Slimmest smartPhone to buy : Gone are the days when you used to carry a heavy bar phone. Still people used to reckon you to be smart and trendy. But the meaning of smartness has been changed with the emergence of newly developed technology. You might have heard this already : Slim in the new sexy.
One after another, companies like Oppo, Vivo and Micromax have been innovating in their technologies and slimming down the thickness of the smartphones without cutting edges. However, the battery capacity of these smartphones can be seen inferior to the other mobiles coming even in the less price range.
I would quit my jobs, buy one of these phones, keep them charged and stick to the charger port to keep the phone alive, if I were in the chips.
But the battle is on.
But if you live in an atmosphere [place] where you always have a charging port around, you will never regret buying any of these slim phones on account of having less battery capacity. Another option is to keep a high capacity power bank in your pockets.
OMG sarcasm. 😛

It measures 148.90 x 74.50 x 4.85 (height x width x thickness) and weighs 155.00 grams.
I would list it the second slimmest smartphone in the world that you can rely upon. Many more chinese brands claim their smartphones to be the slimmest smartphone followed by Vivo X5 Max but those names are not reliable enough. And I am not very likely to buy any of those slim phones even if they are fit for my pocket.
Oppo has a brand value that I/you can easily trust.
MicroMax Canvas Sliver 5 (5.09mm)
