Industry watchers who pay attention to super-thin smartphones, and notably the record for world’s thinnest smartphone, know that Gionee has managed to hold the title for a while now. The current record holder is the Gionee Elfie S5.5 that measures only 5.5mm thick. A couple months ago rumors surfaced that Gionee was working on a successor, the G9005, that would bring the thickness down to only 4.9mm. Some new images posted to Weibo suggest Gionee may have some competition from Vivo in the near future.
The images that have surfaced show a device from Vivo that measures a mere 3.8mm in thickness. To help put that in perspective, that is half the size of an iPhone 5/5S which comes in at 7.6mm. Even the new iPhone 6 is still a whopping 3.1mm thicker than this new device, if Vivo manages to bring it to market.
