The never-ending battle for the world’s thinnest smartphone has just been renewed by the China-based smartphone maker Vivo, which just unveiled a new smartphone called Vivo X5Max, touting it to be the world’s slimmest at just 4.75mm thick.

Slim aluminum body is not the only attractive feature of the Vivo X5Max, the phone also sports a design similar to the new iPhone 6 Plus and comes equipped with a 5.5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chip, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage including microSD card support up to 128GB, and a whopping 5-megapixel camera on front with a 13-megapixel camera on the back.
Super thin and beautiful design will definitely give this phone a boost in sales, beating Gionee Elife and Oppo R5. However, it will only be a matter of time before someone else comes up with an even slimmer phone.
