Umeox X5 could be the world's thinnest smartphone

Umeox is not exactly the most famous smartphone manufacturer in the world, but the company is working on a new Android model that could help it leave its mark on the industry. The Umeox X5 could end up as the world's thinnest smartphone that would even be thinner than the Huawei P6. Expected to be introduced on June 18th, the Huawei model is 6.18mm thin. See the connection? A 6.18mm thin phone getting unveiled on 6-18. But we digress.

The Umeox X5 is even thinner, weighing in at 5.6mm. The pictures below allegedly came from a source inside Umeox who sent pictures of the X5 prototype. The company currently produces the Thomson Mobile brand of Android models in Europe, but if the Umeox X5 does launch with the expected dimensions of 118 x 60 x 5.6mm, you just might hear the Umeox name more often. Besides the dimensions, we hear that the phone will hit the market in July with Android 4.2.2 installed.
