The narrowest or thinnest phones. The thinnest and lightest smartphones in the world

When smartphones just began to appear on world markets, their thickness reached one and a half centimeters, and for some models with a QWERTY keyboard - 2 cm or more. Such dimensions contradicted the main concept of a mobile phone - mobility, therefore, since then, most well-known brands have annually reduced the thickness and weight of their gadgets. Our rating of thin smartphones of 2017 will show how successful they are in this. It includes devices of various configurations, classes and prices, and the position specific model in the Top is determined solely by the thickness of its body. So let's begin.

BQ BQS-4516 Singapore – 6.0 mm

Among the widest range of devices, the thickness of which has reached 6 mm, the BQS-4516 Singapore model stands out for its affordable price. There is no point in expecting performance miracles from a smartphone for 4,000 rubles, but for communication and use basic applications BQS-4516 is perfect. As pre-installed operating system Android 4.2 or 4.4 is usually offered. There is no point in upgrading it to older versions, because the gadget has received budget processor MediaTek MT6572 clock frequency 1.2 GHz, and its volume RAM limited to 512 megabytes. 4 GB of ROM are available, in addition to which you can install a memory card microSD format.
The display has a modest resolution of 480x854 pixels, which with a diagonal of 4.5 inches leads to distinct pixelation of the image. But the camera was a pleasant surprise - it has a good 8-megapixel matrix and is located in a convenient rotating module. Next to the lens is an LED flash that can be used as a flashlight.

Pros:

excellent size, fits very comfortably in the hand;
picture quality;
bright screen;
beautiful design;
PTZ camera.

Cons:

very small selection of spare parts, covers and accessories;
battery.

ZTE Nubia My Prague – 6.0mm

Compared to the model described above, the ZTE Nubia My Prague belongs to a completely different class of smartphones. It is powerful and high-quality, characterized by high performance and speed even in the most demanding applications. The “heart” of the gadget is the Spandragon 615, the architecture of which is based on eight 64-bit Cortex-A53 cores. The processor clock frequency was 1.7 GHz. Memory capacity depends on the configuration of the phone - in the basic version it is 2 GB of RAM memory and 16 GB of permanent storage, in the Elite version the values are 3 GB and 32 GB, respectively. There are slots for two SIM cards and a memory card. The OS role is played by Android 5.0.2.
With a relatively low weight, Nubia My Prague has a 5.2-inch screen that meets the Full-HD standard. The AMOLED matrix guarantees color saturation, contrast and image brightness at almost any viewing angle. If you are looking for a model with a good camera, pay attention to the 13-megapixel Nubia matrix, which, thanks to the f/2.2 aperture and high-quality optics, can compete with budget cameras. The front camera is a little more modest - 8 megapixels. Characteristics of ZTE Nubia My Prague is impressive, but the price will not suit everyone - you will have to pay up to 25,000 rubles for the new product.

Pros:

looks great and expensive;
excellent screen;
super sound in headphones;
There is fast charging;
quality of materials and components.

Cons:

no FM receiver;

Samsung Galaxy A8 SM-A800F – 5.9 mm

Despite the fact that the updated A8 should appear on store shelves starting in January 2018, the popularity of the SM-A800F modification is not decreasing. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the phone turned out to be relatively inexpensive, but good - today its price varies between 18-20 thousand rubles. Secondly, it received a protected metal case, which is not often found in ultra-thin models. Thirdly, this is perhaps the only phone in its class with a good battery - its capacity is 3050 mAh.
The hardware is implemented at a fairly high level. All operations are managed by the already familiar Spandragon 615 together with the Adreno 405 video accelerator. The volumes of RAM and ROM are 2 GB and 16 GB, there is a flash memory slot. The screen size has been increased to 5.7 inches, the resolution is 1920x1080 pixels. Installed rear camera 16 MP and five megapixel front camera. If we talk about the minuses, then these are overly sensitive keys and an outdated OS - Android 5.1 is preinstalled.

Pros:

big, bright, good readable screen, which practically does not get dirty;
very light despite its substantial size;
build quality is good;
high performance;
great battery.

Cons:

a little fragile;
no NFS;
There is no optical camera stabilizer.

Motorola Moto Z – 5.2 mm

Motorola made its way to the top of the thinnest smartphones with a trick - instead of placing large-sized modules inside the case, it made them removable. To the back of the new Moto Z you can attach an additional battery with a capacity of 2200 or 3000 mAh, a 12-megapixel camera from the world famous Hasselblad brand, high-quality portable speaker or small multimedia projector. Needless to say, the price of the modules is very high, if even the basic configuration of a smartphone costs 50 thousand rubles? Let's try to figure out what caused this price.
First of all, you should pay attention to the powerful processor Spandragon 820, which operates at 2.2 GHz. The amount of RAM is fixed at 4 GB, but for data storage, depending on the configuration, 32 or 64 GB are allocated. But the main advantage of the gadget is the incredible resolution of 1140x2560 pixels with a diagonal of 5.5 inches. Combined with AMOLED technology, it makes any image vibrant and realistic.

Pros:

very durable body;
bright and clear display;
excellent camera with optical stabilization;
nimble and bug-free.

Cons:

very slippery;
There is no 3.5 headphone jack.

Fly Tornado Slim (IQ4516 Octa) – 5.15 mm

This particular model is included in the Guinness Book of Records as “the thinnest phone.” In reality, of course, there are thinner gadgets, but the manufacturer either did not want to spend money on registering them, or placed protruding parts on the back surface of the case (most often this is a camera lens unit). We will talk about such devices below, but for now we invite you to get acquainted with the features of Fly Tornado Slim.
The smartphone is one of the best solutions in terms of price-quality ratio, although the developers had to sacrifice a lot in the name of compactness. Thus, the IQ4516 does not have a memory expansion slot, there is no 4G module, and the amounts of RAM and ROM are limited to 1 and 16 gigabytes. But the processor is not so bad - MediaTek MT6592 has eight cores and operates at a frequency of 1.7 GHz. The AMOLED display has a classic HD resolution, and is protected on top by the thinnest Gorilla Glass 3. Camera matrices are limited to 8 and 5 megapixels. Today the model is already disappearing from stores; its average retail price is 12,000 rubles.

Pros:

excellent design;
performance;
good camera;
juicy SuperAmoled screen.

Cons:

battery is weak;
quiet speaker.

Micromax Q450 Canvas Sliver 5 – 5.1 mm

In 2017, Micromax proved that an ultra-thin smartphone can cost less than 10 thousand. What components does the five-millimeter case of the Q450 Canvas Sliver 5 hide? Far from being the most powerful CPU, the Qualcomm Spandragon 410 has four cores and an output speed of 1.2 GHz, the amount of RAM is 2 GB, and 16 GB of permanent storage is available without expandability. In the name of thickness, we had to sacrifice battery capacity - it was only 2000 mAh.
The 4.8-inch diagonal screen has an HD AMOLED matrix. An interesting solution was the installation of a good eight-megapixel Sony cameras IMX219 on the back of the gadget, in front there is more simple camera at 5 MP. The phone supports technology modern technologies data exchange, such as 4G and OTG, and its weight is only 97 grams.

Pros:

light and comfortable;
display quality;
good sound.

Cons:

memory cannot be expanded.

BQ BQS-4800 Blade – 5 mm

The BQ BQS-4800 Blade and Micromax Q450 Canvas Sliver 5 smartphones have a lot in common. They have the same displays, batteries, processors, even the amounts of permanent memory and RAM are identical. The BQS-4800 Blade model helped us climb to a higher level in our review of the best thin smartphones by another fraction of a millimeter won - its thickness was exactly 5 mm.
Another innovation is the rear camera. The resolution of its matrix has increased to 13 megapixels, and among additional functions active autofocus appeared. The weight of the new product has increased slightly - now it is exactly 100 g. You can buy the BQ BQS-4800 Blade for 12-13 rubles. By the way, next year the company plans to replenish model range another inexpensive thin model.

Pros:

stylish appearance;
nimble and productive;
camera quality;
powerful processor.

Cons:

small battery.

OPPO R5 – 4.85 mm

Chinese phones OPPO – not yet frequent guest on the shelves of domestic electronics stores. However, they have something to surprise customers. A clear confirmation of this is the R5 model, which, with a thickness of only 4.85 mm, is equipped with an eight-core Spandragon 615 at 1.7 GHz, two gigabytes of RAM and 16 GB of built-in flash memory. Unfortunately, there is no microSD slot.
The model has a 5.2-inch screen with FullHD resolution and a 13-megapixel main camera, the edge of which protrudes slightly above the back of the phone. With such rich functionality, it seems like an unforgivable mistake by the developers to install battery 2000 mAh – it will run out in just a few hours of active use. Another minus is the obviously overpriced. For thirty thousand rubles you can buy flagships of famous corporations.

Pros:

design;
good camera;
high quality screen.

Cons:

battery is weak;
no 3.5mm audio output.

VIVO X5 Max – 4.75 mm

This gadget is even more expensive - you will have to pay 35,000 rubles for it. Let's try to figure out whether VIVO X5 Max is worth the money. Of course, the first thing that catches your eye is the very slim body models made of non-marking metal. In the central part its thickness is 4.75 mm, and at the edges it decreases to an incredible 4 mm. At the same time, we managed to place a 2300 mAh battery inside – not so bad.
The “heart” of the smartphone is the popular 8-core Qualcomm Spandragon 615 with a clock frequency of 1.7 GHz, working with 2 GB of RAM memory. Unlike its competitors, the X5 Max has a slot for microSD cards, the volume of the built-in ROM was 16 gigabytes. The screen diagonal has been increased to 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. There is a top-end 13-megapixel Sony IMX214 photo module and a simple five-megapixel front camera. Interesting feature phone - the presence of a Yamaha YSS-205X audio chip, which raises multimedia capabilities per level personal computers. The pre-installed OS was somewhat disappointing - it's outdated Android 4.4.4 KitKat.

Pros:

very nimble;
sound;
good camera;
great screen.

Cons:

weak battery.

Coolpad Ivvi K1 mini – 4.7 mm

The thinnest smartphone of our time is Coolpad Ivvi K1 mini. In the name of thickness and cost reduction (approximately 11,000 rubles), the developers sacrificed a lot, and first of all, autonomy. The battery capacity was only 1800 mAh, which means that working on a 4G network will power up the gadget in 3-4 hours. The role of the processor is played by the 1.2 GHz Spandragon 410, the volume of RAM and permanent memory were 1 and 8 GB, respectively. There is no expansion slot.
The configuration of the case is not uniform - most of it actually has a thickness of 4.7 mm, at the top and bottom back panel It is rounded, “eating” another 1.2 mm, but in the area where the 8-megapixel camera is located, the total thickness of the device reaches 6.2 mm. One of the factors that made it possible to create such a thin phone is the innovative AMOLED display, which, with a diagonal of 4.7 inches, has a depth of just over 1.3 mm. An interesting feature of Coolpad Ivvi K1 mini is the availability infrared port and pre-installed software that allows you to remotely control some household appliances.

What does the current 2017 season have in store for us? The previous record, which is 4.7 mm, was not conquered, which means that the first place is still held by Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini. But we will not start with it, but with the thinnest smartphones that you can buy on the Russian market.
