HONOR has officially claimed a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the “most consecutive flaming doors run through with the body on fire” in collaboration with Campus Univers Cascades (CUC).

This record-breaking stunt was executed by CUC performer Renaud Favero, who ran through six flaming doors while on fire, completing the challenge in under seven seconds.

Each door, measuring 210cm x 90cm x 4cm, was spaced two meters apart, creating a fiery obstacle that required Favero to clear each one in just five seconds.

The HONOR Magic7 Lite, strapped to Favero’s arm, captured every moment with its 16MP front-facing camera, documenting the fiery feat in real time.

The smartphone’s HONOR Anti-Drop Display proved its durability, withstanding high-impact collisions with the flaming doors without any damage.

The HONOR Magic7 Pro, also used in the stunt, recorded the action from the sidelines, using its AI Motion Sensing Capture to track Favero’s sprint.

This record-breaking stunt followed weeks of specialised training at CUC in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, France, where graduates are known for their toughness and endurance, often sought by Hollywood stunt professionals.

Bond Zhang, CEO of HONOR UK&I, said: “At HONOR, we love setting new standards through our world-record-breaking, premium devices. The HONOR Magic7 Lite is so tough that it’s the first-ever smartphone to be endorsed by the world’s premier stunt professionals.

“Paired with the HONOR Magic7 Pro’s incredible AI-powered camera capturing every hot second with remarkable clarity, this challenge was the perfect way to showcase the strength and innovation behind the Magic7 Series. Plus, partnering with the elite stunt professionals at Campus Univers Cascades made this even more special.” 

Renaud Favero, Deputy Director from Campus Univers Cascades commented: “Executing high-risk stunts demands resilient gear, and the HONOR Magic7 Lite proved exceptionally tough, withstanding intense heat, flames, and impact while capturing the action on video.

“This partnership with HONOR pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, demonstrating that the Magic7 Lite is not only built for extreme conditions but also the tumbles and trials of everyday life – perfect for anyone who pushes their limits.”
