Honor’s Magic V5 foldable almost feels too thin

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

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

This crazy thin foldable embarrasses the Galaxy Z Fold 7 even before its launch

Honor TL;DR HONOR has launched the Magic V5 and claims it to be the “world’s thinnest foldable.” The Magic V5 beats the OPPO Find N5, which previously held the thinnest foldable’s title, and will also beat the Galaxy Z Fold 7, given the latter’s rumored thickness is true. The biggest drawback of the HONOR Magic V5 is its limited availability and the low probability of its coming to the US. In merely half a decade since the first foldable phones started hitting the market, the segment has got

A Foldable iPhone Needs to Be At Least This Thin or It’s DOA

Feels like just yesterday that folding phones weren’t even a thing, and now we’re somehow drowning in a sea of crease-filled screens. If, like me, you’ve been wondering what else phone makers can offer the folding phone market that hasn’t already been done, then Chinese phone maker, Honor, may have an answer for you: thinness. The Honor Magic V5, which was just unveiled, has retaken the title for the thinnest foldable on the market, which sets a new bar, not just for Samsung—the most iconic fol

is a news editor with over a decade’s experience in journalism. He previously worked at Android Police and Tech Advisor. Honor has announced the Magic V5, which it says is the thinnest foldable phone in the world right now — though only if you ignore the raised camera module, and only for its white version. The phone launches today in China, but Honor says an international release is coming “soon.” At 8.8mm thick when folded shut, the V5 is indeed impressively thin, and beats the 8.9mm Oppo Fi
