Honor Magic Vs3 debuts: 0.6mm thicker than the Magic V3, cheaper

Alongside the Magic V3, which is now the new world's thinnest foldable, Honor also announced the Magic Vs3. And while this one is thicker, it's also incredibly thin - down to 9.8mm when folded, in its Velvet Black colorway, and 4.65mm unfolded. So it's 0.1mm thinner than the Magic V2 launched last year, which up until today was the world's thinnest foldable. That makes the Vs3 the world's second slimmest foldable at the moment.

We say this to point out that while the Magic Vs3 is a cheaper option than the Magic V3, it's no slouch either. It's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, and weighs 229g (Velvet Black) or 231g (other versions).

The inner, folding screen is 7.92" 9.78:9 with 2344x2156 resolution, the cover display is 6.43" 20:9 with 1060x2376 resolution. For both you get 3840Hz PWM dimming and an eye protection mode with AI defocus.

The Magic Vs3 runs Android 14 with MagicOS 8 on top. It has a 50 MP main camera, a 40 MP ultrawide, and an 8 MP periscope telephoto for 5x optical zoom. For selfies there are two identical 16 MP shooters on each display. The phone has a 5,000 mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging support.

It will be offered in three RAM/storage combos: 12/256GB for CNY 6,999 ($965), 12/512GB for CNY 7,699 ($1,060), and 16GB/1TB for CNY 8,699 ($1,200). Aside from the aforementioned Velvet Black colorway, you can also get it in Qilian Snow and Tundra Green.

That is, of course, if you live in China, as the handset is only on sale over there currently. Hopefully we'll see an international launch at some point in the future.
