Honor launches the 'world's thinnest' foldable
Briefly

The Magic V5, announced by Honor, claims to be the thinnest foldable phone at 8.8mm, notably thinner than Oppo's Find N5. However, this measurement only applies to the 'Ivory White' version, as other colors are slightly thicker at 9mm. A significant factor in the perceived thickness is the pronounced triple rear camera module that extends further than Oppo's, complicating its claim to be the thinnest. The phone's frame measures 4.1mm when open, just beating Oppo's 4.2mm, but not matching Huawei's 3.6mm from its Mate XT.
