I Tested Honor's Rival to Samsung's Z Fold 7 and It's a Skinny Powerhouse

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-28 05:30:03

At only 4.1mm thick at its thinnest unfolded point, the Honor Magic V5 is incredibly skinny. In fact, the company has said it's the world's thinnest foldable measuring in just 0.1mm skinnier than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. That claim is debated -- it depends whether you include the built-in screen protector or not -- but we're almost literally splitting hairs at this point. World's thinnest or not, it's mind-blowingly svelte. Well, it blew my mind, anyway. The other foldables I've been using re

Honor’s Magic V5 foldable almost feels too thin

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-28 10:30:22

As soon as I picked up Honor’s Magic V5, I was a little concerned about its durability. The fourth generation of Honor’s Android foldable may not be massively thinner than its predecessor, but it sure feels like it. Yes, it’s built with aerospace-grade materials to make it sturdy despite its svelteness, but it’s also the first foldable I’d insist on buying a case for because goodness me, it’s thin. If you recall, the last handset in this series was the Magic V3 and no, you haven’t fallen asleep

Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest foldable yet, but that’s not why it matters

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Honor’s Magic V5 is the thinnest book-style foldable in the world, but you probably couldn’t tell. It’s just 0.1mm thinner — that’s four-thousandths of an inch — than the Oppo Find N5 or Samsung’s recent Galaxy Z Fold 7. If that’s a difference you claim to perceive, then I’m afraid I simply don’t believe you. I’ve put the V5 side by side with the Find N5 and I can barely feel the difference, let alone see i

Honor’s slim Magic V5 foldable is fun to use, minus the huge camera bump

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-10-28 10:30:00

There is a spec war going on among companies to claim the crown of thinnest foldable. Phone manufacturers are playing with fractions of millimeters to boast about their phone’s thickness. Honor is winning this race on a theoretical basis with its 8.8mm (when folded) thick Magic V5 foldable. I’m saying theoretical because there is a huge, camera-bump-sized caveat to this.

Honor's Magic V5 Boasts On-Device Live AI Call Translation for Guaranteed Privacy

"Hola! ¿Hablas inglés?" I asked the woman who answered the phone in the Barcelona restaurant. I was calling in a futile attempt to make a reservation for the CNET team dinner during Mobile World Congress this year. Unfortunately, I don't know Spanish (I learned French and German at school). And as it turned out, she didn't speak English either. "No!" she said, and brusquely hung up.

HONOR has also confirmed that it will have the biggest battery in a Flip phone. The Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition and Galaxy Z Fold 7 were the first foldable phones to offer a 200MP main camera.

An upcoming phone could offer double the battery capacity of S25 Ultra

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It’s highly likely that the phone won’t offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU. We’re seeing more and more smartphones with huge batteries thanks to silicon-carbon battery tech. HONOR recently launched the HONOR Power, which packs an 8,000mAh battery. However, it loo

An upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 rival could have the biggest battery in a Flip phone

TL;DR The HONOR Magic V Flip 2 will reportedly have a 5,500mAh battery. This would mean it has the largest battery out of all Flip foldable phones. HONOR’s rumored Flip phone will apparently launch later this month. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 offers a 4,300mAh battery, which is a small but welcome bump over last year’s model. However, rivals like the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 go even larger. It now looks like HONOR could also up the ante. Leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that the

Paul Jones / Android Authority TL;DR A Twitter user has shown that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner than the HONOR Magic V5. It turns out both HONOR and OPPO measure their foldables without the protective inner screen film. A closer look at product pages also reveals that some brands don’t include these layers when weighing their foldables.

Could the Galaxy Z Fold 7 really be the world’s thinnest foldable after all?

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR A side-by-side comparison shows that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may actually be thinner than the Magic V5. HONOR claims the Magic V5 measures 8.8mm, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 8.9mm. The unique way the company measured the Magic V5 may explain the discrepancy. When Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it impressed with a thickness of just 8.9mm. This measurement was enough to have it tie with the OPPO Find N5 for the world’s thinnest book-style folda
