My friends and fellow villagers, I didn’t expect that just two days ago after I took you to watch the Samsung folding screen launch conference, Honor also held a press conference in Shenzhen and launched several new products.

Our familiar Honor CEO Ming Ge also appeared on the stage as usual to introduce new products to everyone.

If Samsung's folding screen was a bit boring a few days ago, then Honor's new product will definitely arouse the interest of digital enthusiasts.



Let’s talk about the latest folding screen firstMagic V3 ,Simply put, the most powerful selling point of this folding screen is still its extreme lightness and thinness, and it even breaks its own record.

Why do you say that?

Because the Magic V2 released by Honor last year broke the thickness record of foldable screen phones because it achieved an outrageous thickness of 9.9mm in the closed state.



As a result, in the following year, there was really no foldable screen phone thinner than Magic V2. . .

The Magic V3 has broken its own record, achieving an abstract thickness of 1.5mm when the folding screen is closed.9.2mm ,The weight is only226 grams.



After unfolding the screen, Magic V3 only has4.35mm 。。。



The vivo X Fold3, which was previously known for its extreme lightness and thinness, is 4.65mm thick and weighs 219 grams when unfolded, making it a comparable rival to the vivo X Fold.

Even though it is so thin and light, Magic V3 still supportsTwo-way satellite communications,Honor engineers are also considered masters of space management.



And its camera is not bad, it still gives you a50-megapixel 3.5x periscope lens,That’s quite impressive.



I don’t know why, but I feel like this looks a little familiar…

However, the thinness of Magic V3 does not affect its durability. The press conference mentioned the fiber body, impact-resistant hinges, more durable creases, diamond flexible armor, diamond giant rhino glass andIPX8 waterproofWait, just to tell you how durable it is.



But in the end, it was the working drum washing machine on the scene that convinced Tony.Because there is a Magic V3 inside the washing machine...

Remember this washing machine, you will need to



Brother Ming is still so good at creating show effects, I like it.

The main selling point of Magic V3 is that it is thin and light yet powerful, so Honor, which has always been strong in screen eye protection, continues to work hard. In addition to the basic operations such as high refresh rate and peak brightness, Honor has also made the internal screen3840Hz PWMUltra high frequency dimming.



The most outrageous thing is the external screen. This is the first time I have seen 4320Hz PWM ultra-ultra-high frequency dimming.

What's even more outrageous is that there was a person calledAI Defocus Eye ProtectionAccording to a technology developed by Magic V3, playing with the phone for 25 minutes can reduce transient myopia by an average of 13 degrees and promote choroidal thickening. . . ?



Tony is not a medical student, so I am really confused by this. Is there any friend who knows about this who can comment on it in the comments section? The technology of Honor has given me the illusion of a "medical miracle"...

The press conference also mentioned some of the well-received features of MagicOS, such asGlory Anywhere DoorThe folding screen supports the use of "double doors", which can be opened quickly on the left and right sides, making it more convenient to compare prices on different platforms.



Lingdong Capsule now also supports Meituan takeaway, and if you order milk tea and fried chicken at the same time like Tony,The Smart Capsule also supports displaying the progress of two takeaways at the same time.Double the happiness, double the weight.



Magic V3 also supports dual opening of applications. Now you can not only pretend to be two people when playing Pai Gow, but also play four sets of Mahjong by yourself, which is a bit abstract...



To be honest, Honor's press conferences always have some liveliness from time to time, which makes the hardware talk show group full of lively atmosphere. But it's actually quite good, it's always more interesting than dry speeches.

Overall, the Honor Magic V3 is still a folding screen with very strong product power.8999 NTDThe starting price is also quite attractive.

Especially the thinness of the body, which puts competitors under pressure, is something that cannot be achieved in a day or two.

If you think it's a bit expensive, there is also a "Youth Edition" folding screenMagic Vs3 ,Simply put, the image quality, thickness and weight, material and screen quality have been slightly reduced, but the price has come to a very competitive level.6999 Yuan.



But even Vs3, this9.8mmThe combined thickness and229 gThe weight is also quite good.

In addition to mobile phones, the conference also announced a tablet that many people are looking forward to.MagicPad 2 。

Why are you looking forward to it? The main reason is that its screen quality is quite good, with a 12.3-inch 3K resolution OLED screen, a 144Hz refresh rate with a maximum peak brightness of 1600nits, and the same 4320Hz ultra-high PWM dimming as Magic V3.



Just looking at the parameters, except for the fact that it is not a dual-layer OLED, all other aspects can indeed compete with the latest 2024 iPad Pro. I just don’t know how the color and contrast will look when it is actually used.

MagicPad 2 is also IMAX Enhanced certified and supports spatial audio created by AI simulated sound sources, as well as AI bass enhancement on the basis of eight speakers.



Wait, the screen is good, the sound quality is also good,Is this the new generation of iQiyi Launcher?

It can indeed be started, but Honor has also added many AI functions to the tablet, such as meeting summaries, transcription text, handwriting font beautification, call noise cancellation, etc., so that it can also provide a good user experience in office and study environments.



The only small regret is that its chip is only Snapdragon 8s Gen3, so it is not a tablet that focuses on performance.

But when I saw2999 NTDEven if you buy it as an iQiyi launcher, it is much cheaper than iPad Pro or even iPad Air. . .

Moreover, many people have concerns about the epic low-frequency dimming screen of the iPad, but Honor directly maximizes the eye protection for you, which is quite attractive.

Finally, the laptopMagicBook Art 14To be honest, this is Tony’s favorite new product in the entire press conference.



Because this computer can be said to be the best alternative to Huawei MateBook X Pro. Not only is it cheaper, it even has several selling points that Huawei doesn't have.

If you don’t know much about Huazi’s laptops, then Tony can tell you that the 2024 MateBook X Pro released a while ago is much better than the MacBook Air if we only talk about industrial design.



Not only does it have top-notch workmanship, it also weighs only an incredible 980 grams...

Similarly, as a new product line of MagicBook, MagicBook Art 14 also has excellent workmanship and exquisite appearance, as well as some designs that are not common in the laptop camp.

First of all, the weight and thickness of MagicBook Art 14 are only1.03 kg,Although it is a bit heavier than the MateBook X Pro, it is much lighter than the MacBook Air.



Its thickness is onlyOne centimeter,It's not even half the thickness of a one-yuan coin.



Oh, I'm talking about the thickness of a coin when it stands upright. Those who understand will understand.

Although it is a thin and light notebook, it actually has quite a few interfaces. In addition to the common Thunderbolt 4, USB-C and USB-A, there is also aHDMI interface...



Wow, it’s been a long time since I saw an HDMI port on a thin and light laptop. I have to give Honor a thumbs up for this.

Its screen-to-body ratio is also ridiculously high, and combined with the same ultra-ultra-high frequency PWM dimming as the Magic V3, I would like to call it a Dell XPS that is more suitable for the physique of Chinese babies...



At this point, the handsome friend would ask, with such a high screen-to-body ratio, where is the camera placed?

If you have paid attention to the "wild" Green Dart notebook we reviewed a few years ago, you may still remember some of its unique designs.

For example, this split camera hidden in the body...



You can take it out and put it on the screen when you need it, and put it back when you don’t need it. It’s a genius idea.

If you are interested in Green Dart, you can go to B Station @ Bad Reviews Hardware Department to watch the video with a million views. I guarantee you will be shocked...

Honor also uses this design, but this time it goes a step further.Not only is it better made, it can also be used on both sides!



In other words, this independent camera can be used as both the front and rear camera, which is a very good solution both from the perspective of aesthetics and practicality.

At the same time, Honor's laptops have also made a lot of optimizations to the Windows system. If you are interested, you can go offline to experience it. It does contain Yaozi's own ideas.

As for the processor, it is the normal Intel Ultra 5 and Ultra 7, so we won’t talk much about it.



The MagicBook Art 14 starts at7999 yuan,This price is considered to be quite cost-effective among mid-to-high-end thin and light notebooks.

Overall, the products launched by Honor at this conference are quite interesting, each with its own characteristics and attractive prices.

The foldable screen is extremely light and thin with good configuration and reasonable price; the tablet computer directly maximizes the screen quality; the laptop improves the workmanship and design while optimizing the software experience.

The products launched at this conference actually show that Honor is expanding its advantage, that is, its understanding of screen eye protection.



In the past, mobile phone screens protected the eyes. Now, large screens such as folding screens, tablets, and laptops also need to protect the eyes, and all parameters are ahead of their peers.

If you are a user with sensitive eyes, you really can’t avoid Honor products. . .

But after watching the press conference, I would like to ask one last question:

The drum washing machine that appeared at the beginning of the press conference was not shown again until the end of the press conference. Is the phone inside still okay now? . .
