Both rival devices claim to be slimmest and thinnest. The Oppo R5 is pretty slim by itself, and then we've seen how thin the Vivo X5 Max is, beating the former handset. That's just 0.1mm slimmer than the OPPO R5.

Both handsets have a similar design as the iPhone 5S, with a brushed aluminum backing and glossy white plastic strips at the top and bottom of the device.

Well, today Oppo indicated that the R5 will be launched in India sometime this month, and not only is it thin, but it's apparently one of the thinnest smartphones you can think off in the world.

The handset comes in at 4.85mm, which again pops up question of how thin is too thin? The Vivo X5 Max, on the other hand, is just 4.75mm thin.

Oppo has created a special cooling element made from liquid-metal and phase-change materials to take heat away from the chipset. The frame of the handset is made of 3D welded aluminum alloy.

First off, the phone has a respectable 5.2-inch AMOLED FHD screen and an octa-core Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.5GHz. It's a Snapdragon 615 processor. However that 64-bit processing won't be usable until the handset gets updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop from its Android 4.4.4 KitKat mobile OS.
