Honor Magic V3 512GB 5G (Black, MagicOS, 12 GB)

The Honor Magic V3 is thinner, lighter and costs less than the main foldable competition. Its cameras are better, it has more storage, faster charging and a larger battery too. So while the software isn't as refined and Honor's update commitment is less extensive than, say, Google's – for anyone who wants their foldable to feel like a traditional phone when closed the Magic V3 is the one to beat.

This is the latest foldable screen Smart Phone from HONOR. Instead of the idea of a tiny phone enlarging to normal size this offering from HONOR starts as normal size and opens like a normal book to increase to double the size.

The Honor Magic V3 is even thinner, plus it adds wireless charging and gets a better camera. But, it also faces tougher competition. Is it the way to go?

The Honor Magic V3 is an impressive triumph in engineering and performance, blending the current world’s slimmest and lightest foldable chassis with an excellent camera along with the might of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. It also packs good battery life and a bevy of Google Cloud AI-enhanced capabilities though its implementation of AI still needs a bit more polish. That minor quibble aside does not detract from the fact that this is one of the best foldables of 2024.

Capable, durable, and impossibly slim, the Honor Magic V3 might be the best folding phone you can buy.
