At CES in Las Vegas, Huawei will show the Ascend P1 S, which looks like the world's thinnest smartphone at .26-inches (6.68mm) as far as we know — the Droid RAZR measures .28-inches. It has a dual-core 1.5 GHz TI OMAP 4460 CPU running Android 4.0, 1GB of RAM, and a SGX540 graphics processor (same as the Galaxy Nexus) stuffed under a 4.3-inch qHD 960 x 540 Super AMOLED touchscreen protected by Gorilla Glass. That screen could be a weak point with its Pentile pixel pattern. On the front is a 1.3-megapixel camera to complement the 8-megapixel shooter in the rear, and both shoot HD video at 720p and 1080p respectively. With pentaband support and the obligatory Wi-Fi and bluetooth 3.0, the P1 S should meet all your wireless needs. Huawei is also announcing the Ascend P1, a 7.69mm phone whose only difference from the 'S' is a bigger battery at 1800mAh over its thinner sibling's 1670mAh. No price has been set, but both phones should be available in Q2 of 2012.
