Honor launched its new Magic V3 The foldable smartphone of today. However, it is not the only foldable that the company has launched. They have also introduced the Magic Vs3, which is a watered-down version of the Magic V3. It has cut costs in some areas but still manages to maintain great highlights. Let’s explore the new foldable phone in depth below.
Slim and foldable smartphone
The Magic Vs3 has a different look than its elder brother, the Magic V3. Instead of a circular camera module, the Magic Vs3 has a striking box-shaped cutout at the back. It has a unique and bold look. Being a foldable device, it has two displays. Both the inner and outer panels have thin bezels that give it a modern look. Also, the outer display is slightly curved, which gives it a premium feel.
The main highlight in the design department is that this is an incredibly thin and light foldable smartphone. It is just 9.8 mm thick when folded and 4.65 mm when unfolded. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 12.1 mm thick when folded and 5.6 mm thick when unfolded. The Magic Vs3 therefore stands out with its slim body. It also weighs 229 g, making it lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Color options for the Honor Magic Vs3 include Velvet Black, Qilian Snow, and Tundra Green.
