effectively.

It is no longer news that Huawei‘s former brand Honor will be launching the Honor Magic 3 smartphone in China on August 12. The company has released several promotional teasers of the product including a video teaser. The Magic 3 has also appeared on the database of benchmark outfit GeekBench. The Honor Magic 3 has now been sotted by AnTuTu on its database, with the outfit sharing some of the key specs of the device extracted from the benchmarked models.

The Honor Magic 3 is a flagship smartphone that will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset. This is confirmed by the AnTuTu listing where it appeared with the model number ELZ-AN20, different from the Geekbench model number ELZ-AN10. The earlier GeekBench listing revealed an 8GB RAM but this model features a 12GB LPDDR5 RAM. Thus, the GeekBench model is likely the Magic 3 while it is the Magic 3 Pro that just hit AnTuTu.

The AnTuTu listing also shows that the Magic 3 will have up to 512GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage. The display size and resolution are still elusive but the display will come with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. The device is also confirmed to run on Android 11 out of the box which we are certain is stock Android.

In terms of the benchmark performance, the Honor Magic3 recorded a total score of 749,223 points. This is notably lower than the score of the Snapdragon 888-powered smartphone. However, since this is likely an engineering unit, the score may be higher when the final model runs through AnTuTu.

The detailed specifications of the Magic3 are still unknown but a leaked video teaser showed it will feature a pill-shaped dual-selfie camera opening while the rear aspect will house five camera sensors.

In the buildup to the scheduled unveiling of the Magic 3 on August 12, Honor has released an official video teaser that highlights several features of the upcoming device. Some of the features showcased in the video include the display and cooling system.

What can be seen from the short video clip is that the screen of the Honor Magic 3 houses a pill-shaped cutout for the dual front camera setup. A sneak peek is also provided in the video of an animation of the cooling system well kitted to optimize the performance of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset.

Honor has continued to flourish since it exited from Huawei. The outlook remains bright for the company, and it would continue to pursue the delivery of innovative and attractive products in its areas of strength.

The Honor Magic 3 will have 8GB of RAM and it will run on Android 11 from the box. Further specs released indicate that the Honor Magic 3 has a monster 5 rear camera setup consisting of three 64MP sensors, a 50MP main shooter, and a 2MP depth helper.

There are still some details yet to be unfurled for the Honor Magic 3 including pricing and availability details. As we move closer to the August 12 event, we expect some official teasers and leaks for the device.
