[Gearbest Technology]This October, the battle for flagships in the smartphone market is fierce, with new products equipped with Qualcomm’s fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition flagship chip being unveiled one after another. In the tablet market, it is relatively quiet, because in the past few years, compared with mobile phone products, the pace of tablets equipped with flagship processors has often been several months or even more than half a year slower.
This year, this situation has been rewritten by Honor. Honor MagicPad3 Pro has become the world's first tablet equipped with Qualcomm's fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition flagship chip. Together with the Magic8 series, it forms Honor's “one door, two extremes”. This situation is also expected to strongly promote Honor's share in the high-end tablet market and become the first choice for office creative users. Next, let us take a look at how Honor MagicPad3 Pro performs.
In terms of appearance design, Honor MagicPad3 Pro is inherited from the previously released Honor MagicPad3. Maintaining the size of 13.3 inches, the overall thickness of 5.79mm, and the weight of 595g, the overall body creates a thin and light feel. The floating gold color of Honor MagicPad3 Pro adopts a new gilt rubbing process, which makes the metal back panel show a bit of starlight feeling, and also has a frosted texture to the touch, which is more textured than a traditional metal body tablet. Of course, thanks to this process, the entire backplane is very resistant to fingerprints, and almost no fingerprints can be seen when using the bare metal.
Let’s look at the screen of Honor MagicPad3 Pro. 3K resolution, 1.07 billion colors, 165Hz screen refresh rate, 1100nit peak brightness, and Honor’s 8 Oasis eye protection technology also maximize the screen quality. In addition, the industry's first PC-level Q-Sync technology realizes complete alignment of screen refresh rate and frame rate, making the picture smoother.
Judging from this newly upgraded configuration, if you are a tablet game enthusiast, the gaming experience of Honor MagicPad3 Pro will be more suitable and smoother. For office creative users, on the one hand, it is smooth, and on the other hand, the eight eye protection capabilities also make daily office use more eye-friendly, and it is more secure to use in the face of high-intensity work.
In fact, I also used Honor MagicPad3 Pro to compare the Honor MagicPad3 released this year. The main difference between the two is performance and system, which is also the point of Pro. So when you are wondering how to choose between the two, if you focus on the ultimate performance output, you should choose Pro first. If you focus on high quality and price, then Honor MagicPad3 is enough. After all, the system can be upgraded to MagicOS 10 later.
In terms of performance, Honor MagicPad3 Pro debuts the fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition flagship chip, leading the tablet industry for half a year. Such a fast-paced launch has also created unique market competitiveness. The fifth-generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition adopts TSMC's 3nm N3P process and a full-core design. The CPU performance is improved by 20%, the GPU performance is improved by 23%, and the NPU performance is improved by up to 37%. In terms of running scores, the Honor MagicPad3 Pro scored as high as 4,264,514 points on AnTuTu at room temperature, which is more than 1 million points ahead of the previous industry leader. It is a well-deserved industry leader.
Higher running scores naturally represent stronger performance and better gaming experience. We also tested its frame rate performance in “Genshin Impact”. The average frame rate of “Genshin Impact” in 30 minutes of actual testing can reach 119.7fps, which is a very eye-catching performance. Of course, the highest image quality in the game in our test environment is not enough. If we directly turn on the frame rate enhancement and image quality enhancement of the Honor Phantom engine, the resolution and frame rate of “Genshin Impact” can reach 1620P + 120 frames, or 2136P + 60 frames.
Unlike mobile phones, which have limited space, tablets are easier to dissipate heat, which also gives Honor MagicPad 3 Pro stronger heat dissipation capabilities. With the support of Honor's ice cooling, the temperature change of the fuselage is not obvious after running “Genshin Impact” for 30 minutes. There is a warm feeling on the top of the fuselage, and there is almost no change in the temperature of the handheld part. Therefore, when playing games with a large 12450mAh battery, the time will be stretched longer and the game will be more enjoyable. It is just that playing games on such a large screen requires some adaptation.
At the system level, Honor MagicPad3 Pro is equipped with MagicOS 10, which brings multiple PC-level innovative interactions and applications, and the YOYO Assistant has been further evolved with better AI capabilities and full-brand interconnection capabilities to provide users with a more efficient experience for daily use.
Taking PC-level interaction as an example, Honor MagicPad3 Pro supports minimizing and maximizing operations on the application window, and supports centralized display of all open applications in the control bar. It also supports preview, and can quickly start and switch applications in the control bar. This is the most intuitive PC interaction logic. If you add a keyboard and mouse to the Honor MagicPad3 Pro, the entire experience will be more “computer”.
In addition, Honor MagicPad3 Pro is also equipped with the full PC version of WPS Office, which fully aligns the user experience with PCs. In this way, using WPS with a tablet is equally smooth and efficient.
In terms of interconnectivity, Honor products are currently the strongest in the industry. On MagicOS 10, iOS, Android, Hongmeng, Windows and Mac are truly interconnected. Whether it is data transfer or data cloning, Honor products have shown an attitude of embracing all brands with open arms, so that users will not feel the barriers between products and brands during use.
Summarize
Honor MagicPad 3 Pro is Honor’s latest flagship tablet product. We have seen Honor’s efforts and determination in the tablet field. It has changed the past norm of tablet performance lagging behind mobile phones in the industry. It is the first flagship new product of the fifth generation Snapdragon 8 Extreme Edition, providing users with a unique performance experience. In terms of system ecology, Honor MagicPad3 Pro is the first tablet to launch MagicOS 10, and its flagship status is clearly highlighted. With the support of the new system, Honor MagicPad3 Pro brings the most complete brand interconnection capabilities. At the same time, AI capabilities and PC-level office capabilities are further enhanced, becoming another new choice for users in creation and office scenarios, and this is also the ambition of Honor tablets. From the perspective of product iterations, compared with the previously released standard version, Pro mainly focuses on performance and system improvements, so there will not be much increase in price, which also gives users a high degree of acceptance.
