Reviewing the Honor MagicPad 3 13.3, a more affordable premium tablet if your budget can't stretch to iPad Pro or Samsung's Ultra tabs. I've been testing the gaming performance, battery life and other bits, so here's my verdict on the Honor MagicPad 3. 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. Performance is another highlight, with the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 still proving it's a warrior for gaming. The Honor MagicPad 3 isn't the best for UI and features, however. I'd prefer a OnePlus tablet, with the OxygenOS setup and Open Canvas design for multi-tasking. That's my review of the MagicPad 3 by Honor, a 2025 battery hero.
