As Samsung this week launched its somewhat disappointing latest foldable generation, Honor has now unveiled its Magic V3 flagship, the new thinnest foldable smartphone.

Yeah, I measure the thickest part of the phone to determine how thick it is. The camera bump is part of the phone.

I can't just measure my toenail thickness and claim I am 1mm thick, with a body bump

Well, you are not expected to grip around the lens, you don't want to smudge the lens anyway. Hence the lens' thickness is not that relevant day-to-day, while I do agree that it can still be relevant in certain cases.

It would be relevant if you're trying to put it in your pocket.

[–] vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago

it doesn't matter where you grip it from. Phone thickness is not dependent on you, the user, just its actual dimensions. Thin it is not

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 months ago

Cool...is it durable though? I suspect not.

[–] jaxiiruff@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

why are rear cameras on smaller company phones so hideous.

[–] Klystron@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

It's pretty awful but since it's centered it at least helps with it being kinda flush while laying on the desk. My fold 5 camera is so fucking big and off to the side of rocks like a mother anytime I have it like that.

[–] j4yt33@feddit.de 3 points 4 months ago

I don't care how thin it is, I just want one that I can actually afford
