There are at least three Android phones thinner than the iPhone 5

 

Sorry Apple, you guys have a great device in the iPhone 5 but it’s certainly not the world’s thinnest smartphone.  While the 7.6mm thick body sounds incredibly thin and sexy, we’ve already found three Android smartphones that come in thinner.

  • Oppo Finder (6.65mm)
  • ZTE Athena (6.2mm)
  • Huawei Ascend P1 (6.68mm)

We’re going to go out on a limb here and say that there will be thinner devices over the next few months.  That said, we’re pretty darn sure that a lot of you would happily add a few millimeters to your phone’s backside if it provided some added talk-time and standby.

Motorola, to their credit, has found a way to marry the two mindsets in the Droid Razr Maxx HD.  With a 3300mAh battery and more than one full day of usage promised, the Verizon handset still comes in at an incredibly thin 9.3mm body.
