This is a 5.15 mm thin smartphone "Vivo Air". With 4.8-inch organic EL display, SoC has MediaTek MT 6592 (8 cores), 1 GB memory, and OS is equipped with Android 4.4 (Kit Kat).


Looking from the side like this. It became common that thin phone smartphones of this class no longer have earphone jacks installed. Vivo Air is scheduled to be released in mid-January 2015 at $ 199 (approximately 24,000 yen).


Meanwhile, after the end of CES 2015 Samsung is also a thin smart phone "GALAXY A7Announced. GALAXY A 7 is 6.3 mm thin, and adopts Samsung Exynos 5430 (8 cores) for SoC. The memory is 2GB and equipped with 5.5 inch organic EL display. By the way, because the thickness of the iPhone 6 is 6.9 mm, GALAXY A 7 has exceeded iPhone 6 in terms of thinness.


Nonetheless, there are still more models that emphasize thinness. This is Guinness certified in the world's thinnest "Gionee ELIFE S5.1Its thinness is 5.15 mm. However, the world's thinnest title was robbed by other smartphones in less than a few months.


A smartphone that realizes the thinness that finally cuts down 5 mm finishes with what is above is on top. This is Oppo's "R5". The thinness is amazing 4.85 mm.


You can check how thin R5 is with the following movie stabbing the fruit.

An apple that I saw somewhere.


Crush with R5.


R5 that can pierce watermelon is no longer a weapon.


Even hard walnuts this street.


Perfection is a performance that hits the nails. The thrust of "It's too thin to beat easily" is Yabo.


In addition, it is the thinnest thin R5 or more as an announced smartphone Currently the world's thinnest seat is "Vivo X5 Max"The thinness is 4.75 mm.


Compared to Vivo X5 Max (top) and iPhone 5s (bottom) this is like this. The surprising thinness of Vivo X5 Max is obvious.


The battle fighting the title of "the world's thinnest" that breaks the brute force in increments of 0.1 mm does not know where to stay but it is also a fact that it is harmful because it is too thin. 7.1 mm thickEven iPhone 6 Plus has the problem of being easy to bendTherefore, it is no doubt that strength problems can not be avoided if the thinness is thoroughly studied. In addition, there is also a big problem that you have to sacrifice the battery capacity to make it thinner. The pursuit of thinness inevitable tradeoffs with smartphone functionality seems to be said to be beyond the limit any longer.
