The title of World's thinnest smartphone is currently being held by the Huawei Ascend P6 which has a super thin thickness of 6.1mm. This title may soon see a change of hands though as another Chinese smartphone called the Umeox X5 is set to gain the title with a 5.6mm thick chassis. Other rumoured tech specs for the Umeox X5 include:
- 4-inch OLED display (640 x 360)
- 1GHz Dual-core MT6572 processor
- 512MB / 1GB RAM
- 4GB storage + 32GB SD card
- 5MP rear camera + 5MP front camera
- Single SIM
- 1400 mAh
- 120 x 60 x 5.6mm
- Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
To put it in perspective, 5.6mm is about the thickness of half a wafer biscuit. Umeox achieved this by using a special OLED display that didn't need a backlight. According to sources, the Umeox X5 may be released in a few more months near the end of 2013 but there have been no details revealed about pricing or specific availability just yet. As always, stay tuned for further developments.
