In addition to the Magic V3, Honor announced a more affordable foldable smartphone, the Magic Vs3.

The internal folding OLED screen of the smartphone has a diagonal of 7.92 inches, an aspect ratio of 9.78:9 and a resolution of 2344 × 2156 pixels. The diagonal of the external OLED display is 6.43 inches, aspect ratio is 20:9, resolution is 2376 × 1060 pixels. Both screens support adaptive refresh rates from 1 to 120 Hz, PWM backlight dimming up to 3840 Hz, and AI Defocus Eye Protection.
The Magic Vs3 smartphone is equipped with a main 50-megapixel camera, supplemented by a wide-angle camera with a 40-megapixel sensor and an 8-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. There is also a 16MP selfie camera on each display.
The power source is a 5000 mAh battery with support for 66 W fast wired charging and 50 W wireless charging. The software platform is Android 14 with MagicOS 8.0.1 shell. Various AI-powered features are supported. Magic Vs3 is available in black (Velvet Black), white (Qilian Snow) and green (Tundra Green).
