World's Thinnest Smartphone Has A New Name: Umeox X5

It’s been just a week, since Huawei, the Chinese manufacturer stunned world with Ascend P6, a Smartphone of just 6.18mm thickness. However Ascend P6 would be sorry to hear about a new shocker from China itself. Named Umeox X5, this Android Smartphone from the manufacturer Umeox comes in a razor thin body of 5.6mm.

Going with the specifications, this 5.3 inch Smartphone will carry an 8 Megapixel primary camera and a 3 MP front camera for self portraits and video calls. The reports suggest that a quad-core processor will be powering this phone which will be running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean.
