No, this isn't the world's thinnest phone thanks to Alcatel (http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/07/alcatel-one-touch-idol-ultra/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) and BBK (http://www.engadget.com/tag/vivox1/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget), but Oppo's recently announced R809T is still a seemingly attractive device judging by the above official image. Measuring at 6.93mm thick (instead of the rumored (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/10/oppo-6-13mm-quad-core-smartphone/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) 6.13mm), we're surprised that Oppo didn't set this to be the follow-up to the Finder (http://www.engadget.com/tag/oppo,finder/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget): sure, it's 0.28mm thicker, but it also aces the latter with a 4.7-inch 720p in-cell display, a 1.2GHz quad-core chip with 1GB RAM (likely MediaTek's Cortex-A7-based MT6589 (http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/11/mediatek-launches-worlds-first-quad-core-cortex-a7-soc-we-go-h/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) SoC), Android 4.2 and a sorely missed 3.5mm headphone jack -- so no micro-USB adapter required. Then there's also an 8-megapixel main camera plus an increasingly common 2-megapixel, 88-degree wide front-facing imager, which is obviously no match for the 5-megapixel counterpart on Oppo's Ulike 2 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ulike2/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget).

Pricing and availability have yet to be announced, but given the "T" in the model name, chances are it'll only work on China Mobile's TD-SCDMA network, anyway; unless you really don't mind using just GSM. Close-up shot after the break.
