Samsung Galaxy A8 is Samsung's slimmest ever phone:
Samsung unveils its slimmest handset to date-a smart phone that is less than 6 mm(0.24in)thick but still has a relatively large capacity battery
The Galaxy A8 is 5.9 mm (0.23in) thick, making it less than 85% the thickness of Samsung's flagship Galaxy S6 Edge.
For now, Samsung has announced only that the phone will go on sale in China and Singapore.
Although it will be the thinnest such device from one of the major manufacturers, other Chinese companies are already selling even more compact Android-powered rivals.
They include:
Vivo X5 Max (4.75 mm)Oppo R5 (4.8 5mm)
Gionee Elife S5.1 (5.1 mm)
One of the challenges of making a handset as thin as the Galaxy A8 is the need to minimise its risk of bending in the user's pocket.

The new Samsung A8 features:
A fingerprint sensorA 4G chip
A 5.7in 1080p high-definition screen
But at 3,199 yuan (£330) it costs considerably more than Xiaomi's bestselling aluminium-framed similar-sized Mi Note, which is about 1mm thicker and 1,100 yuan (£115) cheaper.
