However, rival brand HONOR says its upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/honor-magic-v5-launch-date-3568911\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Magic V5<\/a> will be the thinnest book-style foldable phone on the market. Now, the company has dished out specific details.<\/p>\n<p>HONOR <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/detail\/5180616136198796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> that the Magic V5 will be just 8.8mm thick when folded. That means it\u2019s thinner than a pack of chewing gum or a jewel CD case (~10mm). It\u2019s also slightly thinner than the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/oppo-find-n5-review-3532296\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OPPO Find N5<\/a>, which is the current record holder at 8.93mm thick. I\u2019m guessing the Magic V5\u2019s measurement doesn\u2019t include the sizable camera bump.<\/p>\n<p>In any event, the Magic V2 was already thinner than a pen, but the V5 clearly takes things a step further. So you should definitely keep an eye on this new model if you want a book-style foldable phone that won\u2019t bulge out of your pocket or take up a lot of space in your bag.<\/p>\n<p>HONOR hasn\u2019t disclosed the phone\u2019s weight yet, but it will likely have stiff competition from the upcoming vivo X Fold 5. Vivo says its upcoming foldable phone will be lighter than the X Fold 3, which was the world\u2019s lightest foldable at 219 grams.<\/p>\n<p>The HONOR Magic V5 is scheduled to launch in China on July 2. There\u2019s no word on a global launch window just yet, but history suggests that we\u2019ll see a wider release by August or September.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
