Honor is making a bold statement ahead of the global launch of its Magic V3. The Chinese brand plans to challenge a Guinness World Record by building the tallest house of cards using the lightweight foldable smartphone as the centerpiece.
Will it win against Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 for this attempt? Let's find out.
Honor isn't just content with launching another foldable phone; it's going for a Guinness World Record. The company has partnered with Bryan Berg, a Guinness World Record holder, to build the tallest house of cards. The twist? The ultra-light Magic V3, weighing only 226 grams, will sit atop the structure.

Foldable smartphones are often criticized for their bulk, but Honor is challenging this norm. According to Gizmochina, the Magic V3 boasts a thickness of just 9.2mm when folded, making it one of the slimmest foldables on the market.
In contrast, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm in thickness, making the Magic V3 nearly 3mm thinner. This difference might seem minor, but in the world of foldable devices, every millimeter counts.
Honor has made headlines not just for its design but also for its bold marketing strategies.
The company hasn't shied away from taking jabs at Samsung, even calling the Galaxy Z Fold 6 "fat" in a recent teaser. This playful yet aggressive marketing highlights Honor's confidence in the Magic V3's design superiority.
When it comes to displays, both the Honor Magic V3 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 offer impressive specs. The Magic V3 features a 6.43-inch OLED cover display with curved edges, FHD+ resolution, Dolby Vision, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
Its main screen is a 7.92-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 1,800 nits. Samsung, on the other hand, equips the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with a slightly smaller 6.3-inch external screen and a 7.6-inch primary screen, both featuring an LTPO AMOLED 2X panel with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits.
In terms of performance, both phones are powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, ensuring top-notch speed and efficiency. The Magic V3 edges out in memory, offering up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, compared to Samsung's 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
Battery life is another area where Honor outshines Samsung. The Magic V3 is equipped with a substantial 5,150mAh battery, supporting 66W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging.
In comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a smaller 4,400mAh battery with only 25W wired and 15W wireless fast charging. For users who prioritize battery longevity and fast charging, the Magic V3 offers a clear advantage.
Honor's Magic V3 is more than just a competitor in the foldable smartphone market; it's a statement. With its record-breaking ambitions, ultra-slim design, and powerful specs, the Magic V3 is set to challenge Samsung's dominance.
While Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 remains a strong contender, especially with its impressive display technology, Honor's innovative approach is on another level. It's even lighter than the S24 Ultra if you are curious.
