Honor's Magic V3 can fit a tiny apology to Z Fold users on the very thin hinge
Honor is sorry that Samsung users have to suffer with such thick folding phone, so it etched a tiny apology on the hinge of it's tiny phone.
Honor is expected to launch the world’s thinnest foldable in just a few days, so the company decided to print a tiny apology to Samsung users along the hinge of its own very thin folding phone.
That's a bold move.
They'd better make sure the phone holds up and doesn't break within half a year or something.
The only foldable phones I have seen in the wild are new ones, and ruined ones. They all seem to end up horrible creases, or peeling screens, or large black dots from impacts.
Cool conceptually, but the tech is just not there.
The apology reads:
Dear Samsung Galaxy Z Fold owners, we’re sorry. We know you were excited to buy a phone that folds in half and fits in your pocket, awkwardly. You were promised the future, a technical marvel, a world of boundless multitasking and performance.
And now, you’re probably looking at the new HONOR Magic V3 and feeling a little… betrayed. Size matters, and we feel your pain. Like being tipped for a gold medal and then coming last in the race, the knowledge that a thinner, lighter, and more durable foldable exists is enough to make anyone question their choices.
We get it. You were an early adopter, a pioneer bravely venturing into the uncharted territory of foldable screens with questionable durability. You deserve better. In fact, you deserve a gold medal.
In all seriousness, we at HONOR are committed to pushing the boundaries of technology and bringing you the best possible foldable experience. We’re just saying… it’s okay to feel let down. We’d feel the same way.
I'm not sure I'd buy a phone with a permanently etched message/advertisement from the manufacturer to other people.
The hand-etched apology will not appear on the company’s actual devices come global launch
Luckily the article addresses this.
Isn't that what logos are
The article seems to clearly state this is an advertising stunt where they partnered with some artist to create one model. Must be pretty nice having access to something that limited!
I see no reason why I would want to buy a folding phone. Plastic flexible screen that you can't put a screen protector on, and that eventually breaks from opening and closing enough times. What could possibly go wrong?
Could end up being a collector's model, nah.
