After a long advertising campaign, Honor introduced its latest technology to the global markets thanks to IFA 2024. The company announced new products and launched the Honor Magic V3 to impress the international audience. The Honor Magic V3 received rave reviews from everyone including Sam Sung and I'm not talking about the company but it's still a funny pun.
Honor Plays With ‘Sam Sung’ Reviews At IFA 2024
In addition to the positive comments from fans, customers and visitors who visited the official HONOR booth at Europe’s popular technology trade show IFA in Berlin, Germany, the world’s thinnest inward-folding mobile device – Honor Magic V3 was named “#1 foldable” by Sam Sung. Honor took a tour of the streets of Berlin with a mobile billboard decorated with bright quotes attributed to “Sam Sung.” The billboard’s strategic route included iconic landmarks.
Sam Sung, a recruiter from Glasgow, England, and Sam Sung, a biomedical science graduate from London, England, gave their honest reviews of the Honor Magic V3. The “Sam Sung” review praised the Honor Magic V3 and you can see them below:
- “Number one on my list of foldable phones” – Sam Sung, Recruitment Specialist, Glasgow
- “This phone is much thinner and lighter than my current phone.” – Sam Sung, Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences, London
- “I can’t believe how thin it is.” – Sam Sung, Recruitment Specialist, Glasgow
- “I didn't expect it to be this light” – Sam Sung, Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences, London
- “Absolutely the best foldable phone” – Sam Sung, Recruitment Specialist, Glasgow
Honor Magic V3 Highlights
There are several factors that make the Honor Magic V3 a very interesting foldable smartphone. However, its beautiful form factor and stylish design are what make it stand out when compared to other foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. The V3 is only 9.2mm when folded, not too far from regular smartphones (those that don’t go for stylishness, of course). When opened, the phone is super slim at just 4.35 inches. It weighs just 226 grams, which makes it not uncomfortable to hold after prolonged use.
The device features a dome-shaped, octagonal camera module with a diamond-cut design for added strength and style. It uses Special Fiber material to increase impact resistance, making it 40 times stronger than typical flagship phones, while reducing the back cover thickness by more than 30%.
The HONOR Super Steel Hinge can withstand drops up to 500,000 times and is SGS Durability Certified. Additionally, the device is equipped with the HONOR Super Armor Inner Display and HONOR Anti-Scratch NanoCrystal Shield for extra protection.
