LG B to be the thinnest Android phone ever (it’s thinner than iPhone 4 anyway)

Florin  By on 16 Dec 10

Back in June, when Apple officially announced the new iPhone 4, Steve Jobs presented it as the thinnest smartphone ever. Well, it looks like it won’t be for long – because LG seems to have one that’s even thinner.

Codenamed LG B for the moment, the smartphone is not yet officially announced, but it has appeared in some photos next to the iPhone 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S (which is also really thin – only 9.9mm).

The handset could be mistaken for the just-announced LG Optimus 2X (the world’s first dual core Android smartphone), but they’re actually different devices.

The LG B seems to feature a 4 inch WVGA ISP LCD that’s brighter than the displays of iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S. Other than that and the fact that it has a 3.5mm headset jack, we don’t know much about the new smartphone. Anyway, check out the photos below (the LG B is in the middle in the first image):

There’s no word on when the LG B will be officially unveiled, but maybe we’ll see it at CES 2011 (January 6 – 9). I’m pretty sure it will be included in the Optimus family when (and if) announced.

    I don’t like this “Thinner. Thinner! THINNER!!!” business. It’s been yeeeeeeeeeears since mobile devices became pocket-friendly. Smartphones simply drop and slide into your pocket with ease. But when I’m actually holding it to my ear, I want some comfortable grip on the thing. The thinner the phone and the bigger your hands, the more impractical it becomes.

    Agreed. I don’t mind if they make the technology thinner, but i’d like to have that lost thickness replaced by a thicker battery.
