DHAKA: China-based OPPO recently unveiled R5, the thinnest smartphone of the world, measuring 4.85mm only.

The phone is too slim to fit a traditional headphone jack.

Although OPPO R5 mobile phone is super thin, it comes with the same hardware specifications as its thicker competitors, including a 5.2-inch 1080p screen, 2GB internal memory, and a 1.5GHz octa-core processor.

The term “octa-core” means the phone’s processor has eight different parts, known as “cores” that can each handle separate tasks, meaning it should be able to perform multitasks at the same time.

Despite being the slimmest phone in the world, the OPPO R5 comes with a larger battery of 2000 mAh.

There’s also a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front camera.

The phone is set to roll out globally in December, and it’ll cost $499.
