The Thinnest Smartphone in the World.

What to study

Scale & Specificity

  • Held edge-on, the phone almost disappears into a single line, which is the claim proven in one look.
  • The face behind sits blurred so nothing competes with that sliver of metal.
  • The title never names the model, leaving one more thing to learn inside.
How the packaging works
Title

The title claims a world record and withholds which phone holds it.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail shows the phone edge-on, thin as a line, with the face defocused behind it.

Remix this

When one measurement is your whole story, stage the photo so the measurement is visible without numbers. Focus on the object, blur everything else, and hold back the name if you can.
