Award Magic V5 is the world’s thin foldable phone, but the company uses a dubious method of measurement to make this claim. Now, a Korean study has revealed that recent book -style foldable phones, Galaxy Z Fold 7 ban, In fact, the claims are thick.
Enterprise Association (Via Business Korea) Recent foldable phones measured with a micrometer and found that only the Galaxy Z Folds 7 was thinner than the official claim. Samsung claims that the device is 8.9 mm thick, but the association measured it 8.82 mm.
However, rival foldable is bad news. The Association found that Honor Magic V5, Vivo X Fold 5, Xiaomi Mix Fold 4, and Huawei Mate X -6 were more thick than the original claims. The fellow X6 was more than 0.62 mm thick than the ad, followed by the X -fold 5 (0.57 mm) and the magic V5 (0.54 mm).

I will still urge you to get these results with a small pinch with salt, as the Samsung Electronics has been listed as a member of the association. However, this is not a good look for recent foldable phones. So we hope these manufacturers will go to a more user -friendly way to measure their phone.
This is not the only objectionable measure we have seen. We recently discovered that this honor, Huawei, Oppo, and Vivo weigh their foldable without these internal films. It is important to remember that when the brands argue about having a lightweight phone in the market.
