Specifications Overview
The specifications of Honor’s latest tablet align with those of the Chinese variant, with the primary distinction being the storage options. The MagicPad 3 features a large 13.3-inch LCD display boasting a resolution of 3200 × 2136 and a refresh rate of 165Hz. It incorporates both dynamic dimming and DC dimming technology. Although the screen offers increased size and refresh rate, some users may find the transition from the OLED display seen on the MagicPad 2 (which can be found on Amazon.de for €441.90) to LCD a drawback.
Performance and Features
Equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, the Honor MagicPad 3 comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The Chinese version provides an option for 1TB of storage. For photography and video calls, it has a 9MP front camera, while the rear features a 13MP camera alongside a macro lens. The tablet includes 8 speakers that deliver clear spatial audio, though it lacks a headphone jack.
Battery and Cooling System
Honor has managed to fit a substantial 12,450mAh Silicon-Carbon battery into the MagicPad 3, which has a sleek aluminum body measuring just 5.79mm thick. Despite its size and battery capacity, the tablet remains lightweight at 595g. It supports fast wired charging at 66W but does not include a charger in the packaging. Additionally, it features a 13-layer cooling system, including a dual-flow vapor chamber to enhance thermal efficiency.
Software and Connectivity
Running on MagicOS 9 based on Android 15, the Honor MagicPad 3 includes various AI features, such as an AI writing assistant, AI summary tool, and AI Magic Pencil for converting handwritten notes. It can also eliminate background noise during meetings and transcribe spoken words into text in real-time. MagicOS 9 simplifies file transfers across devices, including iPhones and iPads, and supports Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity.
The Honor MagicPad 3 is offered in a single gray color with a smooth finish. In the UK, it is priced at £599, but customers can redeem a £100 discount voucher, reducing the price to £499. Additionally, early purchasers will receive a complimentary Honor Magic-Pencil 3 stylus (valued at £85.99) and an Honor MagicPad 3 Smart Touch Keyboard (worth £99).
