Alongside their Smart TV announcement, came the announcement of their newest 4.5″ True HD IPS display smartphone, the LG Spectrum.

Huawei has announced two new smartphones at CES, one of which boasts the title “World’s thinnest smartphone.” Introducing the Ascend P1 and the Ascend P1 S (not much time was spent coming up with those names). The Ascend P1 S (we’re assuming the “S” stand for “slim”) claims the fame of “Worlds’ thinnest smartphone,” and measures a thickness of only 6.68mm. The Ascend P1 is basically the same phone only a tad thicker (perhaps for the LTE market and a larger battery) and both feature:

We’re going to see a lot of automotive electronics at CES this year, and we fully expect Android to be running on a few of these next gen infotainment systems.
