As it turns out, the Modu modular cell phone from an Israeli company of the same name will not only stand out for its interchangeable shells when it launches later this year, it will also claim the title of the lightest cell phone ever made. The company announced its new Guinness World Record on Tuesday.
Modu sets the record with a weight of just 1.41 oz, or 40.1 grams. By comparison, an Apple iPhone weighs about 135 grams, and a Motorola RAZR V3 hits 99 grams. The Modu is also exceptionally slim: just 0.3 inches deep.
