It's a title which changes hands every few months and the next handset in line to be crowned the "world's thinnest smartphone" could well be the Huawei P6-UO6.
The Huawei P6 hasn't been officially announced yet but apparently it's already appeared at China's equivalent of the FCC, revealing specs and a couple of pictures.
While specs such as a 4.7-inch HD display, 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, Android Jelly Bean and 5MP camera won't exactly set the heart racing, it's the dimensions of the P6 which pique our interest.
Wafer thin
According to the leaked details the handset - which could arrive on the market as the Huawei Ascend P6 - measures 132.6 x 65.5 x 6.18mm.
At 6.18mm in depth it would make the P6 the thinnest smartphone around, with the iPhone 5 looking porky in comparison at 7.6mm and the current leader, the Alcatel Idol Ultra, comfortably beaten at 6.45mm.
Huawei did hold the thinnest phone title for a while after it launched the Huawei Ascend P1S at MWC 2012, which came in at 6.7mm.
We've contacted Huawei to find out if the P6 does indeed exist, or if this is just a fabricated rumour. We'll update this article once we hear back.
