The scene took place on August 1 in Dubai. To officially validate the record, Honor suspended an 84 kg refrigerator from his Magic V5, supplemented by 20 kg of additional weight. Assessment: 104 kilos at the end of a strap fixed directly on the smartphone. And the fold did not flinch.
104 kilos suspended from a smartphone
« Congratulations, on behalf of the Guinness World Records, this is a new record “Said Emma Brain, an official referee, visibly impressed by performance. For Honor, it is a rather original way to respond to skeptics that still consider folding phones as fragile devices. “” From the start, sustainability has been one of our priorities “Recalled Ingmar Wang, president of the Middle East and Africa of the brand.
Behind this number of strength hides the hinge “Super Steel Hinge”. Designed in a steel capable of collecting a resistance of 2,300 MPa, it would support up to 500,000 folds. Suffice to say that before using the mechanism, it would be necessary to open and close your Magic V5 dozens of times a day for years.
The rest of the technical sheet is at the expected level for a high -end model: Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 7.95 -inch flexible AMOLED screen inside, 6.43 inch external screen, 5.820 mAh battery and a trio of cameras including a periscactive of 64 megapixels. All in a rather fine (8.8 mm folded) and light (217 g) format.
With this spectacular marketing stroke, Honor especially seeks to reassure. Because despite their rise in power, folding smartphones still suffer from a reputation for fragility. Hanging a fridge from a pocket device is undoubtedly the best way to show that it can survive daily use, and more.
