Now that the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 6 are official, we've got a good idea of what the foldables scene looks like in 2024. But one addition we're expecting in the next few months is the Honor Magic V3 – the thinnest and lightest book-style foldable around – which we got to preview in an early hands-on session with the phone.
Sure, the V3 is already available in China, but soon enough it'll be our turn on these shores to experience the latest foldable. We've already been blown away by its svelte body, powerful camera mix, and higher-capacity battery than the competition – so Google and Samsung may be forced to step aside if you're shopping for one of the best folding phones.
More than just a slender foldable, however, the Honor Magic V3 is also poised for gaming with its top-tier Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 internals and ultra-thin vapour chamber cooling system. With the China-only Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 not getting a Western launch, Honor's Magic V3 doesn't look set to have much competition on the thin-and-light front... so let's get into all the ways it could best Google and Samsung's flagships at their own game.
