Measuring at just 4.85mm—two millimeters slimmer than the iPhone 6—the ‘Oppo R5’ is the world’s thinnest smartphone ever created, and it is a product of a China-based company.



The back of the phone has white plastic antenna strips and a silver aluminum finish that resembles the iPhone 5 and 5s. Its camera is slightly protruding, and it does not even have enough room for a headphone jack—users will have to plug their headphones in through the micro USB port at the bottom of the phone using an adapter.



The sleek phone is currently only available in a few selected countries, the company has yet to announce when it will be rolling out its products to the various markets around the world.



Scroll down, and head over to the website to find out more about the phone’s specifications.
