Honor is gearing up for a major product launch on July 12 in China, where it will introduce the Honor Magic V3 alongside the Honor Magic Vs3, Honor MagicPad 2, and Honor MagicBook Art 14. As the launch date approaches, the company has revealed the color options for the upcoming Honor Magic V3. This new foldable is expected to be thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Honor Magic V2, which was celebrated as the world’s slimmest foldable smartphone upon its release in September 2023.
Color Variants for the Honor Magic V3
Initially teased in a striking “Silk Road Dunhuang” (translated from Chinese) red variant, the Honor Magic V3 will also be available in three additional shades: Tundra Green, Qilian Snow, and Velvet Black, as confirmed by a recent Weibo post from Honor. These color options highlight the company’s focus on aesthetic appeal alongside technological advancements.
Design and Build
Promotional materials have emphasized that the Honor Magic V3 will be even thinner and lighter than the Honor Magic V2, which boasts a thickness of 9.9mm and weighs between 231g and 237g, depending on the finish. This reduction in size and weight could make the Magic V3 an even more attractive option for consumers seeking a sleek, portable foldable device.
Expected Features of the Honor Magic V3
A recent Weibo post hinted at several cutting-edge features for the Honor Magic V3, including Honor’s AI-backed Defocus Eye Protection technology and Deepfake Detection technology, both of which were showcased at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) Shanghai 2024 in June. These technologies aim to enhance user safety and viewing comfort.
Under the hood, the Honor Magic V3 is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The device is expected to feature a 5,000mAh battery with 66W wired fast charging support, ensuring robust performance and quick recharges. Additionally, the foldable is likely to support 5G connectivity and satellite communication capabilities in China. The device’s weight is speculated to be between 220 and 229 grams.
In terms of optics, the Honor Magic V3 is expected to sport a 50-megapixel primary sensor. Other notable features include an ultra-thin USB Type-C port and a hinge that may come with water resistance certification, enhancing the device’s durability and usability.
As the launch date approaches, anticipation is building for the Honor Magic V3, which promises to bring a blend of innovative technology and elegant design to the foldable smartphone market. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed specifications following the official unveiling.
