We are used to working with compact, attractively designed devices capable of solving our maximum tasks. In fact, all devices that are currently on the market have such characteristics. However, some of them differ from others in their dimensions, design, build quality, capabilities.
In this article we will talk about those gadgets that boast a thin body. After all, manufacturers strive to minimize the thickness of the device, make it more elegant and sophisticated, even sacrificing technological capabilities.
Benefits
The positive qualities that thin smartphones have are obvious. First, it is decorative. Yes, the thin case gives the phone some charm, makes the device more attractive in the eyes of the buyer. No wonder today, when creating a commercial about a particular model, manufacturers often mention something like “the thinnest case in the world” or “the thickness of the case has decreased by 4 mm”. Such phrases are aimed at evoking an association in the user, which makes it clear: the thinner the model, the more valuable it is.
Secondly, reviews note that suchdevices are more convenient. In fact, holding a model with a large body is not so convenient. This is especially true for girls with relatively small hands. Therefore, a thin smartphone gives them the opportunity to hold the model more firmly in their hand, for example, during a conversation.
Third, a sophisticated gadget is more practical. Think for yourself: how can you put a large device, say, in the pocket of a women's handbag? Or, say, to put a smartphone in the pocket of tight trousers, it is necessary that its dimensions allow it, that is, be as small as possible.
For these and other reasons, users love thin smartphones. Therefore, if you choose a device for yourself next time, we recommend that you contact the owners of such a case.
Flaws
Of course, serious problems are hidden behind a small thickness. The first and one of the most significant is the "fragile" character. We all probably remember the story when the iPhone 5 and 5S, released in the first batches, “suffered” badly from bending in the back pocket of their trousers. This was caused, again, by the desire of the developer company to reduce the size of the smartphone. These thin smartphones didn't have a strong enough case to withstand the pressure in your pocket. As a result, there are thousands of reports that the device is bent from all over the world.
The second important point, which can be called negative, is the lack of enough space to accommodate some technological modules and parts. Say, with a larger case, the user can count oncapacious battery and powerful “stuffing”, which can not be said about thin smartphones. This is normal, because any equipment, being more developed, will take up, accordingly, more space. In some cases (judging by the reviews, again) you will have to sacrifice one of the components in order to ensure the successful operation of the other. If you want a thin smartphone, remember that a large battery will not be provided in it.
Rating
However, despite these and other shortcomings, models with a thin body are in great demand. We can convince you of this with the help of our rating of devices. It includes thin inexpensive smartphones that are successfully sold in communication stores and serve their owners. At the same time, we tried to select not so much the newest, as time-tested and affordable devices.
Huawei Acsend P7
The Chinese company, which began its work on the global market relatively recently, has several thin functional smartphones in its lineup. One of them is the Ascend P7. This phone has 2 SIM cards, which allows the user to work simultaneously with two tariff plans from different operators. Agree, this is a good savings!
Besides the dimensions, the P7 also has an attractive appearance. The successful combination of metal and glass makes the smartphone body truly elegant in the hands of everyone. For this model, judging by the reviews, and received such widespread recognition. Such a thin smartphone can be the perfect complement to your style.only a fragile girl, but also a stern man - depending on the color combination and accessories.
Lenovo S90
Another interesting device (also a Chinese gadget) is the S90 model. In the world of smartphones, this instance is known as a copy of the iPhone 6 (due to its body shape and some design elements that are clearly borrowed from the American "flagship").
The model deserves attention, firstly, due to the thin body (which, according to user reviews, is also captivating with its light weight). Secondly, the gadget was equipped with a powerful hardware running on 4 cores with a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz each. The 2300 mAh battery additionally creates a good impression of the device.
Lenovo Vibe X2
Inexpensive thin metal smartphone (the second model on our list from the same manufacturer) is called the Vibe X2. It is equipped with quality components - at the level of what the S90 model offers, only with a more powerful processor. The phone screen (resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels) allows you to enjoy high-quality display of media files of any format. And the thin body mentioned above is the detail that reviews say makes the device even more enjoyable.
Samsung A5
High-end phones from the Korean electronics giant are both slim and powerful. The same applies to the Galaxy A5. It is relatively inexpensive (about $ 150-170), but quite an interesting thin, powerfula smartphone capable of showing excellent results in any speed test. Due to the fact that the device was assembled by Samsung specialists, the quality of its service also deserves respect. And, of course, all this is packaged in a stylish, lightweight and compact package.
Alcatel OneTouch Idol X6040
To avoid reproaches that rather expensive models are among the thin ones, we can also turn to the budget segment. There, in particular, a conspicuous figure is a device from Alcatel. The phone costs about 8,000 rubles, has some kind of stuffing average for Chinese copies of smartphones, and at the same time looks much more expensive. However, judging by the reviews, the weaknesses of the gadget can be called its performance and optimization. Perhaps it is better to use it as an additional phone for 2 SIM cards to the main smartphone.
Oppo R5
By the way, speaking of little-known Chinese gadgets, one cannot fail to mention Oppo. The products of this concern have probably already been heard by you. At least, such smartphones are very cheap, although they have quite serious technical characteristics. Of course, most of them are the appearance of high performance (due to matrix interpolation, for example, the number of megapixels “increases”). Nevertheless, the thickness of the body of this smartphone is amazing. It's about 4.95 millimeters. This is probably one of the thinnest phones on the market. With a 2000 mAh battery and a 4-core processor, it can give a head start to many.
Vivo X5Max
You certainly have not heard of such a brand, and there is nothing surprising in this. A purely Chinese brand Vivo, operating in the local market, went “to the world”, offering an even more compact model. The body thickness of his X5 Max phone is only 4.75 millimeters! And, surprisingly, the model is made of metal, due to which we can confidently talk about its stylish look and pleasant to the touch material.
As you can see, thin smartphones for 2 SIM cards are not uncommon these days. Here we have presented only the most significant samples from the upper and lower price segments. On the shelves of stores, you will find much more interesting models.
