News & Reviews:   Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini

As things gear up for MWC 2015, Gionee has announced that they will come out with an ultra-slim smartphone for the event in March 2015. While they have not announced what the phone will be called or how slim it will be, they have commented on the fact that making a slim smartphone that doesn't perform is not a good thing. This implies that we could see a more powerful Gionee ultra-slim smartphone. While the Gionee Elife S5.1 has held the world's thinnest smartphone title at 5.15mm, that title has since changed hands to the Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini at 4.7mm. Gionee will likely offer this unnamed smartphone for China and there are currently no details about Malaysia release dates or pricing just yet.

The title of world's thinnest smartphone has changed hands over the past few months quite a lot actually with the OPPO R5 and Vivo X5 Max. However, the current title holder is now the Coolpad Ivvi K1 Miniwhich comes in at 4.7-mm thin. Other tech specs include a 64-bit Snapdragon 410 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB storage, 4.7-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 4G LTE support and 1800 mAh battery. Features don't include much that is different but there are the usual beautify modes along with a remote control capability for washing machines, televisions and air-conditioners. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but if it does come, it will likely be through third-party sellers.
