Honor Magic Vs3: Powerful Specs in a More Affordable Foldable
Honor is set to unveil its latest foldable smartphones, the Magic V3 and Magic Vs3, on July 12th in China. While the Magic V3 is positioned as the flagship model, new information suggests the Magic Vs3 will offer impressive specifications at a potentially more accessible price point.
Key Specifications Confirmed
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
- Battery: 5,000mAh
- Charging: 66W fast charging
- Storage Options: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB
- Camera: Includes a periscope telephoto lens
Design and Colors
Honor has officially revealed the design of the Magic Vs3 through pre-order listings in China. The device will be available in three color options:
- Black
- Green
- White
The camera island on the Magic Vs3 features a distinct design compared to its sibling, the Magic V3. However, the overall form factor appears similar to other devices in the Magic series.
Positioning in the Market
The inclusion of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset positions the Magic Vs3 as a powerful device, albeit one step below the flagship Magic V3 (which will feature the newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 3). This strategy allows Honor to compete in the premium foldable market while offering a more affordable option for consumers.
Notable Features

Periscope Camera: Surprisingly, the Magic Vs3 includes a periscope telephoto camera, a feature often reserved for top-tier devices. This addition could give the Vs3 a competitive edge in mobile photography.
-
Large Battery: The 5,000mAh battery capacity is impressive for a foldable device, potentially offering extended usage times between charges.
-
Fast Charging: While it lacks wireless charging, the 66W wired fast charging should provide quick top-ups when needed.
