“It feels like just yesterday when we launched the HONOR Magic V2, and now, we are ecstatic to introduce HONOR’s newest and thinnest foldable smartphone, the HONOR Magic V3,” shared Stephen Cheng, HONOR Philippines Vice President.

HONOR Magic V3 Specs and Features Overview

The HONOR Magic V3 Series sets a new standard for foldable smartphones, combining ultra-slim design with premium performance. With a folded thickness of just 9.2mm and a weight of 226g, the Magic V3 is thinner and lighter than many flagship bar phones, making it the perfect blend of portability and elegance. HONOR continues to push boundaries in foldable tech, offering not only a sleek design but also exceptional performance with the third-generation Silicon-carbon Battery. With a 5150mAh capacity, the Magic V3 easily supports a full day of usage, even under heavy loads, and features 66W wired and 50W wireless fast charging for quick power-ups.

The Magic V3 also shines in imaging with its Falcon Camera System, featuring a 50MP Wide Camera with the largest f/1.6 aperture among foldables. Despite its slim profile, the Magic V3 incorporates a periscope telephoto lens, offering up to 100X zoom for capturing distant moments in crystal-clear detail. It also supports AI Motion Sensing Capture and hands-free operation through its versatile hover mode, making it perfect for photography enthusiasts. HONOR has truly redefined foldable phone photography, delivering high-quality imaging without compromising on size or design.

To enhance the user experience, the HONOR Magic V3 is equipped with cutting-edge eye protection technologies, including PWM Dimming, Circadian Night Display, and Hardware-level Low Blue Light Technology. These features help reduce eye strain, making long screen sessions more comfortable. The device runs on MagicOS 8.0.1, which utilizes AI-powered features to offer a highly personalized experience, ensuring seamless operation and enhancing productivity on the foldable screen. With its remarkable specs and innovative features, the HONOR Magic V3 Series is a powerhouse in the foldable smartphone market.

Why the HONOR Magic V3 Stands Out

The World’s Thinnest Foldable: Measuring just 9.2mm when folded and weighing 226g, the HONOR Magic V3 rivals the portability of flagship bar phones. Crafted with 19 innovative materials and 114 microstructures, this foldable redefines slim and light without compromising durability.

Its standout dome-shaped octagonal camera module, with diamond-cut details, merges elegance with advanced functionality.

Built for Durability

HONOR didn’t just focus on aesthetics; They’ve built this device to last. Key durability features include:

Special Fiber material: Enhances impact resistance 40x while reducing back cover thickness by over 30%.

HONOR Super Steel Hinge: Tested to endure 500,000 folds, SGS-certified.

Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield: Keeps the device looking pristine despite everyday use.

Immersive Visual Experience

AI Defocus Display Technology.

4320Hz Risk-free PWM Dimming.

Circadian Night Display and more.

This is perfect for binge-watchers and multitaskers looking for an immersive, comfortable viewing experience.
