There are at least three Android phones thinner than the iPhone 5

Sorry Apple, you guys have a great device in the iPhone 5 but it’s certainly not the world’s thinnest smartphone.  While the 7.6mm thick body sounds incredibly thin and sexy, we’ve already found three Android smartphones that come in thinner.

We’re going to go out on a limb here and say that there will be thinner devices over the next few months.  That said, we’re pretty darn sure that a lot of you would happily add a few millimeters to your phone’s backside if it provided some added talk-time and standby.

Motorola, to their credit, has found a way to marry the two mindsets in the Droid Razr Maxx HD.  With a 3300mAh battery and more than one full day of usage promised, the Verizon handset still comes in at an incredibly thin 9.3mm body.

What did we miss?

Have you encountered another smartphone that we might have missed?
