    Huawei Reveals the World's Thinnest Smartphone

    [More from Mashable: Canon Unveils New Flagship PowerShot Camera, G1 X [HANDS ON]]

    So far, "thin" has been the keyword for this year's CES. We've seen the world's thinnest tablet and ultrabook, and now Huawei has revealed an Android smarpthone that claims to be the world's slimmest.

    Ascend P1 S, as the device is called, sports a 4.3-inch, 540 x 960 Super AMOLED screen, a dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU paired with a SGX 540 GPU, an 8-megapixel camera and 1 GB of RAM.

    All of this is packed into a case that's only 6.68 mm thick, which makes it quite a bit thinner than the 7.1 mm Motorola Droid Razr.

    This unusually thin profile takes its toll on the battery, which is a 1670 mAh model, but fear not: Huawei has also unveiled a nearly identical Ascent P1, which has a 1800 mAh battery, but pays for it with a slightly thicker, 7.69 mm profile.

    Both devices will have Android 4.0 on board, and both are coming to the world's major markets in Q2 2012, at a yet unannounced price.

      42/100ths of a millimeter is nowhere near "quite a bit thinner." Maybe if you are an ant.

      thin is not that practical, more screen realestate without going bulky is much much more desirable....

      While I like the fact that they are making phones smaller every year, at what point does it become too thin? At just over 1/2 cm, what happens to it when your pulling it out of your pocket? Is it going to torque and snap? They really need to do more research when writing these articles about tech. I'm sure a few questions by these so called journalists could make an article worth reading.
