Reviews for the Honor MagicPad 3

80% The Honor MagicPad 3 is a professional-looking tablet with great accessories – but it's let down by a poor LCD screen
Source: It Pro
There is a lot to like about the Honor MagicPad 3, particularly its keyboard, pencil, and battery life. However, in comparison to the OnePlus Pad 3 and the iPad Pro, it does fall short when it comes to CPU power and display quality. For business use, it is an acceptable laptop replacement, provided you're not going to use it for intensive workloads or image or video editing. But it is light enough to carry around, slim enough for your average backpack, and strong enough to last well beyond the average workday.

90% HONOR MagicPad 3 Review: A Big, Beautiful Tablet That Nails the Essentials
Source: Android Headlines
Should you buy the HONOR MagicPad 3? Well, yes, actually. If it’s within your budget, you’ll hardly find a better tablet. This one offers great performance, great build quality, outstanding battery life, and a great case that you can get for it, amongst other things. MagicOS 9.0.1 is a great UI to have on the tablet, and there’s really not much we can complain about here. Yes, an OLED display would be a better option in terms of color accuracy, but the one we have here is great regardless, and 99% of you won’t really care. Yes, the cameras could be better, but that’s arguably the least important aspect of a tablet. Everything that matters here is… well, great. This is an easy recommendation.

HONOR MagicPad 3: Flagship Power With Some Compromises
Source: Phandroid
The HONOR MagicPad 3 is priced at £599 in the UK (around $800), though HONOR frequently runs promotions that drop it to £499. At launch, buyers also got the keyboard and stylus for free, which makes the value proposition much better. Without those freebies, you’re paying full price for a tablet that’s missing some features you’d expect at this price point. If you prioritize battery life and screen size above all else, the MagicPad 3 delivers. The performance is solid, the speakers are great, and that battery life is genuinely impressive. But the switch from OLED to LCD and the limited software support are tough pills to swallow. Competitors like the OnePlus Pad 3 offer newer processors and better displays for similar or lower prices. Samsung’s tablets provide longer software support, even if they cost more.

80% The Honor MagicPad 3 would be the iPad Air killer, if it wasn't for one fatal flaw
Source: Techradar
The Honor MagicPad 3 delivers a luxury Android tablet experience without the high-end price tag. Its slim and lightweight design makes it easy to take on the go, perfect if you want to watch your favorite shows on its gorgeous 3.2K screen. Pair this portability with the well-designed keyboard case and you have a tablet that’s ideal for productivity too, especially when you factor in the incredible battery life. It’s somewhat undermined by the disappointing update support, though, with just one Android upgrade and two years of security patches planned.

This Tablet's Battery Life is Ridiculous | Honor MagicPad 3 Review
Source: Tech Spurt
Now, with its enormous silicon carbon battery, one of the best bits of this slender Android tablet is that excellent longevity. You can muck about with three or four apps and stream video simultaneously and still enjoy over ten hours of action. Plus, the Honor MagicPad 3's fast charge support makes it a champion in the battery life realm. That LCD screen may not be OLED tech but it's still pleasingly crisp with respectable HDR output, and it's bright enough to use outdoors if you can avoid direct sunlight. Sadly the audio output isn't as thrilling. Despite boasting eight speakers, the Honor MagicPad 3 could use a bass and volume boost.

80% Honor MagicPad 3 review: Power, value for money and an odd omission
Source: Tech Advisor
The Honor MagicPad 3 offers good value for money considering the screen size, power and the formidable battery. Bundled in with that keyboard and pencil it’s a great offer: once those offers expire and this tablet returns to full price, it will face tough competition from the OnePlus Pad 3. I’ve enjoyed working and watching on the MagicPad 3 and while the loss of an OLED display is a shame, I think there’s enough to compensate for that. At the same time, Honor was the cheap OLED tablet of choice with the MagicPad 2; that distinction has now gone and there’s a little less to help Honor’s tablet stand out among the best tablets on offer.

100% Honor Magic Pad 3 review: A middling screen with lots of quality behind it
Source: Expert Reviews
Both the OnePlus Pad 3 and the iPad Air are better choices if you want to get the most powerful performance for your money, but neither gets you the keyboard case and stylus for as little money as the Honor Magic Pad 3. Plus, the Honor is still a nippy performer, and will likely be plenty fast for most users. Beyond that, it offers some of the best battery life of any tablet around and an impressive seven years of software support, so it will last you a good long time in more ways than one. It’s still a shame that Honor chose to revert from OLED to LCD for the display, but there’s no denying that the Magic Pad 3 offers more than enough quality to make up for it.

Honor MagicPad 3 Review After 5 Weeks: Great Tablet, But People Will Be Mad About LCD Screen
Source: ben's gadget reviews
The Honor MagicPad 3 is going to get a lot of flack. I already know -- because it offers an LCD panel after last generation used an OLED display. But to be fair, this LCD panel is excellent, gets up to 165Hz in refresh rate, and the rest of the tablet improves everywhere, including the keyboard which now has a large trackpad.
