Last year, when the Honor released its Magic V3 foldable phone, he honored 9.2 mm off and 4.34 mm to be the thinnest twist in the market.
This year is claiming that the Magic V5 is “the world’s thinnest foldable”, but the recent comparative video between V5 and Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 shows that the newest micron is thin.
We can not get Honor Magic V5 in the US unfortunately, but the marketing material of the Honor claims that the ivory white way is 8.8 mm when folded, which is 0.1 mm thinner than measuring Samsung’s Z fold 7 in 8.9 mm.
There is no accurate measurement tool, but we can still have a rigorous conclusion: Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the world’s thinnest folding mobile phone.

A recent video of the regular leaker ice universe pop up on X this week, showing the magic V5-Bay-Side with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. At first glance, two devices appear about the same thickness, although.
However, a card placed on top of the phone shows that the honor device is slightly longer than Samsung. He further emphasized that by putting a ping pong ball on the card, he is going towards Z fold 7 with tilt.
At this point, we are dividing the difference of micrometer here.
They have Another comparison video This includes Xiaomi Mix Fold 5, Vivo X Fold 5 and Oppo Find N5, which seems to be more than a match of Honor.
Let’s get some caveats out of the way here.
Clever
One, the ice universe is a regular, and only appears, the leakers of Samsung products, especially its phone. So there may be some prejudice.
Two, with no broad shot or level on the table, it is not clear that the surface is actually sufficient for a proper testing.
In a comment by another X user, he claimed, “My test is very harsh. I changed the status of my mobile phone, and I have rejected the uneven desktop. You can draw the right conclusion, no matter what, without a ruler.”
To be fair, he did Post an follow -up With a digital ruler who measures the magic V5 at 8.95 mm and the Z will fold 7 at 8.79 mm.
Finally, according to its metrics of Honor, the measurement of 8.8 mm is applied only to the Ivory White variants and other colors may be thick. However, the Ice Universe claims that he tested the “white version”.
“The data comes from the Honor Lab. 8.8 mm refers to the thickness of the Ivory White model in the folded state,” says Honor’s website. “Actual data may vary depending on configuration, manufacturing processes and measurement methods.”
Dilutes as thin
We are not going to put aspirations on respect whether we are lying or not. Best of all it is true, because they go out of their own propagation, but it seems that Samsung can catch a thin crown for now.
However, when you are measuring on the micrometer outside marketing, is there really a difference?
