Honor Unveils Magic 3 Series
Honor has unveiled three new devices following its split from Huawei, the Honor Magic 3, Honor Magic 3 Pro and the Magic 3 Pro Plus.

It has already released a few devices including the V40 5G, the H50 and the Honor Band 6 and now the Honor Magic 3 series.
The Honor Magic 3, Honor Magic 3 Pro, and Honor Magic 3 Pro Plus share plenty of features including a curved 6.67-inch OLED screen (2,772 x 1,344, 120Hz refresh rate), a 4,600mAh battery, 66W wired charging, Google support, and the Magic UI 5 skin.

The company has also added a color temperature sensor to the rear camera system. The 13MP front-facing selfie camera is also joined by a 3D ToF camera for 3D face unlock.
Honor has added a so-called Nano Crystal Shield to the screen, claiming a 3x improvement to durability for drops and also introduced an IP68 rating here for an even more durable design.
