There are smartphones and then there are slim smartphones. With the smartphones increasing in size with passage of time, there’s a need for them getting slimmer in profile. OEMs do realise the fact that the need for slim smartphones is increasing and they want to be ahead of the rest of the pack. Today we have for you a list of 5 smartphones that are slim in profile and not so slim in terms of specs which broke cover at MWC 2014. Let us take a look at that:
