HONOR has announced the global launch of three devices in the Magic 3 series – the HONOR Magic 3 Pro+, HONOR Magic 3 Pro and standard HONOR Magic 3. The trio have the same 6.76-inch FHD+ Flex OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color bit depth, in-display fingerprint sensor and HDR10+; and relies on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888/888 Plus mobile platform (Pro and Pro+). They also come pre-loaded with Android 11 with Magic UI 5.0 on top and the rear camera design is dubbed “The Eye of Muse”.
The rest of the shared features include HONOR Image Engine, USB 3.1 Type-C port, up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, up to 512GB (UFS 3.1) storage, glass and leather back versions, Bluetooth 5.2 LE, and 13MP (f/2.4) selfie camera with 3D Depth Sensing ToF Camera (Pro and Pro+).
HONOR Magic 3 Pro and Magic 3
The Magic 3 Pro is IP68-rated (dust and water resistant) and powered by the more recent Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 Plus mobile platform while the Magic 3 is IP54-rated (dust and water resistant) and based on the equally powerful Snapdragon 888 mobile platform. Either choice of chipset is complimented with features such as OS Turbo X, GPU Turbo X and LINK Turbo X. Power is supplied by a 4,600mAh battery with 66W HONOR SuperCharge for the duo, while the Pro adds both reverse charging and 50W Wireless HONOR SuperCharge.
The Pro model is equipped with quad rear camera setup with 50MP (f/1.9, Sony IMX766) main camera paired with 13MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera, 64MP (f/2.2, Laser AF) monochrome camera, 8×8 dToF sensor and 64MP (f/3.5, OIS) periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom, and 100x digital zoom. The original Magic 3 lacks the telescope camera (triple camera setup) and additional dToF sensor.
