The HONOR Magic V3 is available through Globe Postpaid’s GPlan Plus 1799. With this, comes 20GB data and unli All-net call and text. This plan comes bundled with HONOR Pad X9 worth P9,999.
I just found it curious why this plan would bundle a tablet when the Magic V3 itself, when unfolded, is basically a small tablet. But hey, free stuff is always good.
“It feels like just yesterday when we launched the HONOR Magic V2 and now, we are ecstatic to introduce HONOR’s newest and thinnest foldable smartphone, the HONOR Magic V3,” said Stephen Cheng, vice president, HONOR Philippines. “AI is slowly but surely reshaping our industry, enriching and creating new experiences that improves creativity and productivity for consumers all around the world, every day, and right now, it’s our priority to make comfort and technology accessible to more Filipinos.”
At 9.2mm, HONOR boasts that the Magic V3 is the thinnest foldable device out there. It’s also features a few other impressive elements that enhance its sturdiness such as a “special fiber” for increased durability and the NanoCrystal Shield to make it scratch resistant.
There are also features that HONOR has included, such as the “world’s first AI Defocus Display technology, 4320Hz Risk-free PWM Dimming, Dynamic Dimming, Circadian Night Display, and Natural Tone Display.” To boil it down, the HONOR Magic V3 is smart enough to automatically adjust the brightness of your screen and color tones based on your current situation. So, no more max bright jump scares when all the lights are off.
Other features include a 5150Mah battery, 66W wired charging and 50W wireless. The trifecta of its camera system is called the Falcon Camera System – because, I assume, this phone has eyes sharp as a falcon – and this entails a 50MP Periscope Telephoto Camera (they should have called this the Falcon Zoom, if they eventually did, you heard it first from me), a 50MP Main Camera, and a 40MP Ultra-wide camera (because a falcon’s all-seeing).
And like everything in 2024, where AI is everywhere, the HONOR Magic V3 also comes with AI features. I’d like to say we’ve gone a long way from the days when every phone maker bragged about having an AI camera. In recent times, we’ve seen what sophisticated AI can actually do. However, most of the AI features on phones today still heavily involve the cameras. Cool stuff. But still mostly within the confines of the camera.
These AI stuff are: AI Portrait Engine that improves portrait images, AI Motion Sensing to capture fast-moving subjects, and the AI Eraser, to get rid of all those pesky people in the background who are just taking their own selfies. Though, we do get a bit more stuff, like the Face to Face Translation, Translation for HONOR Notes, and the Magic Portal, which is a predictive tool to help you in your productivity flow.
The HONOR Magic V3 is available in Green and Black.
