In addition to the Magic V3which is now the world’s thinnest foldable device, Honor also announced the Magic Vs3. And while this is thicker, but also incredibly thin – down to 9.8mm when folded, in the Velvet Black colourway, and 4.65mm when unfolded. So it’s 0.1mm thinner than the Magic V2 launched last year, which was the world’s thinnest foldable to date. That makes the Vs3 the world’s second currently the thinnest foldable.

Honor Magic Vs3 is 0.6mm thicker than Magic V3, cheaper

We say this to point out that the Magic Vs3 is a cheaper option than the Magic V3, but it’s not bad either. It’s powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and weighs 229g (Velvet Black) or 231g (other versions).

The inner, foldable display is 7.92” 9.78:9 with a resolution of 2344×2156, while the cover display is 6.43” 20:9 with a resolution of 1060×2376. For both, you get 3840Hz PWM dimming and an eye-protection mode with AI defocus.
