One of the thinnest foldable phones set for global debut next month

Last month, Chinese tech company Honor added the Magic V3 to its lineup of foldable phones. It initially launched just in China, but Honor promised that would soon change. Now, we have a date for its global debut.

The global debut of the Honor Magic V3 is set for September 5 at IFA

Honor revealed that the global version of its book-style foldable, the Magic V3, will make its debut on September 5 in Berlin at this year's IFA, one of Germany's oldest industrial exhibitions. Alongside the Magic V3, the company will also introduce its next-gen tablet, the MagicPad 2, and the new MagicBook Art 14 laptop.

The spotlight at the event will undoubtedly be on the Honor Magic V3. This foldable phone is among the thinnest around, measuring just 4.35mm when unfolded and only 9.2mm when folded. For comparison, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 5.6mm thick unfolded and 12.1mm folded, while the recently unveiled Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold comes in at 10.5mm folded and 5.1mm unfolded. So, clearly, the Magic V3 stands out as notably slimmer than both of its main competitors.
