NEW YORK, USA – August 19, 2025 – In a stunning demonstration of engineering and durability, Honor has officially secured a new Guinness World Record by showcasing the immense strength of its flagship foldable smartphone. The Honor Magic V2 has been recognized for lifting a staggering weight of 266.3 kg (587 lbs), a feat previously unheard of for a mobile device.
The record, titled “Most weight lifted by a smartphone,” was meticulously executed to highlight the groundbreaking strength of the Magic V2’s titanium alloy hinge. In a carefully designed setup, two Honor Magic V2 smartphones were placed on their sides with their hinges open at a 90-degree angle, acting as pivot points. A massive barbell loaded with weights was then precisely balanced on top of the devices.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on-site to verify the attempt, which required the phones to support the weight for a minimum of five seconds. The Magic V2 not only met but far exceeded this requirement, standing firm under the immense pressure.
This innovative record attempt serves as a powerful testament to Honor’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of smartphone design. The company has repeatedly emphasized the durability of the Magic V2’s hinge, and this world-record feat provides a dramatic visual confirmation of its resilience. By using the phones to lift more than a quarter of a ton, Honor has not only created a memorable publicity event but also instilled a new level of confidence in the structural integrity of its foldable technology.
The record now firmly places the Honor Magic V2 in the annals of Guinness World Records, solidifying its reputation as a device that is not just elegant and slim, but also incredibly robust.
