Honor launched its all-new Magic V3 foldable smartphone today. However, it’s not the only foldable launched by the company. They have also brought the Magic Vs3, which is a watered-down version of the Magic V3. It cut costs in some areas but still manages to keep big highlights. Let’s explore the new foldable phone in-depth below.
Thin Foldable Smartphone
The Magic Vs3 looks different from its elder brother, the Magic V3. Instead of a circular camera module, the Magic Vs3 has a bold boxy camera cut-out on the rear side. It looks unique and has a bold look to it. Being a foldable device, it has two displays. Both the inner and outer panels have thin bezels giving it a modern look. Moreover, the outer display is slightly curved giving it a premium touch.
The major highlight in the design segment is that this is an incredibly thin and light foldable smartphone. It is only 9.8mm thick when folded, and 4.65mm when unfolded. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a thickness of 12.1mm when folded and 5.6mm when unfolded. Hence, the Magic Vs3 stands out with its thin body. Moreover, it weighs 229g, making it lighter than Galaxy Z Fold 6. Color options for the Honor Magic Vs3 include Velvet Black, Qilian Snow, and Tundra Green.
