Following the hugely successful HONOR Magic V2, HONOR Magic V3 raises the bar even higher by combining a new level of slimness, style, performance, and cutting-edge AI tools into a single device. With its impossibly thin body and premium design, HONOR Magic V3 once again boldly redefines what a foldable smartphone should be.

Ultra-thin design with improved durability
HONOR Magic V3 features an ultra-thin design that measures just 9.2mm when folded, achieved through the use of 19 innovative materials and 114 microstructures. Weighing an impossibly light 226g, it uses a special fibre as its body material, which offers exceptional impact resistance compared to other foldable smartphones. The proprietary HONOR Super Steel Hinge is designed to endure up to 500,000 folding cycles, while the display is strengthened by the HONOR Super Armored Inner Screen and HONOR Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield, offering enhanced durability against accidental drops and everyday wear.
HONOR Magic V3 has IPX8 water resistance, which means it’s well protected against water and will work stable under a depth of 2.5m. Users don’t have to worry about light rain or accidental spills—as the phone can handle these situations without damage.
Redefining the future of smart experience with on-device AI innovations
HONOR uses AI to empower hardware performance to deliver a smarter, more personalised and more secure user experience. In pursuit of this goal, HONOR has reconstructed its operating system to provide better synergy with cloud AI. The Android 14-based MagicOS 8.0.1 on HONOR Magic V3 immerses users in a seamless and intelligent experience, one that is enriched by its advanced smart features that maximise productivity and help the user find their fullest potential.
The innovative AI Empowered Magic Portal understands user behaviour and context to provide useful shortcuts and recommendations, helping to simplify common tasks. Taking full advantage of the large inner screen on HONOR Magic V3, users can open two different floating apps through Magic Portal at once. With this new multi-tasking possibility, users can more easily compare prices while shopping, set up diaries and navigate to different locations than ever before.
Parallel Space is a convenient feature on HONOR Magic V3 that allows for secure isolation and separate storage of work and personal data, ensuring privacy and organisation. With Parallel Space, users can effortlessly operate dual-space apps independently on individual desktops, functioning as if they had a second phone seamlessly integrated into their foldable device.
Powered by Google Cloud
HONOR has partnered with Google Cloud to deliver smoother and more interactive AI experiences. As HONOR continues to cater to the diverse needs of foldable users, it enhances a range of business features with AI capabilities including Face-to-Face Translation, HONOR Notes and AI Eraser to further elevate productivity. By harnessing the power of real-time AI, HONOR Magic V3 supports Face-to-Face Translation, breaking the barriers of language comprehension to increase global understanding. When users activate the Face-to-Face Translation feature, HONOR Magic V3 is capable of providing instant translations during in-person conversations, regardless of whether the device is folded or unfolded.
HONOR Notes on the HONOR Magic V3 has been enriched with new AI-powered capabilities, providing an AI Office experience that is all-rounded, convenient and that anticipates user needs. Voice to Text on HONOR Notes uses AI voice recognition to clearly comprehend user voice input and translate it on to the notes app.
The AI Eraser on the HONOR Magic V3 uses advanced Google Cloud-powered generative AI to seamlessly remove unwanted objects, text, and background elements from photos. It can cleanly erase distractions like pedestrians or graffiti, and even replace removed objects with realistic background content, ensuring your images remain flawless.
