HONOR has decided to poke some fun at Samsung over its brand new foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is thinner than its predecessor, but it’s nowhere near the HONOR Magic V2.
HONOR decided to poke fun at Samsung over the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s thinner design
HONOR shared an image you can see below via its official X account. You can see the Galaxy Z Fold 6 posing next to the HONOR Magic V2. The caption reads “thinner design, but not the thinnest”.
HONOR also says “Fold, but don’t settle”, while adding that the HONOR Magic V2 is “still light-years ahead in the galaxy of foldables”. What’s interesting is that HONOR’s next-gen foldables, the HONOR Magic V3, is coming tomorrow, and it will be even thinner than the Magic V2.
For comparison’s sake, the HONOR Magic V2 is only 4.8mm thick when unfolded, and 9.9mm thick when folded. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 5.6mm when unfolded, and 12.1mm when folded.
That thickness in the folded state is quite noticeable, both when compared via an image, and when you’re actually holding the devices. HONOR spotted an opportunity to promote its product, and this is the result of that.
The HONOR Magic V3 is coming tomorrow
The HONOR Magic V3 will become official tomorrow. It’s possible it already did by the time you’re reading this. It will be both thinner and lighter than its predecessor, pushing the ante even further up.
Vivo also launched some foldables that are thinner than what Samsung has to offer. The Vivo X Fold 3 measures 4.7mm when unfolded, and 10.2mm when folded. The Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, on the flip side, is 5.2mm thick when unfolded, and 11.2mm when folded.
Xiaomi will announce the Xiaomi MIX Fold 4 later this month. That device is also rumored to be quite thin, though we don’t know how thin exactly. It will almost certainly be considerably thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, though, based on what the MIX Fold 3 delivered.
