Move away, Vivo X5 Max, the next thinnest phone in the world is reportedly in the making

Just yesterday we released the results from one of our recent polls, which revealed that most users would pick a thicker smartphone with a big battery over a razor-thin phone with a sub-par battery in a heartbeat. We pointed out the Vivo X5 Max as the current holder of the "thinnest smartphone on the planet" title, but a new razor-thin device with a Chinese passport might be aiming at Vivo's top position in this category.

Have you ever heard of Ivvi, a branch of China-based Coolpad, which turned out to be one of the bigger local smartphone makers? Well, Ivvi seemingly has a 4.7mm-thin phone in the pipeline, which will be just marginally slimmer than the 4.75mm-thin Vivo X5 Max. Still, the numbers don't lie, and Ivvi's offering might receive its place in history.
