Would you like a thinner Galaxy Z Fold 7 that can last longer? Honor’s next foldable has all that and more

Honor is one of the many Chinese companies that are trying to find their way in an ever-expanding smartphone market. Its foldable are already beating some of the most popular brands on the market, such as Samsung and Huawei, in many aspects.

One aspect that Honor has been among the best in the world is design. The Magic V3 was the world’s thinnest foldable smartphone when it launched last year. The foldable is just 9.2 mm when folded, which seems incredible considering that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 12.1 mm thick.

Now the world’s thinnest foldable phone is Oppo’s newly unveiled Find N5, which measures just 8.93 mm. But this won’t last for too long apparently, as Honor plans to regain the title for the world’s thinnest foldable with its next device, the Magic V4.

But the Magic V4 won’t beat the Find N5 at design only, performance will be another factor where Honor’s foldable is expected to be better. For the unaware, the new Oppo Find N5 is equipped with a downgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that only features 7 cores. The standard version of the chipset that most flagships use these days has 8 cores.

After speculation ran rampant on Weibo (via PhoneCnmo) that Honor’s upcoming Magic V4 will pack the same downgraded version of the chipset to remain ultra-thin, Honor’s flagship mobile phone product manager, Li Kun, denied these rumors and confirmed their company only uses full-fledged versions of flagship chipsets.
