Honor will introduce the Magic Vs clamshell foldable smartphone at the Mobile World Congress 2023. Ahead of the event, Honor posted an ad taking a jibe at Samsung for its Galaxy Z Fold/Flip foldable smartphones launched between 2019 to 2022.
Since Honor ad has been posted to criticize Samsung, it shows that the Chinese brand admits Galaxy Z Fold and Flip line is far ahead of its first foldable (clamshell) product. In the ad, Honor showcased that its upcoming flip phone has no gap around the crease area, which can be easily seen in Samsung’s foldables.

In its recent Twitter post, Honor targeted the gap seen in the Galaxy Z Flip foldable smartphones in the folded state. So far, Samsung used a U-type hinge design, which results in a gap at the mid-spot (the area where the display folds/hinge).
The Chinese company featured four Galaxy foldable smartphones including the Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Flip released in 2019 to 2022. The motive of Honor is to criticize Samsung and show itself as a great brand, but, it’s not happening at all!
