Verdict

The Honor Magic3 (8GB + 256GB) is a flagship smartphone from 2021 featuring a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and a large 6.76-inch flexible OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Its main characteristics and pros include a versatile triple-camera system, with 50MP wide, 64MP monochrome (or periscope telephoto in some variants), and 13MP ultrawide lenses that offer great detail and natural colors in good light, along with fast proprietary charging for its 4600mAh battery. A key advantage is its premium build and IP54 rating for dust and water protection. However, potential cons include the camera performance suffering in low-light conditions, the phone getting warm under heavy load, and the Magic UI software (based on Android 11 at launch) lacking some polish compared to competitors' offerings.
