Honor has officially unveiled the MagicPad 3 Pro, a high-end Android tablet that aims squarely at Apple’s iPad Pro—only at a far more accessible price point. It’s also the first tablet powered by Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, signaling a major leap in mobile performance for productivity and creative workloads.
The MagicPad 3 Pro features a 13.3-inch IPS LCD panel with a 3200×2136 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate, and 1,100 nits peak brightness, offering sharp visuals and ultra-smooth scrolling for both work and entertainment. Honor’s MagicOS 10, based on Android 16, brings improved multitasking with a desktop-style window management system, allowing multiple apps to float and resize freely across the screen. The company also promises seamless integration with accessories like the Magic Pencil 3 stylus and a magnetic keyboard case with a built-in trackpad, both sold separately.
Under the hood, the tablet packs up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, paired with a massive 12,450 mAh battery supporting 66W fast charging. Despite that, it remains impressively sleek at just 5.79mm thin and 595g light. Camera hardware includes a 13MP main sensor, 2MP macro, and a 9MP front camera for video calls. The aluminum body comes in white, gold, and gray finishes—a clean, minimalist design language clearly positioned to appeal to productivity-focused users.
Pricing in China starts at CNY 3,799 (around $533) for the 12GB/256GB version, rising to CNY 4,699 ($659) for the top-tier 16GB/512GB model. That makes it roughly half the price of Apple’s latest M5-powered iPad Pro, while still offering flagship-level hardware and display specs. There’s no word yet on global availability, but given the tablet’s mix of power, price, and portability, it could be one of the most compelling Android alternatives to Apple’s ecosystem if it goes international.
