two of the best folding with a difference of 500 euros that may be the key

by

Now that Samsung has presented its new generation of folding phones, it is a good time to compare them with their competition. In this article we are going to put face to face the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra together with him Honor Magic V6. The differences between the two folding Screens, design and dimensions The two mobiles have very similar dimensions with a variation that is minimal, in practice it is not appreciated. Where we are going to see a clear difference is in the back, since the Honor mobile stands out for its camera module that occupies a large part of the back half of the mobilewhile the Samsung folding maintains the design seen in previous generations with a more discreet module. We also did not find major differences in the size of the exterior or folding screens. Where we do perceive a difference is in the brightness of the interior screen: the Honor Magic V6 offers up to 5,000 nitswhile the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra stays at 3,000 nits. RAM and storage configurations When choosing one of the two phones, we will have several internal storage configurations available. The Samsung foldable has three configurations: 256 GB of storage and 12 GB of RAM. 512 GB of storage and 12 GB of RAM. 1 TB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. The Honor folding has two configurations: 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. 1 TB of storage and 16 GB of RAM. With this we have to The Honor mobile starts with a superior configuration. The extra storage is good for storing photos, videos and files, while the extra RAM is ideal for processing AI locally. main chambers The two devices have quite a few differences between their cameras, at least in those of the rear module: The Samsung mobile offers a higher resolution in the main chamber (200 MP), allowing you to make cuts in the photo while preserving more detail. On the contrary, the Honor mobile has a larger aperture (f/1.6), so it lets a little more light pass through to the sensor. The Samsung wide angle has a greater opening (f/1.7 versus f/2.2), allowing more light to be captured and performing better in unfavorable conditions, such as when taking photos at night. The Honor mobile has a telephoto lens with higher resolution (64 MP) than Samsung’s telephoto (10 MP), thus allowing greater sharpness in long-distance images. In addition, the Honor mobile supports a digital zoom of up to 100x. Battery and fast charging The battery is important in this type of mobile, especially if we use the internal or folding screen a lot. Samsung is betting on a dual 5,000 mAh battery, while the Honor foldable has a 5,000 mAh battery. 6,660 mAh. Until we can test the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra thoroughly we will not be able to draw conclusions, but it is difficult: when we analyzed the Magic V6 it gave us approximately three days of autonomy with average use, something it achieves thanks to the optimization of the system. In any case, where we do see a very clear difference is in the charging power. The Honor mobile supports a 80W fast wired charging and 66W wireless charging, while the Galaxy Fold supports 45W wired fast charging and 20W wireless charging. Prices The two phones start at quite high prices, but the Honor has something in its favor, and that is that it was launched a few weeks ago, so we can see better discounts than on the Samsung phone. While the Honor Magic V6 It can currently be purchased for a price of 1,699 euros In its 512 GB configuration, the Samsung Galaxy Fold8 Ultra will be launched at a price of 2,199 euros in the 256 GB configuration. However, the Samsung mobile is on pre-sale. Some stores (not all) are offering some discounts for pre-purchase, so you can reserve something cheaper. In any case, it is not as cheap as the Honor mobile. Which folding mobile phone to choose?

the top, the young man and the great rival of the folding iPhone

by

Samsung has introduced its new Galaxy Z series: Fold8, Fold8 Ultra and Flip8. It is not a hierarchy from high-end to low-end, but three different ways of understanding a foldable, each one aimed at a specific type of user. Fold8 For those who want a foldable designed above all for consuming content: its screen is adapted to video, reading and networks, with a lighter body than the rest of the range. Fold8 Ultra for those who prioritize productivity and a top camera. It is the thinnest foldable launched by Samsung and its 8-inch screen allows you to work on several applications at the same time. Flip8 for those who prioritize being able to carry their cell phone in their pocket, no matter how small it is, and the lifestyle. Also for those who prefer not to open their phone if it is not necessary: ​​its external screen has been redesigned to be able to do more with it and not have to unfold it. We remind you that the members of Xataka Xtra can access discounts, benefits and exclusive opportunities in the Samsung online storein addition to exclusive raffles, a private Discord server and a growing catalog of discounts and advantages on digital services. You can join the community for only 30 euros per year. In detail. The difference between Fold8 and Fold8 Ultra is not only in range but in screen proportions. And therein lies the key to who each one is for. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8. Image: Samsung. The Fold8 It has a 4:3 interior screen, more square than elongated. Samsung explains that this format imitates the proportions of a magazine or a book: it is comfortable for reading, watching vertical or horizontal video and browsing, but it is not designed to have two or three apps open at the same time. On the outside, its 10:16 screen is the narrowest in the range, ideal for using it folded like a normal mobile phone. At 201 grams it is the lightest Fold, and it has a 50 MP dual camera, enough for everyday use, although it is not the best. It is, in short, a foldable built to consume content comfortably, not to work on it. And it is, coincidentally, the same form factor that has been leaking for months on Apple’s first foldablescheduled for a month and a half. Samsung doesn’t say it like that, but it has come first with a design that so far no one else has released in that exact format. At least in Spain. Because Oppo had its Find Nbut not in our market. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra. Image: Samsung. The Fold8 Ultra reverses that logic. Its interior screen grows to 8 inches, large enough to divide it into several windows and work with two or three applications at the same time, something that the normal Fold8 does not offer with the same comfort due to its more elongated shape. In exchange, it weighs more, 215 grams, and includes a 5,000 mAh battery and an expanded graphite cooling system to withstand long workloads: editing, multitasking, content creation… Its main camera jumps to 200 MP with HDR, designed for those who need the best possible results. It is the same screen size as a Fold8, but with the hardware aimed at producing instead of consuming. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip8. Image: Samsung. The Flip8 plays in another league different: It does not compete in interior screen size with either of the two, because its beauty lies in folding up to fit in a pocket. At 6.1 mm thick, it is the thinnest Flip that Samsung has ever launched, and its differentiator is not the main screen but the exterior FlexWindow, now converted into an interface with its own AI: it allows you to respond, consult information or launch actions without opening the mobile. It is the foldable designed for those who use their cell phone in short bursts throughout the day, not in long sessions. Yes, but. The Fold8 is not the flagship. That role is maintained by the Ultra: more battery, better camera, and larger screen. Anyone looking for “the most powerful folding Samsung” should not look at the passport format model, but at the Ultra. Samsung takes a risk here that it does not usually take: launching three folding devices at the same time means that they compete with each other for the same buyer, not only with the rest of the market. And now what. The three models are already in the reservation period in some markets. Samsung has not confirmed prices yet. Each purchase will include six free months of Google AI Prowith 5 TB of storage.

Folding bicycles are the market niche to be exploited. And there is someone who knows this better than anyone: Lidl

by

Leave the house, get on the bike, take a train, get back on the bike and get to work. This is what is called intermodal mobility, in which two or more means of transport are taken to reach a destination in the shortest time possible in the most efficient way possible. It is everyday life for thousands of European citizens and it is, without a doubt, one of the big bets of governments and city councils throughout our continent. Because burning liters of fuel loaded into a five-seater vehicle that occupies more than four meters in length and more than one and a half meters in width is, of all things, less efficient in a city. In that work for intermodalitythe electric scooter has gained decisive weight in recent years. The boom in this product has forced countries like Spain to adapt certain regulations to assimilate its arrival. In our country, the DGT has been forced to define this vehicle as an object that You must go on the road or bike pathshaving to leave the sidewalk. The electric scooter, in fact, has overshadowed another key market niche in intermodal mobility: the folding bicycle. This means of transport is highly efficient because it allows travel to a public transport station, easy transport of the vehicle and the possibility of storing it in a very small space at our destination. At the moment, the folding bicycle is a vehicle that is still difficult to see in our cities but there are those who trust in its possibilities: large stores. From the supermarket to work There are reasons to use the electric scooter over the folding bicycle but, lately, the latter is beginning to gain in importance over the former. And the electric scooter is being banished from public transport after a handful of fires that were difficult to put out that led to severe problems in transportation in cities like Madrid. The folding bicycle is a good solution because it is usually a light product but also has the advantage of being able to fold enough to leave it in most of the jobs. It is also a good option for those who travel in a caravan but do not want to drag a large bicycle into the center of cities or towns. It is not easy to find data that clearly points to the penetration of folding bicycles because most statistics do not discriminate the data between this and any other type. Despite this, there are analysts who point out that the market is going up and that its growth will be just over 7% until 2034. The growth, point out in this reportaims to be extraordinarily high in large US cities, with increases of more than 30%. However, this is also because they are cities where car culture is still much more rooted than in Europe. Netherlands, Hapon, and Belgium They are the most repeated countries when talking about this type of bicycles. And the combination between Bicycle and public transport are very entrenched in areas where this means of transport and the train are combined daily. In fact, it is one of the reasons why The Netherlands has more bicycles than inhabitants And a good number of citizens have two bicycles that they park at the train station next to their home and another in the city where they work. In bikepormadridfor example, explain well the problems of cycling when the station is very busy and the space to travel with it is limited. And in both cases, the time it takes to find a space in the gigantic Danish or Dutch car parks and the limitations on moving them inside the car can discourage their use. That is why the folding bicycle is a very interesting alternative which has the advantage of being able to move easily, an incentive to have only one vehicle and, above all, for countries where Spain often lacks the safe and well-conditioned spaces to store bicycles yes they have them in other parts of Europe. Large stores are aware of the market niche that the folding bicycle still represents. Surfaces like Lidl either Carrefour They bet on it with options for less than 1,000 euros and Decathlon remains the undisputed leader when it comes to offering options, with bicycles from just over 200 euros to more than 2,000 euros. The true differential point of the electric bicycle is 1,000 euros and below. Figures collected by Cyclosphere they point out that the demand The number of bicycles has cooled in Spain in recent years and those focused purely on urban mobility are the ones that have fallen the most. Here, The electric scooter has done a lot of damage to the bicycle and that is why the range of less than 1,000 euros is the most interesting because when the customer spends more money they usually opt for other options such as electric, road or mountain bikes. The great advantage of the folding scooter, as we said, compared to the electric scooter is that its transportation and storage capacity at the destination is very similar but, in addition, the cyclist has the greater stability of the bicycle. A clear advantage in terms of security. But it can also be taken on public transport, a space that is increasingly closed to electric scooters.

Renfe wants you to use a folding bike when you ride the train. For this, it has announced a subscription service from 41 euros

by

Getting on a train with a scooter or one folding bike It is a situation that we see more and more in our country, especially in more crowded cities and in cases where the situation requires this convenient type of mobility. For this reason, Renfe wanted to take advantage launching a service in collaboration with the bicycle company Brompton, to promote the combo of using a bike and train on daily Cercanías journeys. The idea is to rent a folding bicycle for a monthly subscription and combine it with the train to cover the stretch between home, the station and the final destination, without the need for a car. The problem they want to solve. Using a bicycle to get to the train has the main drawback of needing secure parking for the bike, and of course many prefer to avoid what the stations offer due to the risk of theft. On the other hand, during rush hour, getting a conventional bike onto a crowded car is quite stressful, and anyone who has ever done it knows it perfectly well. A folding bicycle avoids this type of situation, and Renfe wants to take advantage of it. What is included and how much does it cost?. The subscription starts at 41 euros per month with a 12-month commitment, or 49 euros per month if you opt for six months. The package includes a Brompton C Line four-speed (intermediate handlebar), theft and damage insurance, a full annual service and home delivery within three to five working days. At the end of the period, the user can renew, return the bicycle or buy a new one at a discount. The brand also offers a bonus of 200 euros for the purchase of a new bike to those who decide to keep the model, according to they count from El Periódico. why now. Spain is the third market in which Brompton launches this subscription service, after Germany (where it premiered last year) and France, where it launched this same year. The landing in Spain makes sense: the Renfe Cercanías network is one of the densest in southern Europe and last kilometer routes without a practical solution are a widespread problem in large cities. The argument of sustainability. Renfe frame the initiative in its environmental strategy. The company claims to have reduced its emissions to 3.79 grams of CO₂ per transport unit in 2024, a figure that, according to the Spanish Climate Change Office, is up to 35 times lower than that of private cars. Replacing short car trips with bike plus train is, in this context, the natural complement to that narrative. For the end user it is a very convenient option, although in a context of fatigue due to the flood of subscriptions that many of us pay for, it can make a certain dent in the proposal. What remains to be seen. The proposal makes sense on paper, but there are some factors that must be resolved, including the number of bike racks at the stations, the reliability of the service and whether the price is attractive for those looking for an alternative and convenient type of mobility. Buying a Brompton usually means spending more than 1,000 euros, so we will have to see if the economic argument convinces enough travelers for this business model to be successful.

Xiaomi already has its own AI model for robots. At the moment, he’s great at taking apart LEGOs and folding towels.

by

It has been a long, long time since Xiaomi stopped being a mobile company. Today the company’s tentacles reach all types of sectors, from mobile and household appliances until cars, chip design and, from now on, robotics. And the Chinese company has just presented its first vision, language and action model for robotics. Its name: Xiaomi-Robotics-0. What is this about?. Xiaomi-Robotics-0 an open-source model whose code can be found in GitHub and HugginFace. As the company explains, this model has been optimized to offer “high performance, speed and smoothness in real-time executions.” We should not think of this model as an AI capable of making a robot run and jump like a human, but rather one capable of making a “simple” robot understand its surroundings and know how to make the optimal decision without, for example, destroying whatever it has in its hands. About the robots. When we talk about AI applied to robotics we are not just talking about a robot being able to move. The device must know and understand that it should not apply the same force when holding a brick as it does when holding a cat, for example. In that sense, there has to be an understanding of the visual, an understanding of what is being seen and an appropriate execution of actions: this is a brick > it is a heavy object > I have to apply more force to hold it and move it from one side to the other. Xiaomi-Robotics-0 results in the benchmarks | Image: Xiaomi The benchmarks. Xiaomi has achieved, as detailed on the project website, very good results in the benchmarks I RELEASE (measures knowledge transfer), SimplerEnv (measures performance in real simulations) and CALVIN (measures performance in tasks conditioned by language). According to the company, Xiaomi-Robotics-0 “achieves high success rates and robust results in two challenging two-handed tasks: disassembling LEGOs and folding towels.” The fun of training. Every AI model draws from a training dataset. In the case of Xiaomi-Robotics-0, a 4.7 billion parameter model, the dataset consists of 200 million time steps of robot trajectories and more than 80 million samples of general vision-language data, including 338 hours of LEGO disassembly videos and 400 hours of towel folding videos. The results. The company claims in the paper that its model is capable of disassembling complex LEGOs of up to 20 pieces, adapting the grip in real time to avoid errors, using only one hand to place the towel correctly and folding it or, if you pick up two towels from the basket, take one of them, leave it in place and fold only one. This demonstrates an interesting capacity for adaptation and learning that, although it may seem trivial on paper, has its value if we think about industrial and even domestic robots. Beyond. What this model is demonstrating is being able to adapt to complex and unpredictable geometries, such as that of a towel thrown in a basket, and to understand the, let’s say, “soft physics.” On a towel it may seem like a small thing, but let’s think about manipulating human tissues in an intervention, for example. Same with LEGOs. It’s not just disassembling them, it’s understanding the position of the blocks, how they fit together, what force to apply and at what angle so as not to break them. Let’s think about a robot that removes debris. An industrial robot has historically been programmed with fixed coordinates, that is, moving something from point A to point B. A robot with AI like the one proposed by Xiaomi would be much more versatile. The first robot learns movements, the second robot learns tasks, and the difference is a world. If we think about a distant future in which there are domestic robots, a robot cleaning dust from a shelf will not be the same as knowing how to identify objects, decorations, etc., and understanding that it must move them to avoid throwing them away and cleaning them thoroughly.

At Honor they are convinced that they are going to lead the market for folding devices. This is your plan to get it

by

“Spain is an open and very good country for foreign brands, but also very challenging due to competition and focus on low prices.” With those words he responds Laurence Li, new Honorary Country Manager for Spain and Portugalto the answer of how he sees the new market ahead. Until about four months ago, Laurence oversaw Honor’s operations in the Gulf regions from Dubai and previously led Huawei’s Consumer Business Group in Latin America. Today you have a huge challenge ahead of you. Honor has been operating for four years in our borders as an independent brand and the executive is clear about how far he wants to take it. Because Laurence Li is firm in his position: “Honor should be one of the top three consumer brands in Spain, not just a mobile brand.” Competing at the top starting with Spain Honor Magic V5 | Image: Xataka At the beginning of the year We had the opportunity to speak with Tony RanCEO of Honor in Europe, who already told us two things. The first, that Europe is going to be the second most important market for the company. The second, that it is not going to descend into the mud of the entry range and low prices, where there are hardly any margins. The company knows that the juicy segment is the high-endthe premium product, and that is where they are going to focus. All this starts in Spain, “a really good market for all Chinese and foreign brands” due to its openness. All Chinese brands have had a very good acceptance in our countryand if not, tell Xiaomi, Huawei, Omoda, Jaecoo, MG or BYD. These companies destroyed their respective markets by offering low prices and competent products, only to later make the leap to premium products once they had established themselves. The case of Xiaomi is the most obvious. Honor is going to save that step by being fully aware of it. “If you are looking for an entry-level phone with the lowest price, other brands would be a better option, to be honest. Now, if you want to buy something of quality, with innovation, that is, a good product, a product with AI, Honor will be the best alternative,” says Laurence. The firm is aware that right now its market share is what it is. The latest data They claim that Apple (27%), Samsung (26.5%) and Xiaomi (23.7%) lead the Spanish market. The fourth brand is Oppo with 5.7% and the fifth position is occupied by Motorola with 2.2%. Honor, for its part, reaches 1.3%. It would help to achieve a better position by launching cheaper products, attacking the already saturated entry range, but the firm’s strategy does not go there. Honor does not want to be a brand linked to low price, but to quality. Honor Magic V5 | Image: Xataka “Right now, people don’t change their cell phones that often. They do it every three or four years, maybe even every five. If you are going to use your cell phone for five years, you would prefer a better product and you would even pay more,” explains Li, who believes that the financing options offered by companies and retailers can help cover the expense. While the low-end market is being pushed by operators with the aim of increasing the number of 5G devices, Li says, the market for “high-end and premium” products is increasing because more and more people want good quality phones and are willing to pay more because it will last three or four years. The logic is clear. Honor’s logic is evident: the customer will be willing to pay more if they know that the product will last longer One might wonder if Laurence Li, coming from the Dubai offices and managing Honor’s operations in the Gulf; and having previously worked in Latin America, he has noticed some difference in consumer behavior. “I don’t think there’s a big difference,” he explains. Quite the contrary, he believes that there is an important similarity between the three cultures. The executive makes the comparison with cars. “In Dubai, and even here, more and more people are buying Chinese electric cars made in China.” In his own words, “more and more people want to buy innovative products and accept Chinese products (…) People want to try Chinese products, and that is a good trend.” What Laurence Li is telling us between the lines is that The perception of ‘made in China’ is changing. What was once synonymous with a cheap and regular product, today is pivoting to a premium, solvent and capable of standing up to the most established brands from South Korea, Japan or the United States. We are seeing it in all segments: white goods, televisions, sound, automotive, mobile phones and, soon, we will see it in household appliances. Lead the market based on folding and artificial intelligence This is Honor’s humanoid robot, developed entirely by them and visible in their store | Image: Xataka If competing in the low range is getting down in the mud and getting dirty, doing so in the premium range means playing in the same league as devices from Samsung and Apple, two names that are not easy to overshadow. One of Honor’s plans to achieve this is to conquer foldables. “We will be leaders in foldable devices, we will be there, we will be the strongest,” says Laurence while pointing out the Honor Magic V5 which I use as a personal phone. In just four years, Honor has gone from being born to launching the thinnest folding terminal on the market. It is a device that breaks with all the conventions that a novice user of a terminal like this could have: the battery lasts, it feels resistant, it is light, thin, it is comfortable to use, it has a good camera and, when folded, it is attached to a conventional mobile phone. Looking at it with perspective, improving a product like this seems complicated. Folding and … Read more

The questions that you have sent us (and their answers) about one of the most interesting folding in the market

by

We are going to solve Your doubts about the Honor Magic V5a folding that this year has shown that there was still room to lose weight this type of devices more than we thought. His bet does not remain in thinness: he also shines on the screen and in the photographic section. We have tried it thoroughly for several days and now it is the turn to solve all your doubts. In this video we answer the questions you have left us In our Instagram profile. If you are thinking of making the leap to a folding, get comfortable: what you are going to see is worth it. Q & A Honor Magic V5 When we talk about Honor Magic V5 We talk about one of the most ambitious bets of the folding segment, an increasingly competitive land where this model puts the bar very high in front of any rival. We start with the basics: weight and dimensions. In one of its versions, the device barely reaches the 8.8 millimeters thick and the 217 grams. Folded looks like a conventional mobile, with a 6.43 -inch screen. When opening it, a 7.95 -inch panel is displayed that multiplies the possibilities of use. Another of your usual doubts has been resistance. The Magic V5 has Certification against water and dust. It is not a fragile device: the exterior screen integrates an anti -RELATED coating, the interior is reinforced and the hinge has received notable improvements in this generation. As for visualization, both screens are Amoled. The exterior stands out for its reduced frames and the front chamber integrated in a small central hole. Offers Resolution of 2,376 x 1,060 pixels and adaptive refreshment of 120 Hz. The result is an especially satisfactory experience to watch videos and consume content in general. You have also asked us about concrete functions. Yes, it has inverse load to 5 W. As for the finishes, it is available in three colors: White (Ivory White), Black (Black) and Dorado (Dawn Gold). And in relation to sound, without being its strongest point, it meets: even with the maximum volume it is difficult to find distortions. I could not miss the question about artificial intelligence. Honor has allied with Google to Integrate serial geminiwhich allows access to functions such as Gemini Live to talk, solve doubts and even share what the camera captures. And, of course, the camera has been another recurring themes.

I have tried the new Magic V5 honor and it seems difficult for Apple to overcome it in design with its folding

by

It has cost, but I can finally recommend them to anyone. The new folding have nothing to do with what we had a few years ago. And the new Magic V5 honor is the best example. They still have the same format, but Hand experience has finally equated to use a traditional mobile. A point that has not been easy to achievebut that in the middle of 2025 we can already say that it has been achieved. In my case it was with the OPPO FIND N5 When I had this feeling for the first time. That of a folding that did not seem heavy or uncomfortable. With the Magic V3 We experience it, with the Samsung Galaxy Z fold7 We have proven that it is the new norm and with the Magic V5 honor we ask ourselves directly to what extent the folding can improve even more in their external design. There is no finer folding In a presentation event in London, Honor has presumed to launch the thinner folding smartphone in the world, with Only 8.8 millimeters thick. This figure does not include the high part of its generous camera, but it doesn’t matter. The sensation in hand when we fold it is the same as when we use a traditional high range. It is not an ultralight mobile, because it weighs 217 grams, but it is not a figure that differs from many flagships. If we compare it with the iPhone 16 Pro Max (227 grams), we have a lighter mobile. Using it folded is practice to use a normal mobile. And we do not say it to say, the truth is that we have seen the majority of colleagues Use it for a large part of the folded time. Literally forgetting that we are facing a folding mobile. Only when it is needed is when we consider opening it and taking advantage of its 7.95 -inch interior screen. When opening it and putting it on the table on the table we realize how really fine it is: 4.1 mm thick in its white model. Fortunately it does not feel at any time fragile. Honor explains that he has also added an anti -raying shield and the inner panel is reinforced with carbon fiber. But If you transmit security despite how thin it is, it is mainly for the hingewhere this year there have been improvements. In the absence of an analysis with more time of use, the feeling that I have to open and close it is excellent, although I would not say that very different from what we have with the Z FOLD7. The Magic V5 honor has IP58 classification of dust and water resistance, a level of security that exemplifies how well integrated and sealed the hinge is. It is ahead of the IP48 of the Z Fold 7, although at this honor point behind Google with its new Pixel 10 Pro foldthat although it is considerably thicker, it does reach the IP68 certification. Neither one nor two, until three If the folding ones have so much potential, it is for all the possibilities that it allows for such a large screen. In addition to improving their design and hardware, these devices are also taking great steps in terms of software. The Magic V5 honor comes with much AI, how could it be otherwise in 2025. Honor has allied with Google To offer presinstalized Gemini. This allows access to functions such as Gemini Live to ask things that you see through the camera or the creation of videos through images with I see. I liked that honor will create a Quick shortcut to access Gemini, simply touching the back twice. Long life to gestures, both tactile and physicists in different parts of the device. Artificial intelligence also makes an appearance in photo editing, call translation and conversations translation. As well as in the portrait mode and the zoom, with that triple camera with a 50MP main sensor, ultra wide angle of another 50MP and 64 MP teleobjective. But the function that we will probably use is improved multi-flex mode. We can Use up to three applications simultaneouslywhich is a more step with respect to the multipant that we usually have in Android and one of the strengths of the folding book type. Honor and its magic layer 9.0 are taking steps in the good direction to take advantage of the format. In the case of the three applications, with a button we can change your address and the screen is divided into three zones. Unfortunately, as is the case with the multipant of two, not all applications or settings menus are compatible. Samsung has put the batteries, but honor is still at the forefront Samsung is an undisputed leader in Europe in folding. His Galaxy Fold He was the main pioneer and has earned his own right to be the reference. However, for many years Samsung has gone behind the competition. It was honor with his First Magic v The one who highlighted the importance of thinness in the folding and not leave hole when closing. Since then with its successive models it has been the manufacturer who has held the record of thinness. He Magic V2 Honor He was the first to get off the 10 mm folded and Magic V3 last year already marked a record with 9.9mm. The difference with Samsung was huge, because the Z fold6 It stayed above 12 mm folded thick. Fortunately Samsung has made a huge leap with its new Z Fold7 and the difference has been reduced to the minimum. In fact, it was Samsung’s goal to boast of having the thinnest folding, but Honor wanted to steal this position. The important thing although it is not the one who has the lowest data, but the fact that both have finally reached a pleasant point for the user. Millimeter to millimeter We have finally reached the state we all asked. In fact, the Galaxy Z … Read more
