Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 vs Honor Magic V5: Is the 0.1mm Thickness Hype Worth It?
Technically, the Honor Magic V5 with its Ivory White variant is basically 8.8mm when closed. In the meantime, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is a little thicker 8.9mm. So Honor is the winner, isn t he? Not quite. Popular Chinese tipster Ice Universe put the two phones next to each other and, in fact, the Fold7 appeared slimmer.
What is the surprize? It happens that the Honor Magic V5 has a ready-masked screen saver, not included in the official thickness. This implies that you will find a thicker version of it when you buy it as compared to the one that has been stated on the spec sheet. Samsung does not rely on such extras.
This minor variance points out the fact that even a minute thickness of 0.1mm (or even 1g of weight) can barely be distinguished in practical applications. Therefore, even though brands can sell their foldables as the thinnest in history, it is all about show-off. As a matter of fact, a good majority of the contemporary foldables are relatively thin and light to be conveniently held and used.
Next time you want to pick a foldable, I say, don not focus on thinness. Consider what is important to you- such as: screen quality, battery life, camera performance or software features. Anyway, the difference of 0.1mm is not going to affect your experience day-to-day.

Ubisoft names co-CEOs for new subsidiary to lead Assassin's Creed, Far Cry franchises
Ubisoft has appointed Christophe Derennes and Charlie Guillemot as co-CEOs of its new subsidiary, marking a significant step in the company's strategy to transform three of its most valuable franchises into billion-euro properties. The subsidiary, first announced in March, will focus exclusively on developing Assassin's Creed , Rainbow Six , and Far Cry into "evergreen, multi-platform game ecosystems" with backing from strategic partner Tencent . The Chinese tech giant's investment is expected to complete by the end of 2025, pending regulatory approval. Derennes brings 35 years of Ubisoft experience, having co-founded the Montreal studio in 1997 and most recently serving as Managing Director for North America . His operational expertise spans major game launches and production strategy across the company's portfolio. Guillemot represents a new generation of gaming leadership, combining entrepreneurial experience with deep industry knowledge. After starting at Owlient, a studio later acquired by Ubisoft, he co-founded Web3 gaming studio Unagi in 2021 before returning to Ubisoft in 2025. His approach emphasizes gameplay-first design and player-centric decision-making. The new subsidiary structure aims to give development teams greater autonomy and agility in creating next-generation player experiences. This organizational shift reflects Ubisoft's broader strategy to build sustainable, long-term franchise ecosystems rather than traditional single-game releases. AI Masterclass for Students.

Top lawmaker sends letter to US Commerce Secretary objecting to Nvidia selling AI chips to China: ‘We can't let the…'
Republican representative John Moolenaar , who is the chairman of the House Select Committee on China, has reportedly objected to the US Commerce Department 's decision to allow Nvidia to resume sales of its H20 AI chips to China. In a letter to US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Moolenaar warned that the move could advance China's AI capabilities and help Chinese companies gain market share in global AI model development. 'The Commerce Department made the right call in banning the H20. We can't let the (Chinese Communist Party) use American chips to train AI models that will power its military, censor its people, and undercut American innovation,' stated Republican representative Moolenaar on Friday (July 18), as per news agency Reuters. Nvidia 'allowed' to resume sales of AI chips in China Earlier this week, Nvidia announced that the US government has permitted the chipmaker to restart H20 sales, reversing an export restriction imposed in April. The ban aimed to keep advanced AI chips out of Chinese hands due to national security concerns, a position that has typically seen rare bipartisan agreement in Congress. This reversal has quickly drawn criticism from some US legislators. China represents a significant revenue source for Nvidia, the world's most valuable company. Recently, Lutnick stated that the planned resumption of H20 chip sales was part of ongoing US negotiations concerning rare earths and magnets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally Undo Recently, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang pushed back against US concerns saying that China doesn't need US-made chips and American stack to aid its military. He claimed that Chinese military 'don't need Nvidia's chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order to build their military' because 'they simply can't rely on it' as US technology 'could be limited at any time; not to mention, there's plenty of computing capacity in China already.' His comments come just ahead of his trip to China for which he was sent a 'warning letter' by some US senators. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Chinese trade curbs threatening $32 billion export ambition, warns India's electronics sector
NEW DELHI: India's smartphone and electronics industry has raised serious concerns over what it describes as informal but targeted trade restrictions imposed by China. The India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), in a letter to the government, sought swift policy measures to address these unofficial restrictions, which could derail the country's $32 billion export-driven manufacturing ambitions. As per the ICEA letter, India's electronics manufacturing sector remains heavily reliant on China for high-precision tools, specialized machinery, and critical components. Over the past eight months, manufacturers have been facing informal export restrictions that are nearing the level of an outright ban. Shipments of essential equipment are either being withheld at the origin or delayed at Chinese ports, leading to operational inefficiencies, production delays and increased costs. Sourcing alternatives from Japan and South Korea is reported to be three to four times more expensive.
