Editorial report
Honor Magic 3 8 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The Honor Magic3 suits anyone looking for a large display and broad connectivity, although at 203 g it is heavier than most phones of its time. Its 6.76-inch OLED display pairs a 120 Hz refresh rate with 456 ppi; both that density and its 94.9% screen-to-body ratio are among the best of its era. HDR10+ and Always-On Display add useful screen features.
The Snapdragon 888 comes with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. Its AnTuTu score of 898,700 is among the best of its time, and the storage capacity is higher than most phones offered. Connectivity is a particular strength: the Magic3 supports 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, NFC, USB 3.1 and dual Nano-SIM. Its camera setup also stands better than most. The 50 MP main sensor measures 1/1.56″, alongside a 13 MP ultrawide camera. However, its f/1.9 aperture is dimmer than that of most phones of its time, and optical image stabilization is absent.
The 4,600 mAh battery supports 66 W charging, a higher power rating than most phones of its era. Android 11 and Google Services are included, but the phone does not receive direct OS updates. With a NeoScore of 6.7, the Magic3 is a compelling choice for buyers who prioritize the display, connectivity and fast charging, provided its weight and camera limitations are acceptable.
