Honor has officially introduced the MagicPad 3, its latest flagship tablet that boasts a large display, powerful chipset, and AI-powered productivity tools. Despite using a previous-generation flagship processor, the device remains competitive thanks to its premium design, strong specifications, and relatively affordable price.
13.3-inch 3.2K Display: Spacious, Bright, and Eye-Friendly
One of the main highlights of the Honor MagicPad 3 is its massive 13.3-inch display with a 3,200 x 2,136 pixels (3.2K) resolution. This LCD panel features a 3:2 aspect ratio and supports an adaptive refresh rate of up to 165 Hz, making it ideal for reading, sketching, and multitasking.
Honor also equips the screen with Oasis Eye Protection Display technology to reduce harmful blue light and improve visual comfort. The display supports HDR with up to 1000 nits peak brightness, ensuring clarity and brightness in any lighting condition.
In 2025, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Chipset will still be strong.
Although it doesn’t use the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, the MagicPad 3 is powered by the still-powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm’s flagship chip from 2023. It comes with up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal storage, making it more than capable for heavy multitasking, video editing, and gaming.
A 13-layer cooling system with a heat dissipation area of over 38,000 mm² ensures stable performance. These features position the MagicPad 3 as one of the best Android tablets of 2025 in the affordable flagship segment.
12,450 mAh Battery & 66W Fast Charging

With 66W fast charging, users can recharge quickly. AI-based Power Management and a dedicated Honor E2 efficiency chip also help maintain battery health for up to 1,000 days of active use, making it a long-term reliable device.
Comprehensive Productivity and Multimedia Features
The MagicPad 3 was designed with productivity in mind as well as enjoyment. It supports the Magic-Pencil 3 stylus and a smart magnetic keyboard. The keyboard features a glass touchpad and 1.6 mm key travel, offering a laptop-like typing experience.
