Huawei Intros World Thinnest Smartphone, the Ascend P1 S

Until Samsung and Apple settle their differences regarding the thinnest device among

the Galaxy S II and the iPhone, Huawei is stepping in at CES to unveil the world's thinnest

smartphone.

6.68 mm! Yest, thinner than seven millimeters is how thick the Huawei Ascend P1 S is.

As for the specs, it's also one of the fastest in its class. Check it out: 4.3-inch Super

AMOLED display with qHD 960 x 540 resolution, dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP 4460

Cortext-A9 CPU clocking at 1.5 GHz and supported by the PowerVR SGX 540 GPU, and

powering it all is Android 4.x Ice Cream Sandwich. There's an eight-megapixel camera at

the back with dual-LED flash and 1080p video recording capability plus a 1.3-megapixel HD

front-facing which can record in 720p. There's a 1,800 mAh battery to power everything.

If you come to think of it, even the thicker brother of the Ascend P1 S, the Ascend P1, is thinner

than the Galaxy S II and the iPhone. It measures 7.69 mm and shares the specs of the P1 S.

They both pack 1GB of RAM and 4GB of ROM but the P1 has a smaller battery of 1670 mAh.

Look for both smartphones in the second quarter of the year if you are living in Europe,

Asia-Pacific, North America, Australia, Middle East or China. There will also be three color choices:

metallic black, ceramic white, cherry-blossom pink.

How thin will these go?! I'm guessing the android dev support will suck though.

In a world where most phones continue to be launched with Gingerbread, it's good to see someone doing the right thing, but those physical buttons don't belong there?

[Muhammad Farrukh]

I can't even imagine holding this thing.

iPhone 4/4S' slimness is just about perfect. Haven't used RAZR yet, but I think, iPhone got it perfectly right

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Damn didn't think they would come much thinner then the 7.1mm Driod RAZR.

At this rate, we're only years away from holding what looks like just a 1mm thick screen in our hands.

reading up on Huawei, they look somewhat shady.

[Ently]

Yeah I wouldn't trust that company personally. I doubt they would offer any decent support for their phones and I'm sure with that much technology crammed into such a tiny place it will cause problems. Phones are thin enough as they are now!

Huawai have been kaing halfway decent phones for a long time now. A lot of Vodafone branded devices are made by Huawai as well.

Personally I prefer my Samsung S2, but I would not mind a higher end Huawai phone.

It says how big the battery is, but how long does that last?

[Blaze_Zewi]

When will the phone from Zoolander be out, I want that one :p

[Hardcore Til I Die]

I think making incredibly thin phones is a genius idea. You can always buy a thick case to make it bigger if you want to, but there's no way to make a device thinner. Makes sense to me!

[MillionVoltss]

Hopefully they can become flexible soon too.

[Kerm]

At this rate, we're only years away from holding what looks like just a 1mm thick screen in our hands.

It wouldn't be comfortable and would be quite tricky to hold securely when in a call etc.

The Galaxy SII is already a shade too thin but it's grand with a small case on the back.

"Thinnest" should not be a target for developers anymore I feel.

"Thinnest" should not be a target for developers anymore I feel.

can they now aim for "longest battery life" please!

Huawei ("Who are we?") are putting out some decent phones, stock Android so easy for community to pick up development. They are probably part of a greater Chinese conspiracy for world domination or has some sort of spyware to take over but apart from that they one of the OEMs of choice for when Telco's want to put out a self-branded device.

With this thinness - it is getting ridiculous that we are now measuring in fractions of a millimetre for something that we hold in our hands. Who is honestly going to feel the difference between 6.88mm and 7.1mm thickness, it is only 0.22 of a MILLIMETER difference. I don't know if the human eye could even spot such a microscopic difference.

It would quite easily spot the difference if the two objects were stood side by side, but you're right, such specific measurements are kinda pointless.

They only do it because the phone has absolutely no other selling point.
