Honor Magic V3 vs Foldable Phones: Which One Is Right for You?

Here’s the rewritten content in a unique, conversational tone:

So, how tough is the Honor Magic V3, really? We put it to the test, freezing it solid and smashing it on the ground – and it passed with flying colors. Don’t just take our word for it, though; plenty of other reviewers have tried to break it too, and none have been successful. Honor’s designers have clearly put a lot of thought into making this phone durable – and it shows.

Speaking of size, the Magic V3 is surprisingly portable when folded, measuring in at 156.6 x 74.0 x 9.2mm and weighing just 226g. That’s smaller than the Galaxy S24 Ultra (162.3 x 79.0 x 8.6mm, 232g) and the iPhone 15 Pro Max (159.9 x 76.7 x 8.3mm, 221g). If your concerns about durability or size are holding you back from getting a foldable phone, the V3 should alleviate those worries.

The real question is, is the Magic V3’s price worth it? It’s got a hefty price tag of €2,000, but you get a lot of bang for your buck – including high-quality displays (6.43″ cover display with 120Hz LTPO, 10-bit; 7.92″ main display with 120Hz LTPO, 10-bit and Dolby Vision), impressive cameras (50MP main, 50MP 3.5x periscope, 40MP ultra wide, and two 20MP selfie modules), and a massive 5,150mAh battery that supports 66W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Now, if you’re considering other horizontal foldables, you’re probably comparing it to the Galaxy Z Fold6. That phone has a lower-resolution main camera (10MP 3x tele) and a smaller battery (4,400mAh) that takes ages to charge (25W wired, 15W wireless). The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is another option, but it uses a slower Tensor G4 chipset and has a subpar camera setup (48MP main, 10.8MP 5x periscope). The vivo X Fold3 Pro is available in some regions, but it has a more serious camera and a larger battery, both of which are a cut above the competition.
