Honor Magic V3 is the No.1 Foldable According to “Sam Sung”

After a long hype, Honor unveiled its latest technology to global markets thanks to IFA 2024. The company announced new products and brought the Honor Magic V3 to impress the international audience. The Honor Magic V3 received rave reviews across the board – including from Sam Sung, and I’m not talking about the company, but still, it’s a funny pun. Honor decided to mock Samsung with a pun that uses the opinion of a man named Sam Sung.

Honor Plays With “Sam Sung” Reviews at IFA 2024

In addition to the positive reviews from fans, customers, and visitors to the official HONOR booth at Europe’s popular tech exhibition IFA in Berlin, Germany, the world’s thinnest inward folding mobile device – The Honor Magic V3, was named “No.1 foldable” by Sam Sung. Honor embarked on a tour through the streets of Berlin with a mobile billboard adorned with glowing quotes attributed to “Sam Sung”. The billboard’s strategic route included iconic landmarks.

Sam Sung, a recruiter from Glasgow, UK, and Sam Sung, a biomedical science graduate in London, UK, both provided their honest reviews on the Honor Magic V3. The “Sam Sung” review praised the Honor Magic V3 and you can see them below:

• “Number one on my list of foldable phones” – Sam Sung, Recruiter, Glasgow

• “Easily the best foldable phone” – Sam Sung, Recruiter, Glasgow

The Honor Magic V3 Highlights

Several factors make the Honor Magic V3 a very interesting foldable smartphone. However, its nice form factor and sleek design are what make it stand out when compared to other foldable like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. The V3 has just 9.2mm when folded, it’s not too far from regular smartphones (those who don’t pursue sleekness, of course). The phone is super thin when unfolded at just 4.35. It weighs just 226 grams, which ensures it’s not uncomfortable to hold after a long period of usage.

The device features a dome-shaped, octagonal camera module with a diamond-cut design for added strength and style. It uses Special Fiber material, boosting impact resistance and making it 40 times tougher than typical flagship phones, while also reducing the back cover thickness by over 30%.

The HONOR Super Steel Hinge can withstand up to 500,000 folds and is SGS Durability Certified. Additionally, the device is equipped with the HONOR Super Armored Inner Screen and HONOR Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield for extra protection.

The Magic V3 comes with a 6.43-inch external display and a 7.92-inch internal foldable screen. It includes eye comfort features such as AI Defocus Display. It has 4320Hz Risk-free PWM Dimming, Dynamic Dimming, Circadian Night Display, and Natural Tone Display for optimal viewing.

Powered by a 5150mAh Silicon-carbon battery, it supports 66W wired and 50W wireless HONOR SuperCharge. The camera system consists of a 50MP Periscope Telephoto Camera, a 50MP Main Camera, and a 40MP Ultra-wide Camera, offering versatile photography options.

The device includes Magic Portal on Foldable, offering AI-powered photography enhancements like HONOR AI Motion Sensing and HONOR AI Portrait Engine for superior image quality. It also provides productivity tools through Google Cloud, such as HONOR AI Eraser for quick content removal and Face-to-Face Translation for seamless communication across languages.
