Domestic
phone maker,
TCL have just unveiled their super
thin TCL S850, the world's thinnest
Android phone!
While bigger brands snatch the
headlines at
CES,
TCL have quietly unveiled their
new top-of-the-range dual-core
Android phone. Named the
TCL S850, the
new phone might only pack an
MT6577 processor, but it does so in an ultra
thin 6.45mm body!
Previously the Vivo X1 held the world thinnest title at 6.55mm, and before that there was the
Oppo Finder 3 at 6.65mm!
Despite it's super
thin body the
TCL S850 still manages to house hardware which much thicker
phone are only just handling such as an 8 mega-pixel rear camera, 1.2ghz dual-core
MT6577 CPU, 1GB RAM and 16GB of built-in memory.
And don't think
TCL have skimmed on the screen as the
S850 has a AMOLED 4.7-inch display with 1280 x 720 HD resolution!
Saying a
phone is the
worlds thinnest at just 6.45mm really doesn't sound as impressive as actually seeing just how
thin the device is with your own eyes. Just look at the thickness of the
S850 below! the
SIM card slot only just fits on their!
Speaking of the
SIM,
TCL have gone for a micro
SIM which are still more widely available than the smaller Nano model and supports WCDMA and GSM networks.
Other highlights include the inclusion of
TCL's own T-cloud storage incase onboard storage isn't enough, plus TCL's own custom UI, which I think looks pretty darn good and runs on Jelly Bean 4.1.
Pricing is yet to be announced but judging by Vivo's pricing for their super
thin phone we wouldn't be surprised to see the
TCL S850 be priced at 2400 Yuan ($385).
