Reviews for the Honor MagicPad 3

85.9% Honor MagicPad3 Review: Ingenious speakers and mega battery run time on the 13.3-inch tablet | Notebookcheck
The Honor MagicPad3 really stands out with its bright XXL screen, strong sound quality, and long battery life. That being said, the Android tablet market is really picking up speed in 2025. Read our review to find out whether the large MagicPad3 is worth its price compared to the strong competition.
80% The Honor MagicPad 3 would be the iPad Air killer, if it wasn't for one fatal flaw
Source: Techradar English
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.

Qualcomm Adreno 750: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 7340 in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and first benchmarks show that the GPU can beat the Apple A17 Pro iGPU. 

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
