Honor Magic3, Magic3 Pro Features, and Specifications

The Magic3 and Magic3 Pro come equipped with a 6.76-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Furthermore, the rounded rectangular slot houses a dual selfie camera setup alongside a 3D ToF depth sensor for face unlock. Both the devices are powered by Snapdragon 888 Plus paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

On the imaging front, both Magic3 and Magic3 Pro are very similar. The Magic3 features a triple rear camera setup with a 50MP Sony IMX 766 primary sensor, 64MP monochrome sensor, and 13MP ultrawide lens. Meanwhile, the Pro model gets an additional 64MP telephoto unit with 3.5x optical zoom and digital zoom of up to 100x.

Honor has partnered with IMAX to bring cinematic video recording capabilities with support for LOG format. The said format offers video recording in a stock format ideal for heavy post-production editing. Furthermore, the 3D LUT color grading profiles help in increasing the quality of your video content.

A 4,600mAh battery backs the Honor Magic3 series. Both the devices support fast wireless charging of up to 66W and 50W of wired charging with a compatible Qi charger. Other features include an IP54 dust and water resistance rating on the Magic3 and IP68 on the Magic3 Pro. The Honor Magic3 series runs on Magic UI 5 based on Android 11.
