Magic V3 Elite
World's thinnest book-style foldable in 2024.
The Magic V3 Elite is a foldable Honor smartphone released Sep 2024, with a launch price of $1850. It pairs the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 with a 7.92" 2K LTPO OLED 120Hz display, a 50 MP IMX906 + 50 MP UW + 50 MP 3.5x periscope main camera and a 5150 mAh, 66W + 50W wireless battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 89/100 — The thinnest foldable. Standout strengths: thinnest book foldable of 2024 (4.35 mm / 9.2 mm) and triple 50 mp system with 3.5x periscope. Main trade-off: heavy 226 g still.
The thinnest foldable.
Magic V3 Elite shaved Honor's book-style foldable down to 4.35 mm open and 9.2 mm folded — the thinnest in the class in 2024 — without sacrificing the triple 50 MP camera, IPX8 or 50W wireless charging. Foldables that no longer feel chunky.
