- A Korean study has revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is thinner than actually claimed.
- The study also found that other recent book-style foldables were thicker than advertised.
- This comes after reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 was thinner than the HONOR Magic V5, which claims to be the thinnest foldable.
HONOR says the Magic V5 is the world’s thinnest foldable phone, but the company uses a dubious measurement method to make this claim. Now, a Korean study has shown that all recent book-style foldable phones, bar the Galaxy Z Fold 7, are actually thicker than claimed.
The Korean Consumer-Centered Enterprise Association (via Business Korea) measured a variety of recent foldable phones with a micrometer and found that only the Galaxy Z Fold 7 was thinner than officially claimed. Samsung claims the device is 8.9mm thick, but the association measured it at 8.82mm.
