• 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 foldable. However, just before Samsung’s launch, HONOR stole some of the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s thunder by releasing the Magic V5. Thanks to a 0.1mm difference, the Magic V5 was able to snatch the title of world’s thinnest for itself. But after some side-by-side comparisons, some are starting to question who the real champion of thinness is.

On X (formerly Twitter), well-known leaker Ice Universe posted a video of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 next to the HONOR Magic V5. In the video, the tipster conducts a test by placing a flat card on top of both phones. Here we can see the card is angled slightly upward toward the Magic V5. When he places his finger down on the edge of the card on the Magic V5 side, we see the card lift up off the Galaxy Z Fold 7. No lift occurs when a finger is placed down on the opposite edge.
