Honor just launched the MagicPad 3 globally, and surprisingly, it is coming to Nepal very soon as well. The MagicPad 3 will particularly compete with the likes of Xiaomi Pad 7 when it makes it to Nepal, even though the Xiaomi Pad 8 dropped recently. From the current vantage point, the Pad 7 seems to be its fiercest competitor, even though the MagicPad 3 is superior in most aspects. Now, let’s jump into this article, where I will discuss everything about the latest Honor MagicPad 3, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.
Honor MagicPad 3 Overview
Display and Design
The MagicPad 3 has a 13.3-inch LCD panel with a 3200 x 2136 resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio. The refresh rate on this guy goes up to 165Hz depending on the content on the screen, which is higher than the Xiaomi Pad 7’s 144Hz refresh rate.
Similarly, the tablet supports HDR and has brightness that can reach 700 nits, with a 1000-nit peak in high-brightness mode (HBM). Moreover, the MagicPad 3 has a unibody aluminum alloy design, while weighing around 595 grams and measuring just 5.79 mm thick. You can find this tablet in “White” and “Gray” color options.
Performance and Software
At its core is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a high-end processor built on 4nm architecture, which was also a flagship chip just 2 years back and featured on the likes of Galaxy S24 Ultra (review) and OnePlus 12. It handles both CPU and GPU tasks more efficiently than the mid-range Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 in the Pad 7 and even better than the 8s Gen 4 you get in Xiaomi Pad 8.
With memory up to 16GB and 512GB of storage, this chipset should perform excellently in all kinds of games. From PUBG to Genshin Impact. Or even in other CPU-intensive tasks like video editing. The MagicPad 3 runs MagicOS 9.0.1 based on Android 15 and packs several AI tools, including AI writing, voiceprint noise cancellation, speech-to-text, meeting minutes, and image enhancement. It also supports PC-level file management and cross-device connectivity.
Camera and Battery
Its cameras, like on most tablets, are pretty basic. Honor has included a 13MP f/2.0 main sensor and a 2MP f/2.4 macro sensor. The front camera is a 9MP f/2.2 sensor. At least the good news is that the MagicPad 3 has a monstrous 12,450 mAh silicon-carbon battery, which should easily last 2-3 days on a single charge. And speaking of charging, this Honor tablet supports 66W wired charging.
