The flagship foldable smartphone HONOR Magic V3 is now in the Philippines. HONOR’s latest book-style foldable, and currently the world’s thinnest so far, boasts of innovations in durability, battery, display, and AI tech.

Launched in partnership with network provider Globe, the HONOR Magic V3 is now available in the country under Globe GPlan 2499.

Customers interested in getting the HONOR Magic V3 (12GB+512GB) can purchase via Globe for a one-time cashout of PhP 31,600.

As part of the Philippine launch, HONOR is also offering a free HONOR Pad X9 for every subscription, until December 31, 2024.

The plan comes with 25GB of mobile data and unlimited all-net calls and texts.

It’s also available on GPlan Plus 1799 for an initial cashout of PhP 38,400.

Pricing

If you wish to purchase the foldable flat-out, the official Philippine price is PhP 89,999. It comes with a free HONOR Pad X9 until December 1, 2024.

HONOR Magic V3

Announced globally at IFA 2024 two months ago, the Magic V3 has a folded thickness of 9.2 millimeters and weighs only 226 grams. It has a 6.43-inch external display and a 7.92-inch internal foldable screen. Both LTPO OLED panels are fortified by anti-scratch shields as well.

The foldable also incorporates a Special Fiber into its body material to enhance its impact resistance. Moreover, it has HONOR’s SGS Durability-certified Super Steel Hinge to withstand 500,000 folding cycles.

Beyond its form factor and flagship durability, the Magic V3 boasts of displays with Dolby Vision, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, DCI-P3 wide color gamut, 1.07 billion colors, and 4320Hz PWM Dimming.

Best AI foldable phone?

The Magic V3 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor and Adreno 750 graphics. Inside, the foldable also has a 5,150mAh Silicon-Carbon battery with support for 66W wired and 50W wireless SuperCharge.

It runs on HONOR’s MagicOS platform, so users can be assured of some of HONOR’s familiar on-device AI tech.

There’s AI Motion Sensing, AI Eraser, Face-to-Face Translation, and Translation tools under HONOR Notes. There’s also the brand’s signature Magic Portal and Parallel Space.

Built with Google Cloud AI

Furthermore, the Magic V3 harnesses the power of Google Cloud AI. Announced last month, the foldable now comes with Circle to Search, powered by Google.

If you’re familiar with Google Lens, Circle to Search basically does the same, but with more precision. Users can try the feature with either a stylus or just their fingers. Simply encircle a part of an image and search results will instantly be pulled up based on the object.

Circle to Search has several practical applications, from research all the way to shopping. The same goes if you just want to recall more information about a photo you took. The AI-powered feature is definitely a big help.

It’s one of those AI capabilities on your phone that you’d rather have and not need, instead of need but not have.

And Circle to Search isn’t the only AI feature on the HONOR Magic V3. The world’s thinnest book-style foldable is equipped with AI Eraser, Face to Face Translation, and HONOR Notes, among other pro-grade productivity features.

HONOR also introduced AI Defocus Eye Protection and AI Deepfake Detection technologies to address health and safety concerns associated with smartphone usage.
