Honor looks to outshine Samsung with extremely thin foldable phone

Chinese hardware brand Honor announced a slimmer foldable phone, a bid to out-design Samsung Electronics Co days before it launches its own new foldable devices. 

The phone, called the Magic V5, measures as thin as 8.8mm when folded shut, making it one of the slimmest foldable devices to ever hit the market. (Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6, announced last year, is 12.1mm when folded.) With the latest models, the form-factor has nearly reached the thinness of conventional smartphones – even while offering a tablet-sized inner display for improved multitasking and more immersive video consumption.
