Let's be honest, many of us enjoy a drink. A glass of wine with dinner, a beer after work – it's woven into the fabric of social life.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the world’s thinnest foldable at 8.82mm, study finds Honor Magic V5 is 9.35mm
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 beat out the Honor Magic V5 to become the world's thinnest foldable, measuring 8.82mm. A new champion of thinness has emerged in the world of foldable smartphones, which is constantly evolving. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is officially the world's thinnest foldable phone, measuring just 8.82 mm when folded, according to a recent study. This achievement not only represents a significant milestone for Samsung's design and engineering teams, but it also sets new industry standards for premium foldable device possibilities. Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series has consistently been at the forefront of foldable technology, offering users a seamless blend of smartphone and tablet functionality. With the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung has created a device that is slimmer, lighter, and more refined than any of its predecessors or current rivals. This pushes the boundaries once more. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is noticeably thinner than its closest rival, the Honor Magic V5, which is 9.35mm thick. This is due to the Galaxy Z Fold 7's 8.82mm thickness. In the world of mobile devices, where even a millimeter can have a significant impact on ergonomics, portability, and user experience, the difference may appear insignificant on paper. This was made possible by the engineering team at Samsung by carefully optimizing the internal parts, introducing a hinge mechanism that was smaller, and using new materials. This slim profile is made possible in large part by the new hinge design. Samsung has included a redesigned "Flex Hinge 2.0" that not only makes the device lighter but also lasts longer. When the device is closed, the improved hinge mechanism eliminates visible gaps and allows for a tighter fold. Additionally, the device's lighter components help to reduce its overall weight, making it easier to use on a daily basis. Additionally, materials science has been crucial. Samsung has used ultra-thin glass and a newly developed composite backplate to keep the device durable while reducing its thickness. The use of lighter alloys and carbon fiber elements within the frame adds to the device’s strength without increasing weight.
