Ahead of its global launch at IFA Berlin 2024, the Honor Magic V3 has achieved an unusual world record. The company teamed up with Guinness World Record holder Bryan Berg to show the phone’s lightweight design by placing it on top of the world’s tallest house of cards.
Berg spent eight hours meticulously building the record-breaking structure. It reached an impressive height of 54 stories and was made entirely of standard playing cards without using glue. The final touch was placing the Honor Magic V3 on top to showcase its lightweight design.
At just 226 grams, the Magic V3 is remarkably light for a foldable phone. In comparison, its closest competitor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, weighs 239 grams. You can watch the world record video below:
Beyond the house of cards spectacle, the Magic V3 itself has a more substantial claim to fame — it is the world’s slimmest foldable with a folded thickness of just 9.2mm. The Galaxy Z Fold 6, for comparison, measures 12.1mm thick in its folded state.
