Actually, according to both caliper photos, it is somewhere between 3.8 and 3.9mm thick. Just a quick course in reading caliper (for mm measures): Actual measure is where the 0 on the bottom tab points. In this case it is between 3 and 4mm, so we get 3 and some more. Decimal part is where the line above the number from the bottom tab precisely coincides with any line from the main part. In this case it happens somewhere between 8 and 9 on the bottom tab, so we get 3.8-3.9mm. I cannot state more accurately because image gets a bit blurry. Because of inaccurate measurements I think it is fake.

              I reside in Mumbai, and Mumbai is a very crowded place.
              Daily I have to win a war for 2 hours travelling from one point to another via a viz. And such thin phone cannot handle such huge pressure which is build by such rush push crowd.

                this one definitely won't survive in my pocket....!
