In anticipation of its global debut at IFA Berlin 2024, the Honor Magic V3 has set an unexpected world record. Partnering with Guinness World Record holder Bryan Berg, the company highlighted the phone's light design by placing it atop the tallest card house ever built.
Berg dedicated eight hours to constructing the towering card structure, achieving a remarkable 54-story height using only standard playing cards with no adhesive. To cap off the feat, the Honor Magic V3 was placed on top, underscoring its lightweight nature.
A New Benchmark for Foldable Phones
Weighing just 226 grams, the Magic V3 is exceptionally light for a foldable device. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 weighs 239 grams. You can view the world record video below:
More than just a lightweight marvel, the Magic V3 also claims the title of the world's thinnest foldable phone, with a folded thickness of only 9.2mm. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, by contrast, measures 12.1mm when folded.
