As expected, Honor took to the stage at IFA today to announce the global launch of its thin and light Magic V3, as well as the MagicPad 2 tablet and MagicBook Art 14 laptop.
The Magic V3 is revolutionary thin and light – at 9.2mm and 226g – not much thicker than the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s 8.6mm thickness – but most importantly, it’s lightweight – 232g. That thinness doesn’t hinder everyday ruggedness though – the foldable is IPX8 rated for submersion in water. We even tried to hit it but we didn’t succeed.
The Honor Magic V3 has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and a 5,150mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. You get two 120Hz LTPO displays – a 6.43-inch 1060x2376px cover screen and a 7.92-inch 2156x2344px folding screen.
The camera system impresses with a 50 MP 1/1.56-inch main camera, a 50 MP 1/2.56-inch 3.5x periscope zoom and a 40MP ultrawide with focusing capability. There are two 20 MP selfies – one on each screen.
Honor Magic V3
The Honor Magic V3 is available in Black, Green and Reddish Brown, priced at €1,999/£1,699. Pre-orders start today and the phone will ship from October 1. You’ll get 6 months of free screen protection and up to €300/£300 in discounts or free accessories, depending on the market.
UK customers will also be able to get Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX headphones for free.
Next comes the Honor MagicPad 2. It features a 12.3-inch 144Hz OLED panel and a powerful 10,050mAh battery. This slate runs on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip and up to 16GB of RAM.
The MagicPad 2 comes with a free Magic Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Pencil 3. The tablet is available in Sky Blue and Starry Black colours and is priced at €599/£499, with an introductory price of €50/£50. It is available for pre-order from today and will ship from 1 October.
Finally, Honor’s 1.03kg MagicBook Art 14 has been launched globally. The PC comes with Intel’s Core 5 Ultra 125H and Core 7 Ultra 155H processors, options of 16GB or 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
It has a 14.6-inch 3120x2080px 3:2 aspect OLED touchscreen, a 60Wh battery, two USB-C ports (on the left) and USB-A on the right, and HMDI 2.1 and 3.5mm audio jacks.
The MagicBook Art 14 has no visible webcam, but it does have one — the webcam is a detachable module that’s stored on the left side of the laptop and uses magnets and pogo pins to attach it to the top of the display when needed.
Honor declined to announce pricing or availability of the MagicBook Art 14, but did tease the rumored Snapdragon-equipped variant for tomorrow. Hopefully we’ll get some more info then.
