The Honor Magic V3 128GB is Honor's 2024 smartphone featuring a 7.92 inches, 201.6 cm2 (~88.6% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM8650-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (4 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5150 mAh battery. At AED 3,800 in the UAE and ₹74,999 in India, it sits firmly in the upper mid-range tier.
The Honor Magic V3 excels with its 50MP periscope telephoto (3.5x optical zoom, OIS) delivering crisp long-range shots, a 5150mAh battery sustaining 10h 5m active use, and 66W wired charging replenishing 0–100% in under 40 minutes. It targets professionals needing flagship camera versatility and all-day endurance without carrying a second device—think travel photographers or business users reliant on foldable multitasking. Its weakness? Thermals under sustained 5G load, with noticeable throttling after 25 minutes of 4K recording. In UAE at AED 3800, it’s competitive because it outperforms the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in battery and charging speed at a lower price. In India at ₹74999, it’s overpriced: the Pixel Fold offers better software polish and camera processing for ₹7000 less, while the OnePlus Open delivers similar performance at ₹69999. The Magic V3’s hardware is strong, but its software and pricing don’t justify the premium in India.
