Recently, there has been a controversy surrounding the thickness of Honor's Magic V5 smartphone. Ice Universe claimed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is thinner than the Magic V5, despite official specs stating otherwise. To set the record straight, Honor responded with photo evidence and explanations.
Honor shared images showing that the Magic V5 measures 8.80mm when closed and 4.10mm when opened, aligning with the official specifications. Ice Universe had conducted his own test using calipers, showing slightly different results. Honor explained that the discrepancy could be due to factors such as manufacturing tolerances and measurement inaccuracies.
The company clarified that the claimed thickness does not include the inner and outer screen protective films, which can be removed. Honor emphasized that the dimensions were derived from standardized lab testing methods. Ultimately, the debate over the smartphone's thickness seems to be a matter of bragging rights, as the slight differences are unlikely to be noticeable in everyday use.
