Getting the thinnest phone of the bunch doesn't mean a lot to me. As long as the phone is about 1cm or thinner and has a good battery life, that's the main thing I look for in a form factor.

On such a thin device, I would start to seriously worry about stresses on the frame and not accidentally bending it.

Personally, ~10mm is thin enough. Much thinner than that, the edges start digging into flesh when you squeeze it by the edges, which is not particularly comfortable when holding a device for several minutes at a time.

I have a friend who accidentally bent his ipod touch fifth gen, and that is 6.1mm, and a lot shorter besides! The screen eventually lifted off the frame, which was bent about 5 degrees.

I know I'm an outlier, but I'd rather have a phone that's three times thicker but has a removable battery... :/

I'd rather it be as thick as regular smartphones. But with massive battery life. We were getting close to a month on the old fangled phones. Now we are back to a day, possibly two if you don't use it much.

Those chinese phones look incredibly appealing, wish we would get that brand over here.

Is there really any practical advantage of shaving a millimeter off a smartphone other than for marketing purposes? The average user just wants more battery life. And how about waterproofing phones? ~90-95% of smartphones from Japan are waterproof, why are we so far behind?

Only 2300 mAh battery = not interested

You think we can get this shit in Australia? At the rate out GVT is going, we might have 100mbit by 2020.

That sounds alot like the the MT6592 processor by Mediatek,so it'll be Octacore not quad core. And the Vivo was 5.75mm, otherwise at 7.7 it wouldn't be the previous champ.
