Samsung is gearing up to launch a Galaxy Z Fold 7 that looks significantly thinner than previous models. However, rival brand HONOR says its upcoming Magic V5 will be the thinnest book-style foldable phone on the market. Now, the company has dished out specific details.

HONOR announced that the Magic V5 will be just 8.8mm thick when folded. That means it’s thinner than a pack of chewing gum or a jewel CD case (~10mm). It’s also slightly thinner than the OPPO Find N5, which is the current record holder at 8.93mm thick. I’m guessing the Magic V5’s measurement doesn’t include the sizable camera bump.
