The NEW World’s Thinnest Smartphone: the NEC Medias Headed for Japan
So Apple’s iPhone 4 was introduced as the world’s thinnest smartphone, then LG vowed to trump them with the LG Optimus Black. And now NEC’s getting into this aggressive shoving contest: the NEC Medias is just 7.7mm thin.
To compare, the Galaxy S 2 is 8.49mm, the Optimus Black is 9.2mm, and the iPhone 4 is 9.3mm thin. Those phones are pretty damn thin. And if these pictures are anything to go by, I don’t know if it’s technically possible to get any thinner than this. (With a smartphone, anyway.)
Here are the rest of the specs that make up the NEC Medias:
- size: 127×62×7.7mm
- weight: 105g
- Android 2.2 as the OS
- 4-inch LCD with 854×480 resolution
- 5.1MP camera
- 800MHz CPU
- three buttons on the bottom (from left to right: menu, home, back) plus on/off button at the top left (see pic below)
- digital TV tuner
- e-wallet function
Not amazing, but not horrible. And the size alone may pull a good amount of folks in. [Draft Life with Blog, Datacider via Mobile Crunch]
