Meet Thinnest Smartphones in 2025 So Far
Here are some of the thinnest smartphones of 2025, pushing the boundaries of sleek design without compromising performance:
Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ – 5.95 mm
The Infinix HOT 60 Pro+ features a jaw-dropping 5.95mm slim profile, weighing just 155g—and somehow, it still packs a massive 5160mAh battery inside.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – 5.8 mm
Samsung launched its slimmest flagship yet in May 2025. Featuring a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, 200 MP camera, and Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the S25 Edge packs premium features into a titanium body just 5.8 mm thick. It’s a compelling choice for those putting design and portability first.
TECNO Spark Slim – 5.75 mm
Unveiled at MWC 2025, the Spark Slim concept showcases what engineering can achieve: 5.75 mm thin, 146 g, a 5,200 mAh battery, and a 6.78-inch AMOLED display.
Though not yet available for sale, it sets a new benchmark for sleek design without sacrificing battery life.
Apple iPhone 17 Air (Rumored) – ~5.5 mm
Expected in September 2025, leaks suggest the iPhone 17 Air will be Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever, measuring around 5.5 mm.
Despite its slim build, it could include a 6.6″ OLED display, A19 chip, and an optimized battery system, thanks to new silicon-anode tech .
Foldables: Xiaomi, Oppo & Honor
In early 2025, OPPO made history with the Find N5, officially crowned the world’s thinnest book-style foldable phone .
This sleek device not only sets a record—it redefines the future of smartphone design. 8.93 mm when folded, rivalling the thickness of a credit card. Only 4.21 mm thick when unfolded, making it marginally slimmer than any non-foldable device .
Thinness isn’t limited to traditional phones—ultra-slim foldables are making waves too:
- Xiaomi Mix Fold 4 – 4.6 mm unfolded
- Oppo Find N5 – 4.2 mm unfolded
- Honor Magic V3 – 4.4 mm unfolded
These devices blend bigger full-screen experiences with featherweight folded forms, redefining portability.
