The Ultra-Thin Honor Magic V3 Gets Dissected on Video
The Honor Magic V3 has earned the title of world's slimmest foldable smartphone while still boasting a respectable battery capacity. Curious about how Honor pulled this off? The YouTuber WekiHome decided to delve into the gadget's unique construction, performing a complete teardown and revealing the "inner world" of this new device.
One standout feature is the wireless charging coil, measuring a mere 0.25mm thick. According to the video, the metallic shield protecting the motherboard is also incredibly thin. Removing it provides access to the camera module, which Honor didn't skimp on – it's even larger than the one found in the HUAWEI Mate X5.
The motherboard itself boasts a thickness of 0.55mm and hides an unconventional charging port underneath. This port, lacking a traditional metal housing, allowed Honor to reduce its size without sacrificing functionality.
Further slimming down the phone, Honor incorporated cutouts under the speakers within the frame, and the SIM card tray sits at a mere 1.6mm tall. Additionally, the batteries lack pull tabs for easy removal, meaning replacing them requires dissolving the adhesive first.
WekiHome also measured the thickness of the phone's frame beneath the batteries, finding it to range from 0.17mm to 0.57mm of aluminum. He noted that the hinge is more compact compared to the previous model.
The YouTuber concludes that while the company didn't utilize any revolutionary technologies, they did achieve excellent optimization in the design. This allowed them to reduce the thickness of key components without compromising the phone's overall durability.
