A few weeks back Coolpad teased a phone that could have either had a 4.7-inch phone or be 4.7mm thick, and low and behold the IVVI K1 mini is both!
Coolpad’s IVVI range of phones are aimed at fans of lower cost, stylish devices. They have released a few phones so far, but none really caused a stir until teasers of a 4.7mm phone churned up the smartphone waters.
Oddly TENAA details did corroborate the 4.7mm claims, but now the phone has officially launched we know the official sizes.
Gizchina News of the week
It looks like our prediction for a 4.7-inch, 4.7mm phone from IVVI have come true as that is exactly what was launched earlier today. The 1299 Yuan phone named the IVVI K1 mini receives a ‘baby skin’ smooth textured finish, IR blaster, 5 mega-pixel front camera and 8 mega-pixel rear. The phone is aimed at fans of taking beauty photos and boasts 100 levels of beauty adjustment and a super-pixel mode for 32 mega-pixel photos.
The IVVI K1 mini should be on sale in China ahead of the Chinese New Year.

Is it a headphone jack on the top? It’s half open.
Except it’s not 4.7mm thick lol. Funny how nobody seems able to make an effort and check the info.TENAA even gives you the actual thickness….
It’s 4.7mm at the edge but the back is curved and by that logic one can even go to 0mm thickness.http://www.sinaimg.cn/dy/slidenews/5_t500/2015_06/22298_1173579_642849.jpg
They never report on the real thickness of phones because everyone measures it differently. Some measure it at its thickest point others at it’s thinnest. Some just go by the manufacturers claim.
Did somebody say bezel?
I must agree with you there, it is quite bezelating !
Snapdragon 410, 1Gb/8Gb, 540×960 px, Android 4.4.4, 1800 mAh… and 4.7 mm in the slimmest place. For 1300 yuan?! Coolpad you’re still not a big brand for including brand fee within the price.
yep .. thats what i HATE , brand fees and shit like that :@
While I don’t agree with charging for that much for 3 year old specs but Coolpad is far from an unknown or small brand. Coolpad is the third largest smart phone manufacturer in China and 6th largest world wide.
