HONOR Magic V3 5G phone, 512/12 GB, black (model 5109BJNH)

The biggest, strongest and lightest multi-purpose folding device you never knew you needed. The sleekest foldable phone in its category, the HONOR Magic V3 packs plenty of reliable battery and computing power, usability, award-winning eye-friendly displays and HONOR's AI-powered MagicOS interface into its slim body. Weighing just 226 grams, the device sets a new benchmark in foldable smartphones with the durability of its body, display glass and hinge structure. In a major upgrade, the Magic V3 brings IPX8 water resistance and a completely redesigned feature set of cameras to HONOR's foldable phone category.

Structure and Design

The HONOR Magic V3 is a stunningly slim package built from four rigid materials: the body, back cover, hinge, inner and outer screens are among the strongest in the industry. Thanks to the manufacturing technology, the device is just 9.2 mm thin and weighs 226 grams, and is designed to withstand daily use without fatigue and, with an IPX8 rating, will not shy away from getting wet. Both display panels are protected by HONOR's latest expertise in shock and scratch resistance. The hinge structure connecting the halves is made of steel, resistant to up to 500,000 folding cycles. The matte black aerospace fibre material on the back cover is stylish and even more impact resistant.

Cameras and imaging

The device offers cameras on every surface: a 20 megapixel front camera on the top edge of both displays and a triple-camera combo in the octagonal diamond-cut island on the back cover, complemented by HONOR's state-of-the-art imaging algorithm. The HONOR Magic V3 has features for every type of shooter, from stills to video, for the best results.

You can use the large internal display as a larger viewfinder when shooting, as well as enlarge the preview images of recent shots to make shooting easier. And of course, the rear cameras can be used with the help of the front display to capture even better selfies. New features for the first time on a HONOR foldable device include post-adjustable depth of field and focus point, HONOR Harcourt mode and a periscope telephoto camera.

Third-generation silicon-carbon battery and the latest Snapdragon 5G chipset

The HONOR Magic V3 packs a miniature silicon-carbon battery with a combined capacity of 5150 mAh into each half of the device, which won't leave you stranded on the road after a day on the road. You can charge your device quickly and effortlessly with the 66W wired and 50W wireless HONOR SuperCharge charger. Whether you use your phone primarily from an outdoor or indoor screen, battery life won't be a drag on your productivity. Performance for everyday use is provided by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 -5G chipset, which won't buckle under even the heaviest multitasking. Heat generation is kept in check with a titanium vapor chamber, the thinnest in the industry. HONOR's technological hardware and application-level innovations provide comfort and peace of mind in terms of security, connectivity, durability and entertainment content.

Power, Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence with MagicOS

This foldable industrial design masterpiece is user-friendly and intelligent under the skin and in its user interface. Deep collaboration with Google's AI brings new dimensions to the HONOR MagicOS AI user experience. MagicOS 8.1 has many excellent features built-in to facilitate everyday use, such as the single-motion Magic Portal sharing, search and data flow tool, an AI magic eraser for retouching images with AI, and a simultaneous interpreter that understands text and speech, which can also be used to transcribe meeting notes.

Whether it's translating an interview in real time or enhancing images with a magic eraser built into the image editor, the large internal display also adds value and workspace to these functions. With Magic Portal, the fold-out internal display makes it easier than ever to operate in adjacent windows. Similarly, the Parallel Mode function makes it easy to separate work and leisure phones, even if you want to use them side by side.

Durability, lightness, thinness, great AI features and camera package are complemented by the comfort of HONOR's eye-friendly displays, certified by TÜV Rheinland. High-quality display panels won't strain your eyes even after prolonged use, colours are reproduced naturally and all content from games to office tools is a pleasure to look at. A circadian blue light filter and dynamic dimming bring comfort to evening use, and in direct sunlight, screens remain readable with high peak brightness.
