Honor Magic V3 is teased to be thinner than its predecessor, the V2

Since its debut in July last year, Honor’s Magic V2 has held the title of the thinnest large-format foldable smartphone, with a mere 9.9mm thickness when folded. However, Honor is set to outdo itself with the upcoming Magic V3, as the company has teased on Weibo.

Raising the Bar in Slim Design

Honor has announced that the Magic V3 will set a new standard for slim foldable smartphones. While the exact thickness has not been officially disclosed, a reliable tipster on X suggests that the Magic V3 will measure between 9mm and 9.98mm. This marks a significant achievement, potentially making it even slimmer than its predecessor.

Advanced Features and Specifications

The Magic V3 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, supporting advanced technologies such as “5.5G” and satellite communication, specifically in China. Additional features include:

• Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
• 66W fast charging
• Ultra-lightweight design, weighing between 220g and 229g
• A battery capacity ranging from 5,000 mAh to 5,990 mAh
• A 50 MP “eagle eye camera”
• An “ultra-thin” USB Type-C port

Innovative AI Capabilities

In addition to its impressive hardware, the Magic V3 will integrate AI features like AI eye protection and AI anti-fraud measures, enhancing both user safety and convenience.

Launch and Availability

Honor has kickstarted its teaser campaign for the Magic V3, hinting at an imminent launch, potentially next month in China. The device is also slated to be showcased at the Shanghai Mobile World Congress 2024 (MWC24).

Continuing the Legacy of Slim Foldables

The Honor Magic V2 remains the world’s slimmest horizontal folding phone, measuring just 4.7mm when unfolded and 9.9mm when folded. The upcoming Magic V3, with its reduced thickness, promises to uphold Honor’s reputation for innovation in the foldable smartphone market.

As we await the official launch, more details about the Honor Magic V3 are expected to emerge, promising an exciting addition to the foldable phone segment.
