The headline is the thickness. The interesting part is how it was achieved: a two-layer logic board folded over itself, a battery that trades some capacity for a flatter cell and a modem placed where the headphone jack used to live a decade ago.
Repairability score
Not great. Glued display, soldered storage and a battery that requires removing the camera module. The maker says it will offer a mail-in replacement programme. Independent repair shops are less optimistic.
Key takeaways
- Folded dual-layer board saves a millimetre
- Battery chemistry trades capacity for thinness
- Repair requires removing the camera
