Honor’s latest flagship foldable, the Magic V5, isn’t just about slim design and premium features. Showcasing its impressive design, the company has managed to set a Guinness World Record, pairing the thin design with a tough build. So here’s why this is a big deal.
Honor’s Flagship Foldable Proves Its Durability with Guinness Record
The Chinese tech giant just announced the global release date of the Magic V5. But ahead of its wider release, Honor’s flagship foldable has achieved the Guinness World Record for ‘The Heaviest Weight Lifted by a Suspended Foldable Smartphone’. The Magic V5 managed to show off its strength by lifting a 104 kilograms in weight. To recall, Samsung achieved praises for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 being thin and tough for surviving the JerryRigEverything durability test.
However, this just took things to the next level for foldable smartphones, which aren’t known for being tough. The Guinness World Records officially recognized this feature in Dubai on 1st August 2025. Honor has attributed this record to the Honor Super Steel Hinge, which it claims can withstand up to 500,000 folds even while lifting over 100 kilograms (under controlled conditions).
For those unaware, this is quite a feat since the Honor Magic V5 measures just 8.8mm thick (when folded).

For those who are looking to compare it with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, we have also covered a comparison of the two premium foldables.
