For fans of foldable smartphones living in the West, it’s easy to go a bit myopic and lose track of all the options out there. Sure, you’ve got your Samsung, Google, Motorola, and OnePlus folders, but there’s a lot of interesting hardware out there in other markets, like the incredibly thin HONOR Magic V3, introduced in China just last month. This one, though, is not content to stay put, and HONOR has already shared plans to extend availability globally. As the company gets ready to show the Magic V3 off to the world at IFA, it’s shining the spotlight on some of the phone’s more interesting software features.
The HONOR Magic V3, you may remember, measures just 9.2mm thin, making phones like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 at 12.1mm feel huge in comparison. It’s got a big 7.92-inch folding screen, 6.43-inch cover display, and runs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. Pricing in China starts at 8,999 yuan (~$1,240) for the 12GB/256GB configuration, although anything could happen with that figure as HONOR gets the phone ready for international sales.
