And what about Motorola Droid RAZR and Huawei Ascend P1 S? I’m pretty sure there is one more phone thinner than 7.6mm. I don’t remember its name though.

Cheap iPhone 1 clone with better specs than the iPhone 4s? That is an interesting sentiment… XD

I agree. iPhone 5 is thinnest all round at 7.6mm. The Oppo Finder aka cheap iPhone 1 clone… is 8.1mm at thickest point.

Good point, but not good enough. Even with the camera bump, Oppo Finder is just 7.1mm thick as against 7.6mm on iPhone 5.

This claim is based on the fact that the iPhone 5 is thinnest all-around. The camera bump on the Oppo Finder and all other phones mentioned in this article are greater that 7.6mm (I used a little image editing and extrapolate judging by the width of the rest of the Oppo Finder a couple weeks when pondering this very question). Phones dimensions need to be judged at their thickest point. This not only makes logical sense (otherwise you could make a phone that tapers to 1mm and call it the thinnest phone), but it is also what the UK’s Advertising Standards Authority ruled regarding the iPhone 4 being the thinnest phone at the time even though the Samsung Galaxy S was generally thinner, except for it’s hump.

So, in summary. The iPhone 5′s thickest point is thinner than the Oppo Finder’s thickest point. Therefore it is a valid claim. Some people may debate and say that humps and camera bumps shouldn’t count, but that ends up being a matter of opinion. At the end of the day, if there was a 7.61mm crack you needed to slide a phone through, only one phone would make it, and that is the point they are making.

Another craphone for Apple “fanbois”. I bet it will suck as other models does before. A phone that Apple will tell you what to do with it.
