I remember back in high school how I was always gazing at a cellphone\u2019s store display, where a Motorola RAZR was up for sale in its full glory. And you must agree with me that it was not only the thinnest phone of that time but also the best-looking one!<\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, manufacturers are once again trying to make handsets dominated by the word \u201cthin\u201d. We\u2019re talking about thin profiles, thin bezels and so on, while the spec sheet should be as impressive as possible. Obviously, it\u2019s far to achieve perfection, as you can have it all, but some brands are trying\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of them managed to make phones with ridiculously thin profiles, but the spec sheet is far from being impressive, while others combined these two aspects and revealed a phone with high-end specs and a relatively slim design. And today we\u2019re talking about these phones and see if they\u2019re worth the money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung Galaxy A8 (2018)<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Samsung<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with recommending one of yours truly\u2019s favorites in terms of design. The 2018 variant of the Samsung Galaxy A8, introduced just a few months ago, is reportedly the manufacturer\u2019s slimmest phone yet, measuring just 8.3mm in thickness. <\/span><\/p>\n

It follows the same design line started by the Galaxy S8, with an Infinity Display, not to mention that it has a fingerprint scanner on the back, placed under the camera. Which is way better than how it\u2019s placed on the S8, as a side note. <\/span><\/p>\n

Spec-wise, it\u2019s an excellent device, rocking an octa-core CPU, up to 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, expandable with up to 256 more. The display is a bit big at 6.0 inches, but again, it doesn\u2019t feel like that, since the bezels have reduced sizes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not forget the 16MP camera and, most important, the 3500mAh battery. See? You can have enough juice even if you get the thinnest phone you can find!<\/span><\/p>\n

Huawei P10<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Huawei<\/p>\n

If the previous model was impressive, wait until you see this one! Launched almost one year ago, the Huawei P10 is still an excellent choice, whether you\u2019re looking for the thinnest phone on the market or for a very powerful one. After all, it\u2019s the Chinese manufacturer\u2019s most recent flagship! Oh, and it\u2019s just 7mm in thickness!<\/span><\/p>\n

The phone comes with a 5.1\u201d display, while under the hood it has Huawei\u2019s own Kirin 960 chipset, with an octa-core design, alongside 4GB of RAM and 32 or 64 gigs of internal storage. <\/span><\/p>\n

On the back, there\u2019s a dual 12 MP + 20MP camera, while the battery – non-removable – has a capacity of 3200mAh. Not bad for such a slim smartphone, isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Huawei P20 Lite<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Huawei<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not done with the Huawei since one of the latest additions to their portfolio is the P20 Lite, which should be the mini version of their upcoming flagship. And yes, we know, it has a notch\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering why we\u2019re considering it one of the thinnest phones you can get, you should know that it has just 7.4mm in thickness. Besides this, the display measures 5.84 inches and the spec sheet is pretty beefy: octa-core Kirin CPU, up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage (expandable). <\/span><\/p>\n

It has a dual camera setup on the back, which also reminds us of a phone with a notch. Spec-wise, though, it has two sensors, 12 and 20 MP, with OIS, and aided by a dual-LED flash. As for the battery, its capacity is currently unknown, but it should provide enough juice for a full day of intensive use. <\/span><\/p>\n

OnePlus 5T<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since the OnePlus 5T was released, but at that time, it was pretty much the most powerful and thinnest phone. And many people appreciated the way it looks, being made with a combination of glass and aluminum and, most important, measuring just 7.3 mm in thickness. We could go even further and say that it\u2019s one of the best-looking phones ever made. <\/span><\/p>\n

Spec-wise, the OnePlus 5T has a relatively big 6.0\u201d display, but let\u2019s not forget about those slim bezels, which make the phone easy to use with just one hand. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 835 chipset, alongside 8 or 6 GB of RAM, depending on the market, while the internal storage capacity can count 128GB or \u2018just\u2019 64. In terms of camera, it has a dual setup, with a 16 MP + 20 MP duo, as well as a 16MP front-mounted snapper. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, let\u2019s not forget about the 3300mAh battery, which delivers some great performance according to a big part of its buyers. <\/span><\/p>\n

LG V30S Thinq<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"LG<\/p>\n

Finally, if you\u2019re still looking for the thinnest phone and none of the models above are what you really want, you might as well check out the LG V30S Think, the revamped version of last year\u2019s V30. Basically, it looks exactly the same, with the same slim design, measuring just 7.3mm in thickness. However, the real update is under the hood. <\/span><\/p>\n

The phone features a 6.0\u201d display, while at the core is a Snapdragon 835, with its eight cores, and 6GB of RAM. The phone is available in two versions, the V30S+, with a whopping 256GB of internal storage, as well as a regular V30S, with 128 gigs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Camera-wise, it has a dual setup with a 13 MP and a 16 MP sensor, alongside an LED flash for darker environments, while on the front it comes with a basic 5MP camera. Let\u2019s not forget about the battery, whose capacity of 3300mAh is more than enough for a full day of intensive use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we know that when it comes to smartphones, there are tons of models available, especially from not-so-popular manufacturers or some about which we don\u2019t know a lot. And some of them can be very thin, but the build quality is not that better, while the spec sheet situates them in the entry-level category. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, we should mention that we picked only models from reputed manufacturers in our search for the thinnest phone, varying from mid-range models to flagships. <\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully, this list will make your search easier and, if you know any thin phone worth being mentioned here, do let us know about it, using the comments section below.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
