As expected, Honor took the stage at IFA today to announce the global debut of its thin and light Magic V3 alongside the MagicPad 2 tablet and the MagicBook Art 14 laptop.
The Magic V3 is revolutionary thin and light – 9.2mm and 226 g – not much thicker than a Galaxy S24 Ultra with its 8.6mm – but more importantly, lighter – 232g. That svelteness doesn’t impede everyday robustness though – the foldable IPX8 rated for water immersion. We even tried our hand at killing it and couldn’t.
The Honor Magic V3 has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset with either 12 GB or 16 GB of RAM, and a 5,150mAh battery with 66W wired and 50W wireless charging. You get two 120Hz LTPO displays – a 6.43-inch 1060x2376px cover screen and a 7.92-inch 2156x2344px folding one.
The camera system impresses with a 50 MP 1/1.56-inch main camera, a 50 MP 1/2.56-inch 3.5x periscope zoom, and a 40MP ultrawide with focusing abilities. There’s a pair of 20 MP selfies – one on each screen.

The Honor Magic V3 is available in Black, Green, and Reddish Brown, priced at €1,999/£1,699. Pre-orders are live today and the phone will ship from October 1. You will get 6 months of screen protection for free and, depending on the market up to €300/£300 worth of discounts or free accessories.
UK customers will also be able to claim Bang & Olufsen Beoplay HX headphones for free.
Next up is the Honor MagicPad 2. Its highlight is the 12.3-inch 144 Hz OLED panel and the potent 10,050mAh battery. The slate runs a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip with up to 16 GB of RAM.
The MagicPad 2 comes free of charge with a bonus Magic Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Pencil 3. The tablet comes in Sky Blue and Starry Black, priced €599/£499. There’s an early bird discount of €50/£50. It’s up for pre-order from today and will ship from October 1.
Finally, Honor’s 1.03kg MagicBook Art 14 makes its global debut. The PC comes with a choice of Intel’s Core 5 Ultra 125H and Core 7 Ultra 155H processors, 16 GB or 32 GB of RAM, and 1 TB SSD.
It has a 14.6-inch 3120x2080px 3:2 aspect OLED touchscreen, a 60Wh battery, two USB-C ports (on the left), as well as USB-A and HMDI 2.1 and 3.5mm audio jack on the right.
The MagicBook Art 14 doesn’t have a 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.
Honor held off on announcing the price or availability of the MagicBook Art 14 but teased the rumored Snapdragon-equipped version for tomorrow. Here’s hoping we get some more information then.
