The Honor Magic V3 made its global debut at IFA 2024, introducing new innovations to the foldable smartphone segment. But how does it stack up against Samsung’s established premium foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 6? Here are three reasons why the Honor Magic V3 might just outshine the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Honor Magic V3 vs Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6: Design & Display

One of the biggest innovations with the Magic V3 is the improvements in design. Honor didn’t throw a “fat” jab at Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 for no reason. For those unaware, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm in thickness, while the Magic V3 is just 9.2mm thick. There is nearly 3mm in difference, which is quite a feat. You could even say that it’s a generation ahead of the competition. Honor is also claiming that the Magic V3 is rated to last 500,000 fold cycles.

This device also offers taller primary and cover screens compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Honor’s Magic V3 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 and a peak brightness of up to 5,000 nits. On the other hand, the Z Fold 6 features a 7.6-inch internal and a 6.3-inch external screen with a Dynamic AMOLED 2x panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It offers a 2160 x 1856 resolution on the primary screen, while the cover display has a 2376 x 968 resolution.

Bigger Battery & Faster Charging

The Magic V3 packs a large 5,150mAh battery pack, which is bigger than most foldable smartphones of its kind. This cell also supports 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. Both the charging and battery capacity once again outclasses the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Samsung’s flagship foldable phone packs a 4,400mAh battery unit with support for 25W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging. So overall, you’re not just getting a bigger battery but the lesser down time since the Magic V3 charges faster. Processor and optimizing also play a role, but both models feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.

Camera

Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a triple camera setup on the rear with a 50-megapixel primary sensor (OIS), a 10-megapixel telephoto shooter (OIS, 3x Zoom), and a 12-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. For selfies and video calls, users get a 10-megapixel shooter on the cover display and a 4-megapixel under display camera on the primary screen.

While these are quite capable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 falls short of the Galaxy S24 Ultra in camera despite being more expensive. The Magic V3 arrives with Honor’s Falcon Camera system. This consists of a 50-megapixel 1/1.56-inch main sensor (OIS), a 40-megapixel ultra wide angle lens, and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto unit (100x digital zoom, OIS). For selfies and video calls, it packs a 20MP camera on the internal and external screens.
