Gionee already lays claim to the title of world's thinnest smartphone thanks to the Gionee Elfie S5.5 that was released earlier this year. The Elfie S5.5 came in at only 5.5mm thick and managed to pack in a 1.7 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and a decent 2,300 mAh battery. Gionee seems to enjoy holding the top spot and apparently intends to keep it in their grasp.

According to the latest rumor about an upcoming Gionee smartphone, the G9005, the company is shooting for a thickness of no more than 5.0mm and may even get it down to 4.9mm. Supposedly this will include a Gorilla Glass layer for the screen. No other information regarding specs or other dimensions of Gionee's upcoming device have been revealed yet.
