The global launch introduced the HONOR Magic V3, HONOR MagicBook Art 14, HONOR MagicPad 2, and HONOR Watch 5, marking the growth of the brand in the smart device market.
HONOR Magic V3: A foldable marvel of design and durability
The HONOR Magic V3 is a flagship foldable smartphone that perfectly combines stylish aesthetics with sophisticated engineering. With 9.2 mm thickness when folded, the Magic V3 weighs 226g, making it the thinnest foldable yet. To achieve this level of sleekness, HONOR has to make use of 19 types of advanced materials and integrated 114 microstructures in the construction of this phone to make it slim yet resilient.
In addition, another highlight is that the Special Fiber material increases the impact resistance of the device by up to 40 times compared with conventional flagship phones while reducing the back cover thickness by 30%. The device also uses HONOR Super Steel Hinge for up to 500,000 folds, certified by SGS for durability.
When it comes to display, Magic V3 features a 6.43-inch external screen and a 7.92-inch internal foldable display. It offers great viewing experiences that are even more enabled with AI Defocus Display, 4320Hz Risk-free PWM Dimming, and Circadian Night Display for eye comfort. Eventually, there will be no stress on your eyes even after long hours of use.
