Voted by Time magazine as one of the best innovations of 2024 due to its design, lightness and ultra-durability, the equipment is coming to Latin America for the first time, with Colombia becoming the first country in the region to receive it.

HONOR has announced the worldwide launch of its flagship: the HONOR Magic V3, with Colombia becoming the first country in Latin America to introduce the device.

Officially launched at IFA 2024 in Berlin, the smartphone was recognized by Time magazine as one of the best innovations of the year, standing out for being the thinnest, lightest and most durable foldable phone yet, as well as its artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. .

What makes this device so innovative?

Design and ergonomics

HONOR Magic V3 redefines foldable ergonomics with an ultra-thin design and exceptional user experience. Measuring just 9.2mm when folded, it is positioned as the thinnest smartphone in its category.

Thanks to the careful selection of high-tech materials and advanced manufacturing processes, it reaches a thickness of only 4.35mm when unfolded, surpassing even some of the industry’s flagship phones in thickness. Plus, at 226g, it strikes the perfect balance between lightness and durability, making it very comfortable to wear all day.

Endurance

Despite its thinness, this equipment does not sacrifice its durability. Its structure is built from a special fiber, a material that is 40 times more impact resistant than other high-end phones and reduces the thickness of the back cover by 36%. In addition, the rigorously tested HONOR Super Steel hinge guarantees up to 500,000 folding cycles, and the internal screen is protected by HONOR Super Armored and a nanocrystalline anti-scratch shield, providing superior resistance to accidental drops.

With the motto “the thinner the tougher”, the phone was subjected to a series of tests to demonstrate its reliability in adverse conditions. One of the most impressive tests of the HONOR Magic V3 was in a hydraulic press, where the device faced extreme forces (video here). Thanks to the second generation super steel hinge, which has a tensile strength of 2100 MPa, it was able to withstand a force of 1150 kg.

This IPX8 certified device has also been waterproof tested by placing it in a washing machine and running it through a full wash cycle (video here). The advanced design and high-quality materials have allowed it to remain intact, proving its durability in any situation.

Camera

Equipped with the HONOR Falcon Camera System, this device redefines mobile photography by incorporating a 50-megapixel periscope camera, ideal for capturing details in long-distance scenes; 50-megapixel main camera equipped with a Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) drive, a smaller and faster component that allows fine-tuning of optical elements for fast and stable focusing; and a 40-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, useful for capturing expansive landscapes and landscapes with impressive clarity.

This camera array allows you to take sports photos with exceptional detail, while the 20MP front camera captures vibrant, energetic selfies. In addition, HONOR Magic V3 includes advanced AI-powered photography features such as HONOR AI Motion Sensing, designed to capture sharp images of moving objects, and HONOR AI Portrait Engine, which creates portraits with natural-looking bokeh effects comparable to those captured. professional cameras.

Like the HONOR 200, it includes three exclusive photography modes developed in collaboration with the renowned Harcourt Studio in Paris: Harcourt Vibrant, Harcourt Color and Harcourt Classic, offering unique styles that enhance the artistic quality of every portrait.

Autonomy and performance

Magic V3 also stands out for its autonomy. Equipped with HONOR’s third-generation 5,150 mAh silicon-carbon battery, it is positioned as a benchmark in its category, exceeding the average capacity of foldable devices available on the Colombian market, which ranges from 4,000 to 4,800 mAh. Additionally, with 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging technology, users can recharge their device in record time.

In addition, it is equipped with Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, one of the most advanced processors on the market, delivering exceptional performance. With 12 GB of RAM, it ensures smooth performance even when performing the most demanding tasks such as high graphics games or heavy applications that require high processing power.

Screen

This foldable cell phone redefines the visual experience with its 6.43-inch external screen and 7.92-inch internal AMOLED LTPO screen, both with a 120Hz refresh rate, providing a smooth, immersive and versatile experience for users.

Committed to innovation in eye comfort, HONOR goes beyond traditional solutions by integrating the world’s first AI Defocus Display technology. Designed to alleviate short-sightedness caused by short-sightedness (NITM), it uses artificial intelligence to simulate retinal defocus, helping to reduce eye fatigue.

Additionally, it includes a suite of tools focused on the user’s well-being, such as 4320Hz PWM safe dimming, dynamic dimming, circadian night viewing, and natural tone adjustment. This comprehensive approach turns your screen into a standard of vision care, even during long days of use.

Artificial Intelligence Capabilities

The device not only integrates the already mentioned artificial intelligence capabilities, but also, in collaboration with Google, expands its technology offering by offering innovative functionality. Among them is HONOR AI Eraser, a tool powered by generative artificial intelligence that makes it easy to remove unwanted objects from images, optimizing photos in seconds. Additionally, it includes a face-to-face or real-time personal translation feature that uses both screens to facilitate communication between people of different cultures, providing an intuitive and efficient experience.

It also includes advanced AI Office features developed using Google Cloud technology, such as HONOR Notes, voice-to-text tool, direct translation and automatic user identification, enhancing mobile productivity.

Given these innovative features, as well as the fact that the local foldable market remains limited, the launch of HONOR Magic V3 in Colombia marks an important milestone, positioning itself as a premium offering that will transform the mobile experience of users in the country.

“We are bringing a foldable device from HONOR’s premium lineup to Colombia for the first time, reflecting our confidence in the Colombian market and our commitment to offering a cutting-edge flagship with the perfect combination of design, AI and durability. With HONOR Magic V3, we are redefining the Colombian user experience with a next-generation premium device.“Said Camila Gutierrez, Marketing Manager for HONOR in Colombia.
