The post Honor MagicPad 3 12.5 Official: 165Hz Display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Power and 10,100mAh Battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor has officially confirmed that it will launch the Magic 8 series on October 15 in China, alongside a few other new devices. The upcoming lineup includes the Honor Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro, both running the company’s new MagicOS 10, which is based on Android 16.

The event isn’t just about phones. Honor also plans to unveil the MagicPad 3, MagicPad 3 Pro, Magic Watch 5 Pro, and a new pair of Earbuds 4, all launching on the same day. 

Among these, the MagicPad 3 Pro will make headlines as the first tablet powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. This is the same flagship processor that will also power the Magic 8 and Magic 8 Pro. The regular MagicPad 3, meanwhile, is rumored to feature last-gen Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

What to expect?

Getting back to the phones, the Honor Magic 8 Pro will feature a 6.7-inch micro-quad-curved OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.

It could pack a 7,200mAh battery with support for 120W wired and 80W wireless fast charging. On the back, the Pro model may carry a 50-megapixel main camera with OIS, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, also with optical stabilization. A 50-megapixel selfie camera is expected up front. The phone will come in Rising Sun Gold, Azure, Snow White, and Velvet Black finishes.

The standard Magic 8 is rumored to offer a 6.58-inch flat display with the same 1.5K resolution, paired with a 7,000mAh battery and 90W fast charging. It likely skips wireless charging but might keep a similar camera setup with 50-megapixel primary, 50-megapixel ultra-wide, and 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens.

Color options for the Magic 8 may include black, white, light blue, and gold.

The post Honor Magic 8 series with new MagicOS 10 is launching on October 15 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is preparing to expand its tablet lineup with the upcoming MagicPad 3 Pro. But this tablet won’t be alone as the brand as is apparently working on a new compact tablet as well. The Magic 3 Pro could debut soon, with the MagicPad Mini following soon after.

Honor MagicPad 3 Pro Coming Soon along with a Rumored MagicPad Mini

The company has teased that it is planning on launching a MagicPad 3 Pro in the Chinese market soon. Honor’s new high end tablet was seen at an event in the brand’s home market. This will likely be a large tablet similar to the previously unveiled MagicPad 3. To recall, the MagicPad 3 arrives with a tall 13.3-inch LCD display with a 3.2K resolution, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, and a massive 12,450mAh battery. All of these hefty specs were packed in a slim 5.79mm body.

So we can expect the MagicPad 3 Pro to offer either a larger display or an OLED panel (with high resolution). The chipset may be a more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite, although finer details are still at large. Based on the recent sighting, it could be released sometime before the end of this year.

On the other hand, known tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that a new compact tablet is also in the works. This model could be dubbed the MagicPad Mini and will likely take on other smaller tablets like the Redmi K Pad, Red Magic Astra, Huawei MatePad Mini, and the Apple iPad Mini. Unfortunately, there is no official word on this model but the tipster believes it could debut in both cellular and WiFi only variants. The exact size and specs are still unknown, although, Honor could be eyeing an early 2026 release.

The post Honor launches MagicPad 3 with a 3.2K LCD display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 & 12,450mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor has teased its next big tablet ahead of a July 2 launch event in Shenzhen, China—and if the early details are anything to go by, the MagicPad 3 could be one of the most powerful Android tablets of the year.

In a new teaser video posted on Weibo, the company showcases the MagicPad 3’s design and confirms several key specs. The tablet will feature a large 13.3-inch LCD display with a sharp 3.2K resolution and a 165Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for gaming, content creation, and smooth everyday use. It will also support stylus input for note-taking and drawing.

Under the hood, the MagicPad 3 is expected to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, along with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and as much as 1TB of UFS storage. A massive 12,450mAh battery with 66W fast charging is already confirmed, which should keep it running all day. Despite the large battery, the tablet remains surprisingly thin at just 5.79mm and is rumored to weigh about 595 grams.

One of the standout features is its IMAX Enhanced certification, the result of Honor’s multi-year partnership with IMAX. This promises an immersive viewing experience with tuned visuals and audio, aimed squarely at media lovers. A keyboard accessory will also be available for productivity use, though it may be sold separately.

Color options are expected to include white, gold, and gray. While the switch from the OLED panel on the MagicPad 2 to LCD may disappoint some, the bigger screen and a sturdier build—reportedly more resistant to bending—are welcome changes.

In addition to the MagicPad 3, Honor is also expected to unveil the Magic V5 foldable phone, and possibly updates to the Watch 5 Ultra, EarBuds Open, and the new MagicBook Art 14 laptop.
