I suppose there is a certain degree of merit when it comes to the kind of superlative in which one describes a particular handset or device, and “thinnest” would often be seen as a “strength”, or a positive pull factor, in this particular case. Well, BLU’s Vivo Air LTE has laid claim to being the thinnest 4G LTE smartphone in the US, measuring a mere 5.1mm thin. I don’t know about you, but when I come across handsets like that, it does feel to me as though they are so flimsy, they could break anytime soon. What do you think?
As for the hardware specifications, the Vivo Air LTE will feature an aluminum chassis, which will run on Android Lollipop right out of the box, in addition to a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, 2GB RAM, 4G LTE connectivity of course, a 4.8” Super AMOLED display at 720 x 1280 pixels resolution, an 8MP shooter at the back, a 5MP camera for selfie lovers, 16GB of internal memory, and a 2,050 mAh battery to keep it chugging along just fine. Expect this handset to arrive later this September 22nd on Amazon, where it will retail as an unlocked device at $199 a pop. [Press Release]
