The HONOR Magic3 Pro has begun to receive the Magic UI 6.0 update in China with version number 6.0.0.118 (C00E118R4P6), bringing along a number of new features and UI changes.

Sized 3.34 GB, the release is most likely a public beta but will be rolled out widely soon when it’s found to be bug-free (via IT Home).

The official changelog mentions improvements to the home screen, automatic dark mode switching, one-click translation, and the fuzzy location feature, among a boatload of other features. Some of these have been given in the snippet from the complete changelog below.

User-Interface

• New desktop: New large folder design, efficient interaction, one touch.
• App Card: Swipe up on the app icon with a horizontal line at the bottom to expand the smart card, which is more convenient to use.
• Dark Mode: The “Sunrise and Sunset” mode is launched in the dark mode, and the dark mode automatically switches after it is turned on.
• Negative screen: The negative screen has been changed from “Smart Assistant・Today” to “Glory Negative Screen”. Welcome to experience the new design of the Honor Negative Screen.

Privacy & Security

• Fuzzy Location: Provide a fuzzy location for apps that don’t need a precise location.
• Clipboard: If the content copied from the clipboard is not pasted beyond the default time of the system, it will be automatically cleared to protect your information security.
• Minimization of permissions: Manage permissions by classification, optimize the permission management interface, realize the minimum permissions for third-party applications to access personal data, and protect your personal information.
• Enhanced mobile phone recovery: In the case of a lost mobile phone, forced shutdown of the mobile phone is prohibited in the lock screen mode. You can use the Find Device function to use SMS to enable mobile data, remotely lock the SIM card, and hide caller contact information.

As already stated, the Magic UI 6.0 update is currently limited to China and there is no indication yet of when it will be making its way to the global variant of the HONOR Magic3 Pro.

Honor is finally back in the global market with a series composed of three amazing flagship phones. We are talking about Honor Magic3, Honor Magic3 Pro, and Honor Magic3 Pro+. All of them are flagships and, despite they carry different prices, they are not mid-rangers. Their specifications are astonishing, but at the same time, it is hard for a non-expert to understand the differences between these three handsets. Is it worth spending more for the Pro variants or the vanilla version is enough? This comparison between the phones from this trio will let you find out.

Honor Magic3 vs Honor Magic3 Pro vs  Honor Magic3 Pro Plus

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.

Honor Magic3 vs Honor Magic3 Pro vs  Honor Magic3 Pro Plus: Price

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?

The post Honor Magic3 vs Magic3 Pro vs Magic3 Pro+: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor Magic3 series is coming next month and while we still have a few weeks of waiting to do, details of the phones have started to surface. Today, key specifications of the top model, the Magic3 Pro+ have been revealed and they are top tier.

The Magic3 Pro+ will be the highest model of the series which has four phones and Honor has packed really impressive specs into the device as revealed in a tweet by @RODENT950.

According to the leaker’s tweet, the Magic3 Pro+ will have a 6.76-inch waterfall display. The panel which is supplied by Visionox will not have a notch or holes for a front-facing camera. Instead, Honor will give it an under-display camera like the upcoming ZTE Axon 30 and Samsung Galaxy Fold 3. There is no mention of the refresh rate but we don’t expect it to be less than 120Hz.

Still talking about cameras, the Honor Magic3 Pro+ will be capable of up to 100x digital zoom, a feature that is dubbed SuperZoom.

Honor will include a 4400mAh battery in the device. While this is smaller than the 5000mAh battery inside the Galaxy S21 Ultra and the Mi 11 Ultra, the Magic3 Pro+ has the upper hand when it comes to charging. The phone will have support for 100W fast wired charging which blows away the measly 25W Samsung’s flagship offers as well as the 67W of Xiaomi’s 2021 flagship. It will also have support for 50W wireless charging.

No doubt these are impressive specs but we can’t wait to find out what Honor will be charging for the phone when it launches.
