Foldable phones are lit at the moment and are getting a lot of attention and IMHO rightly so. We have got to the point where we can now make the choice between having a skinny slab with a 6ish-inch display or a skinny phone with two displays, one hiding away until it is needed. All the big players have one (except Apple, but trust me, it\u2019s coming). However, in this spicy but growing sector of the smartphone market, there is a lot of competition to have the best in categories.<\/p>\n

Honor have stuck to what they do best, as they proved last year with the Honor Magic V3; they have gone thin. They have (for the moment at least) the thinnest* folding phone in the world, the Honor Magic V5<\/a>, at a preposterous 8.8mm folded and 4.1 mm unfolded. Sounds good, let\u2019s have a closer look then.\"Honor<\/p>\n

However, before we dive in, I do have some admin I want to cover.<\/p>\n

This is the Global version of the Honor Magic V5<\/a>, and as such, I have not been given the full details of the specifications. I do have some limited information, and I will, of course, share what I am allowed to, but bear this in mind as you read the below article.<\/p>\n
