Galaxy Z Fold 7 competitor confirms camera boost right before the big launch
There is a new foldable coming from Honor and it is landing just days before Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7. This one is shaping up to be a serious contender and now we are getting a clearer look at what kind of camera system it is bringing to the table. Honor is teasing the upcoming Honor Magic V5, which will reclaim the title of world's thinnest foldable phone – a title, previously held by the Magic V3 and currently by the Oppo Find N5. But let's not focus on thinness this time around (even though, let's be real, thin is in and everyone's fighting hard for those last few millimeters). What is more exciting is that Honor has confirmed the Magic V5 will feature a 64 MP periscope telephoto camera, clearing up earlier rumors that wavered between a 50 MP or 64 MP sensor. This camera will include OIS and even support telephoto macro photography, which could make it one of the more versatile shooters among foldables. That means you can look forward to clearer and more stable zoomed-in photos. Plus, with telephoto macro support, you'll be able to take detailed close-up pictures that show all the little things – perfect for capturing fine details up close.

To compare, its biggest current rival, the vivo X Fold 5, which just launched in China, comes with a 50 MP main, 50 MP telephoto and 50 MP ultra-wide setup. Meanwhile, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7, launching July 9, is expected to offer a different flavor with a 200 MP main, 10 MP telephoto and 12 MP ultra-wide. Which one will deliver the best results? That is still up in the air, but once we get our hands on these phones, we'll be able to tell for sure. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 camera: All you need to know Camera talk aside, the Honor Magic V5 is launching July 2 and it is expected to pack a huge 6,100mAh battery – just 100mAh more than the vivo X Fold 5, but way ahead of the 4,400mAh reportedly coming with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . So yeah, Honor definitely has the upper hand here in the battery department. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Battery and Charging: What to expect And, like I mentioned earlier, the Magic V5 will also be the thinnest of them all, coming in at 8.8mm when folded. Sure, the difference is barely a millimeter or two compared to the others, but it still shows how far the tech has come – a sign of how competition keeps pushing the bar higher. Under the hood, the Magic V5 is expected to run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite, the same chip expected in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and a step up from the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powering vivo's foldable. So overall, they are all playing in the same high-end space when it comes to performance, features and even design (at least on paper), which makes choosing between them that much harder. But let's be honest – in the US, the decision might already be made for you. As good as the Honor Magic V5 and vivo X Fold 5 might be in some areas, Samsung is still the only one making its foldables available stateside. So unless that changes, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will probably be the one most people end up with. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Honor Magic V5 Is The Thinnest Foldable Phone Again
The Honor Magic V5 measures 8.8mm when folded. Ben Sin If you follow Samsung Electronics on any social media platform, or if you follow smartphone news in general, you have probably seen the teasers Samsung has been throwing out over the past couple of weeks, hinting at its foldable phone being very thin. Indeed, according to very reputable leaks and rumors, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 (set to launch in New York City on July 9), is going to measure around 9mm when folded, a big improvement over last generation's 12.1mm. But it still won't be the thinnest foldable phone around, because Honor has been running its own teaser campaign showing off its upcoming Magic V5 (this one is set to launch in China on July 2), which measures 8.8mm when folded. The Magic V5 in folded form. Ben Sin In fact, I have been testing an Honor Magic V5 for the past week already, and I can vouch for the unbelievable thinness—this is a foldable phone that feels thinner than all my normal flagship phones in the hand. It's so thin, the USB-C port's edges virtually touches the edges of the frame, meaning any thinner, and the USB-C port wouldn't even fit. The phone is barely thicker than the USB-C port. Ben Sin That's all I can reveal about the Magic V5 for now, as the phone has not yet had its official launch. But this is clearly a game of teases played between Samsung and Honor, as both brands are eager to tell the world how thin their foldables are without actually revealing the rest of the phone. The Magic V5 Ben Sin But, using common sense, you can guess that the Magic V5 will ship with flagship components like the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon chip and feature a sizable battery, given the company is a pioneer of the silicon carbon battery tech. Whatever the case, the days of foldable phones being chunky bricks are over.
