Don’t get me wrong – a slim foldable phone is the dream, but this has to improve.
In the race for the thinnest and lightest phone, we thought Samsung had fallen behind.
After all, we saw the Honor Magic V5 a month ago, and supposedly that was the world’s thinnest folding phone. The Galaxy Fold 7 was close, but not quite as thin, at least on paper.
Well, one quick reality check later, it turns out Honor tricked us, measuring the phone without the pre-applied screen protectors. However, considering that you should not remove the inside screen protector, I call this cheating (it would be fair to not include the screen protector for the outside screen in the measurement, though).
So at the end of the day, if you apply common sense measurements, the Galaxy Fold 7 turns out to actually be a tiny bit thinner, making it officially THE WORLD’S THINNEST FOLDABLE PHONE.
