Honor is gearing up to unveil a new flagship tablet that promises to push Android performance to new heights. The MagicPad 3 Pro 13.3 aims to be the most powerful Android slate yet, packing top-tier silicon and a high-refresh display into a sleek chassis.
First tablet with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — and a massive benchmark
According to leaks and official teasers, the MagicPad 3 Pro will be the first tablet to ship with Qualcomm's flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Early benchmark results are eye-catching: the device reportedly scored over 4.2 million on AnTuTu, with a peak result of 4,302,345 — numbers that push it ahead of most Android tablets and rival premium phones.
For context, Honor's Magic 8 smartphone, which uses the same chip, also recorded AnTuTu scores above 4 million last month. That performance jump signals a stronger focus on raw power and sustained performance in Honor's tablet lineup.
Specs that match the hype
Honor's official imagery and leaks hint at a well-rounded hardware package:
- Display: 13.3-inch panel with a 165 Hz refresh rate (rumored resolution: 2136 x 3200 pixels)
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5
- Cameras: Dual rear cameras with a 13 MP primary sensor
- Battery and power: 12,450 mAh battery plus an E2 power management chip
- Software: Expected to ship with MagicOS 10
- Colors: Official art shows the Pro in two finishes
High refresh, a large high-res screen, and flagship silicon make the MagicPad 3 Pro an attractive option for gamers, creators, and anyone who wants a premium Android tablet experience.
There’s also a compact option
Honor isn't just launching the Pro. The company will also introduce a smaller MagicPad 3 model with a 12.5-inch 165 Hz display. That variant is said to support stylus input and will be offered in three colors, giving buyers a choice between raw performance and a more portable, pen-friendly experience.
What this means for the tablet market
Imagine a tablet that can handle intensive gaming, heavy multitasking, and content creation without breaking a sweat. With the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 onboard, Honor may have closed the gap between flagship phones and premium tablets in terms of CPU/GPU muscle. The large battery and energy-management chip suggest the company is balancing high performance with real-world endurance.
Official pricing and regional availability are still pending, but if Honor can price the MagicPad 3 Pro competitively, it could become a compelling alternative to other high-end Android and even some iPad models.
Stay tuned: Honor is expected to announce the MagicPad 3 Pro 13.3 on October 15, and more full specifications and pricing should arrive at launch.

Is this even true? 4.2M+ feels like phone numbers, marketing can inflate AnTuTu scores. Also curious about price, if it's premium then why not better cameras? hmm

Wow 4.3M on AnTuTu? insane. A 13.3 165Hz tablet with that battery sounds like a gaming beast, but pls tell me thermal throttling is solved... if not it's useless tbh
