One of the indicators that manufacturers are constantly trying to improve is the thickness of the smartphone. The tacit battle for the title of the thinnest and lightest apparatus is ongoing. Five years ago, gadgets with a thickness of 8-10 mm were called ultra-thin. Today they cannot even come close to this group. New models even in the inexpensive price segment have a thickness of up to 7.5 mm. This reduction in size has been made possible by the development of technologies that allow the production of components of almost microscopic dimensions. Until recently, Chinese manufacturers held the palm in this regard, and now devices from A-brands have also acquired thin cases. We have found the thinnest smartphones that you can easily buy in Russia.

The smallest iPhone with up-to-date hardware. It is no thicker than other 2020 models with an apple logo on the back, but it has better ergonomics. The screen is much smaller than that of peers, but the productive force is close in value. So, it uses the same processor as the older brothers, but in the case of the "Mini" it is with reduced frequencies. The amount of memory is enough for any tasks, and the stock is enough for several years. If you are looking for a small iOS smartphone with a slim body and an up-to-date OS version, this representative of our top will be the best choice.

Surprisingly thin smartphone with a powerful filling and good multimedia performance. The device is not frameless, but the side frame of the AMOLED screen has elegant dimensions. The main trump card of this model is the selfie camera.There are two front modules from Sony with 24 megapixels in total. The second module is endowed with a wide-angle lens with a 120-degree field of view. There is also a flash and the ability to shoot video in 3840x2160 (4K) format. With a thickness of only 6.85 mm, the manufacturer managed to “shove” decent iron inside. The screen is also pleasing - the AMOLED matrix boasts the correct black color and adequate brightness settings, both manual and automatic. The sound is also excellent, both from the speakers and from the headphones.

A smartphone with iOS 10 on board, a compact screen and the once-traditional Apple round key below the screen. In terms of dimensions, the model is similar to the iPhone 6s, but the performance is higher here. Non-standard colors of the metal case with glass inserts appeared in the assortment. Water protection here is IP67. The reviews pay attention to the quality of the touchscreen. The sensor is responsive, the oleophobic coating is on top. Sound is another advantage over competitors in the same price range. The 3.5 mm mini-jack is no longer here, so take care of it right away and buy wireless headphones or an adapter. To charge your phone and listen to music on wired headphones at the same time, you will need a splitter.This is one of the best smartphones in the thin body.
- The thinnest case
- Compact dimensions

- Turns off spontaneously in cold weather

One of the best smartphones with a thin body. It is not completely metal, but with a glass insert on the back panel. The performance is such that you won't have to wait long for a moderately resource-intensive application to launch. The processor installed here is not quite suitable for games, but it pulls casual toys, puzzles, arcade games without lags. There is a lot of built-in memory, and you do not have to periodically clean up the photo album. As for the support of Google services, the first time you turn it on, you will see the Android 9 interface, and the Play Market will be in place. The camera shoots well, even late at night in the light of lanterns.

One of the thinnest smartphones from the Chinese company Huawei. The device is extremely comfortable in the hand - due to the optimal screen size, elongated shape, frameless design and thin body. The manufacturer has reduced the battery capacity, but what is left is enough so that you do not have to look for a charger in the middle of the working day - as a rule, the resource is enough for a full day. An important caveat - the phone runs on Android 9 and does not support Google services. Everyone who consciously bought this model did not regret their decision: the reviews say that the lack of GMS is compensated by third-party app stores and branded ones from the vendor.
- Optical stabilization of the front camera
- fast charging
- Convenient dimensions
- No google services
- slippery hull

One of the best smartphones, which is endowed with the thinnest body. Almost everything is praised in the reviews: both the screen (detailed, with a high pixel density, large viewing angles and a huge margin of brightness), and the camera (a large selection of applications, excellent photos in good light). The performance is not very high, but it is enough for everyday use cases, but the device is not quite suitable for gaming. However, you can run even heavy games, but don't even count on average FPS and graphics. Particular attention in the reviews is paid to the ergonomics of this Honor - it is surprisingly comfortable and well adapted for one-handed operation.

- Stylish case
- Frameless screen
- Weak battery
- Main camera distorts colors

One of the thinnest smartphones that runs Android 11 out of the box. It has a fairly powerful battery, if you remember that the body is especially thin here. A processor with gaming capabilities is not a flagship, but with a high core frequency. The reviews say that the phone is excellent for its money. It costs several times less than the top models, and is inferior only in performance and some other features like waterproofing and premium design. The camera is good - in addition to good optics, it is endowed with many modes and software things that make shooting easier. For example, eye tracking autofocus, night mode, portrait bokeh and others.
