Last year we saw the Honor Magic V2 that measures at 9.9mm. The just-released Honor Magic V3 is even thinner at 9.2mm. However, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 is rumored to come with a 9.x thickness, which is claimed to become the narrowest foldable phone in the market.
Industry Impacts
Honor CEO, Zhao Ming, believes that the Magic V3 will prompt faster product development from other brands in the industry. In an interview, Zhao mentioned that they are eager for their competitors to catch up quickly. The company also holds the view that the newly launched Magic V3 will push other brands to accelerate their product development efforts. When asked about the possibility of the Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 breaking the Magic V3's record, Zhao Ming stated that he is not concerned about this. His main focus is on the development and definition of foldable screens and how to make them comparable to traditional candy-bar phones.
Honor Magic V3 Features and Future Plans
Zhao also noted that with the integration of the latest technologies and new materials, foldable devices could potentially offer a better user experience than standard candy-bar phones. Although he didn't confirm whether the company plans to make the Honor Magic 4 even thinner, he emphasized that Honor will make significant investments in flagship phones and use these advancements to drive the progress of the entire product lineup.
The official explained that since becoming independent, the company has been striving to find its unique position. They aim to take on challenging and meaningful tasks, remain grounded for the long term, and achieve extraordinary results. The focus has been on breaking conventional thinking boundaries. For instance, they emphasized that many people wouldn’t typically associate using a mobile phone with myopia relief and eye protection.
