The Honor Magic V3 is one of the slimmest foldable phones you can buy today. Here you will find everything you need to know about folding furniture.
The Honor Magic V3 is the brand’s latest foldable smartphone and takes on models like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, Pixel Fold and OnePlus Open.
The Magic V3 series consists of two phones: V3 and Vs3. Similar to the Honor Magic V2, the Magic V3 series is also very thin for a book-style flip phone.
To put that into perspective, the Magic V3 is 9.2mm thick when folded and just 4.35mm thick when unfolded. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 12.1 or 5.6 mm in size.
So if you’re looking for one of the best foldable smartphones in 2024, the Magic V3 series might be worth a look.
The company has started releasing its V3 Magic phone globally. However, we don’t know if both phones will launch globally at the same time.
The official teaser reads: “Honor Magic V3. Thin, light and foldable. Soon we will have to wait and see which device makes its international debut.”
Honor UK’s website already has a dedicated page for the device and a “Magic Insider” promotion offering a trip for two to Germany, but nothing has been announced about a possible launch date.
One of the benefits of this promotion is that lucky winners can “Try Magic V3 at home for free for a month.” Ideally, such an ad would run before launch to create hype around the phone and suggest that the phone might not be available until late August or early September.
Expected price
Magic V3 and Vs3 are priced at 8,999 yuan and 6,999 yuan in China, which is equivalent to $1,240 and $964, respectively.
International prices may not be easily converted. However, these phones are expected to be priced aggressively. The Honor Magic V2 has launched in the UK and EU with a base price of £1,699.99 / €1,999. Given the frequent updates, we expect the Magic V3 to be similarly priced.
Design, specifications, functions
Even though design and lifestyle elements are the main focus of the folding phones in the Honor Magic V series, these should not be neglected when it comes to the specifications.
The Galaxy Flip and Pixel Folds phones were traditionally thick and chunky, and Honor’s Magic series was traditionally thin. This slim form factor makes the phone easy to hold and maneuver and fits easily into your front jeans pocket.
The Magic V3 is available in four colors: Velvet Black, Snow, Tundra Green and Red, while the Vs3 is not available in red.
