Currently, the company claims that their Honor Magic V2 (pictured above) is the world’s thinnest inward-folding phone. It’s both thinner and lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 5 at 9.9mm, 231g., so it’s interesting how much thinner this can get!
On the Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, there’s a new post by the Honor account that claims big things (technically speaking – thin) are coming ahead with the Magic V3.
A machine translation of the social media post reads the following:
Can folding screens be thinner and lighter? 9.90mm – the thinness record maintained by Honor Magic V2 for 12 months has not been broken so far. At the same time, Honor continues to deepen its research and innovation in the field of folding screens. The ultra-thin and versatile #HonorMagicV3#, which is powered by the power of end-side AI, is coming soon! Let us witness together that Honor Magic V3 challenges the new height of folding and thinness!
Apple is also rumored to release a thinner handset at a point in the future – we reported about a possible iPhone 17 Slim a few weeks ago. It’s claimed that the iPhone 17 series will replace the current iPhone Plus variant with the iPhone 17 Slim, which will carry a slimmer design.
For those anticipating the iPhone Slim to be a new flagship model, there are some considerations to keep in mind. If the iPhone Slim is as thin as expected, it likely won’t offer an increase in battery life. The battery in the iPhone Slim probably won’t last as long as the one in the iPhone 16 Plus.
The Plus models are known for their long battery lives. However, the slim design of the iPhone Slim, which might attract some buyers, could also necessitate a smaller battery, potentially discouraging some consumers.
