The world’s thinnest phone has been officially launched and it is a smartphone that you will need to rest on your palms with a bit of care, courtesy of its thin body. The Gionee Elife S5.1 belonging to the Chinese brand Gionee was revealed some time back, but just got its official launch today. The cellphone sports a light-weight body boasting a minimal 5.1mm thin structure.
Even prior to its launch, the smartphone had surfaced online in a few images. And as the curiosity regarding the super-thin smartphone kept mounting, the handset’s specifications also got leaked ahead of the official launch.
Going by the actual specifications, the handset is known to sport a 4.8-inch AMOLED 720p HD screen. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core chip clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB of RAM. The phone’s camera stands at a good platform with 8-megapixels and LED flash around the rear. In terms of the phone’s storage, its capacity is limited to 16GB and cannot be expanded. Although the inbuilt storage capacity of this smartphone is sufficient for the regular user, it may not please others. The cellphone’s 2,100 mAh battery and Android Jelly Bean 4.3 OS run with Gionee’s own Amigo 2.0 interface laid on top. The Elife S5.1 measures 139.8×67.4×5.15mm and provides for Micro-SIM support. These specifications expect this awaited cellphone to get an appealing response by the consumers. How well it fares is going to be a story that will follow soon.
Notably, the Elife S5.5, from the flagship series by Gionee was claimed to be the world’s thinnest smartphone by Gionee until the launch of Elife S5.1, which beats the Vivo X3 at 5.75mm.
A fact that might depress mobile enthusiasts is that they might never get to experience the world’s thinnest phone. Well, not unless they are willing to go far to get it since it is only available in China. That’s right, the Gionee Elife S5.1 will not launch in the west, but there are always imports if you absolutely must have it.
