Honor’s foldable phones have always stood out for their tough build. The company loves to put them through extreme tests. The idea is simple: if they can survive these wild situations, they can handle everyday life. As the Honor Magic V5 gets ready for its big launch, the brand decided to show off its strength. The result? A new world record and a spot in the Guinness Book.
Honor isn’t shy about making a statement with its Magic V5 foldable. We’ve already seen this phone handle heavy rain. It also came out fine after sitting in very hot and cold places. They even shot steel balls at it, and it kept going. Now, the Magic V5 has pushed the limits even further. It just set a new Guinness World Record, cementing its durability for all to see.
Setting a New Standard for Durability
The Honor Magic V5 officially set a Guinness World Record for the heaviest weight lifted by a foldable phone while hanging. According to the official record, this smartphone managed to lift an astonishing 104 kilograms. To pull this off, they tied an 84 kg refrigerator to the phone. Then, they added 20 kg of heavy plates. Everything was fastened to the center of the Magic V5 using a fabric strap. This incredible feat was all about showing off the strength of its “Super Steel Hinge.”
This special hinge can also endure up to 500,000 folds. Honor reports that the hinge has a tensile strength of 2300 MPa. These numbers are a big step up from what most other companies offer. It’s a solid promise that the phone will last a very long time.
Beyond the Hype: Core Specs
The Honor Magic V5 comes packed with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It features a large, flexible 7.95-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen. On the outside, there’s another 6.43-inch AMOLED display. Powering the global version is a strong 5,820 mAh battery. For photos, it has a triple rear camera setup. This includes a 64 MP periscope telephoto sensor. Despite all this tech, the foldable phone weighs just 217 grams. When you fold it closed, it measures a slim 8.8 mm thick.
Honor’s latest phone is almost ready to hit the global market. Soon, users can see for themselves how true these claims are. We expect the company will share even more impressive features before its official launch date.
While lifting a refrigerator might not be a common task for most phone users, this achievement speaks volumes. It undeniably proves the sheer toughness of the Honor Magic V5. This extreme test clearly shows what buyers can expect from this foldable smartphone. It truly lives up to the sturdy reputation Honor has built over the years.
