Before we get into the slim smartphone models, lets take a look at the design journey of smartphones.
Communication – Then
Before mobile phones were launched, people used to communicate through landlines, telephones or even written letters. They often were not reliable, and often delayed the communication. Letters would take too long to deliver and not everyone was privileged enough to have a telephone at home. Gradually, telephones were a common household item.
Communication – Now
The revolution happened when a wireless and electronic device was first introduced. In India, the first mobile call was made using the NOKIA handset. Nokia launched a lot of mobile phones in 1995 and ruled the market for a long period of time. Smartphones came much later after going through several iterations. The first “Android” device was introduced to India in September 2008. We have not looked back since then.
Role of Internet
The Internet has played a vital role in the development of smartphones. With the devices being handy and the internet being accessible, everyone is able to access information easily. Data is available at lower costs, adding to the demand for smartphones. This has created a hunger for information and a rise in alternate job roles as diverse as developers, influencers, digital media professionals, designers, videographers, and even mobile technicians.
The Evolution of World’s Slimmest Phone
With growing internet speed, the hardware of phones and other devices also went through an evolution. With other features, companies started producing what they would like to claim as the ‘World’s Slimmest Phone’. What could be better than good speed, fascinating camera and slim, handy model? Today is the era of comfort. And that’s where slim phone models get room to grow. Also, they look super stylish.
