was promoted quite heavily in the media, and one of its main features was supposed to be its dimensions. Honor has managed to tame the biggest problem of foldable phones – their thickness. The first time you hold the phone in your hand, you can already confirm that the advertisements were telling the truth. When folded, the phone does not differ in terms of “depth” from the competition, even among regular phones. , and after unfolding the screen, you feel as if you had an incredibly modern, because slim tablet in your hands.
What draws attention is also . Let’s not kid ourselves, this is what we use most often, because it is operated with one hand. Unlike many foldables, we do not feel like we are holding a TV remote control. Finally, we managed to maintain fairly normal proportions, which is pleasing.
It’s not pleasing though. In my opinion, placing it on the right side (within the lock button) is outrageous – or at least it doesn’t suit me. I definitely prefer those placed in the screen, and Google Pixel has accustomed me to their flawless operation. In this case, I quickly changed the lock mode from fingerprint to face detection.
It’s time to take a look at the technical specifications. Here are the dimensions and components of the Honor Magic V3 smartphone:
- 156.6 mm (height), 74 mm (width when folded), 145.3 mm (width when unfolded)
- (black variant): folded 9.2 mm, unfolded 4.35 mm
- (other variants): folded 9.3 mm, unfolded 4.4 mm
- 226-230g
- 6.43 inches, 2376×1060 pixels
- 7.92 inches, 2344×2156 pixels
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
- 12GB+512GB
- 5150mAh
And what does the set of cameras look like?
- 50MP Telephoto Lens (f/3.0, OIS)
- 40MP ultra-wide camera (f/2.2)
- 50MP wide-angle camera (f/1.6, OIS)
There is also a 20 MP (f/2.2) wide-angle camera (internal screen) and a 20 MP (f/2.2) wide-angle camera (external screen)
Considering the elimination of the foldable’s thickness problem, . Although I haven’t chosen Folds to own so far, in this case I can comfortably have it with me all day long and not feel a big difference resulting from the foldable screen. Heck, it’s useful – even during a moment of break and entertainment. But you know that very well.
Apart from the location of the reader. Its dimensions have been designed to the point, and the very protruding camera island must be forgiven. It would not be physically possible to pack lenses into a housing less than 4.4 mm thick. And it takes great photos, so something for something.
On September 4, at the IFA 2024 trade fair in Berlin, the world premiere of the discussed phone took place. This is not a cheap device, because the manufacturer priced it at 1999 euros. How does this compare to the price in Poland? After adding the margins of sellers and fees, we get
Is that a lot? The competing Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 can be found in electronics stores for around PLN 7,700-8,000, although versions with more gigabytes go up to almost PLN 10,000.
