A New Standard for Thin and Light
The Magic V3 is pushing the boundaries of foldable design:
- Thickness: Just 9.2mm when folded
- Weight: As light as 226 grams (for the vegan leather model)
These specs put the Magic V3 in a league of its own, rivaling even traditional non-folding flagships like the iPhone 15 Pro Max (8.3mm, 221g) and Galaxy S24 Ultra (8.6mm, 232g) in terms of portability.

Global Availability
While Honor has struggled with timely global releases in the past, the company seems eager to accelerate its international rollout:
- The Magic V2 took about 6 months to reach Europe after its initial launch
- Honor is aiming for a faster global release with the V3
Pricing Concerns
The Magic V3's cutting-edge technology is likely to come at a premium:
- The previous Magic V2 launched at £1,700/€2,000
- Expect similar or potentially higher pricing for the V3
Beyond Smartphones
Honor's IFA event will also showcase:
- Honor MagicPad 2: A 12.3-inch tablet with a 144Hz OLED display and Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip
- Honor MagicBook Art 14 2024: An ultra-thin (12.95mm) and light (1.03kg) laptop with innovative features like a detachable webcam
The foldable smartphone market is heating up, and Honor's Magic V3 looks poised to set a new standard for portability and performance. Tech enthusiasts will be eagerly awaiting more details as the September 5 launch approaches.
