The Honor Magic V3 foldable flagship will make its global debut at IFA this September

Even though Honor promised to move faster, the Honor Magic V2 still took its sweet time getting to Europe – the phone originally launched in late July 2023 and only came to Europe in late January 2024. Its successor is going to make the trip much faster.

Honor will attend IFA and is bringing three key devices: the Honor Magic V3, the Honor MagicPad 2 12.3 and the new Honor MagicBook Art 14 2024. The big launch event is scheduled for September 5, just before IFA 2024 officially kicks off.

The Honor Magic V3 is stunningly thin for a foldable, 9.2mm, and very light too, 226g. It’s closer to a regular bar phone like the Galaxy S24 Ultra (8.6mm, 232g) or the iPhone 15 Pro Max (8.3mm, 221g) than it is to foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold6 (12.1mm, 239g) or the Pixel 9 Pro Fold (10.5mm, 257g).

Even so, it packs a powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a large 5,150mAh battery (more than any of the phones we mentioned above) and, even better, it has a capable camera system – 50MP main, 50MP 3.5x periscope and 40MP ultra wide.

What’s not to love? The price, we’re guessing. The Magic V2 launched at £1,700/€2,000, so the V3 probably won’t be cheap. But it might be the best foldable on the European market, we’ll see. Also, there’s no word on the cheaper Magic Vs3 joining the V3 on its global journey.

Let’s quickly introduce the other two important devices. The Honor MagicPad 2 has a 12.3” 144Hz OLED display (IMAX Enhanced, 1,600 nits), a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, eight speakers and a 10,050mAh battery with 66W charging.

Like the Magic V3, the Honor MagicBook Art 14 2024 is very thin and light – 12.95mm and 1.03kg (0.51” and 2.27lbs). It has a 14.6” OLED display (3:2) with no visible webcam, but it does have one – the webcam is a detachable module that stores on the left side of the laptop and uses magnets and pogo pins to attach to the top of the display when it’s needed. Take a bow, Honor. Anyway, the laptop can be configured with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H or Ultra 7 155H with Intel Arc graphics, 16GB or 32GB of RAM and up to 1TB storage.

You can fill in a questionnaire on Honor’s teaser page and you will have a chance to win an Honor Magic V3.
