HONOR has launched its latest flagship tablet — the MagicPad 3 — in China, taking the wraps off a device that combines powerful hardware, a premium display, and intelligent battery features.

HONOR MagicPad 3: Specifications
The MagicPad 3 features a large 13.3-inch LCD display with a 3.2K resolution (3200 x 2136 pixels) and supports an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 30Hz to 165Hz — the highest in the segment. With a peak brightness of 1000 nits and a 91% screen-to-body ratio, the panel also includes advanced eye protection tech like AI defocus for strain relief, motion sickness reduction, and dry-eye friendliness, all designed for extended use.
Under the hood, the tablet is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage. It runs on MagicOS 9.0.1 based on Android 15, ensuring a refined software experience with performance optimizations tailored for tablets.
HONOR has equipped the MagicPad 3 with a massive 12,450mAh battery, supported by the brand’s in-house E2 energy efficiency chip and the AI-based Dujiangyan power management system. The company claims up to 18 hours of offline video playback and 11 hours of online meeting time on a full charge. It supports 66W HONOR SuperCharge fast charging via USB Type-C.
