Introducing the Honor Magic 3 series

Tonight we welcome Honor’s first flagship series after being sold off by Huawei. The new Magic 3 series comes with three devices: Magic 3, Magic 3 Pro, and Magic 3 Pro Plus. These phones are coming to China first, but Honor plans a global release soon. And with that global launch, the handsets will come with Google’s apps and services.

Honor wasn’t able to do this with its past few devices as a subsidiary of Huawei because of its US sanctions.

Like the Xiaomi Mix 4, the Magic 3 Pro and Pro Plus run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 Plus processor, while the Magic 3 runs on the Snapdragon 888 chipset. 

They all get 6.76-inch 1344p OLED curved displays with a 120Hz refresh rate and 4,600mAh batteries supporting 66W wired fast-charging. The Magic 3 Pro and Pro Plus also get 50W wireless charging with support for reverse wireless charging. Both also get IP68 dust and water resistance, while the Magic 3 gets an IP54 rating.
