Now official, the Coolpad lvvi K1 Mini becomes the world's thinnest smartphone at 4.7mm

It looks like a new handset will take the crown as the world's thinnest smartphone. At 4.7mm thin, the Coolpad Ivvi K1 Mini is slimmer than the previous holder of the title, the 4.8mm Vivo X5 Max. Last month, we told you that Coolpad's phone was on the way, and on Tuesday the device was actually unveiled, priced at the equivalent of $200. Available only in white for the moment, more color options are on the way.

While both the Vivo X5 Max and the Oppo R5 (4.85mm thick) are mid to high-end models, the Coolpad handset is low to mid-range. It carries a 4.7-inch screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280. Under the hood is a 64-bit quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor with 1GB of RAM on board and 8GB of native storage inside. An 8MP camera is on back while a 5MP "selfie" shooter adorns the front of the phone. The 1800mAh battery is shoe horned into the handset, which does offer support for 4G LTE connectivity.

According to Coolpad, the camera will include features for the camera including "beauty shots," and algorithms are employed to make sure that your pictures come out looking great. The svelte smartphone also has a remote control capability that allows you to control home appliances like your washing machine, television and A/C.
