I do not get this fetish about thin phones. There is a point where going slimmer does not get users any advantage, and it has quite a few disadvantages:
* less volume for the battery, you will need to keep recharging the phone every day
* less space for optics in the camera, pictures will look worse than they could
* the phone assembly will be less rigid, welcome bent devices and cracked screens
Everybody I know who bought these thin large phones, ended up putting them in silicone sleeves or cases, anyway...
You are right that squeezing everything in smaller and thinner frame is harder, but it can be done and end result is really good if done correctly - don't you find it amusing that iPhone 6S has smaller battery than most of it's android rivals, but still it outperforms them in both battery life AND raw performance? Not to mention camera performance which is also good despite the thin design. Of course, it's harder to do if you try to sell cheap and still make a margin.

Some interesting unbox pictures.
The thickness has no problem at all. I doubt with the idea of "the thinner the better", guess it was invented by apple for brainwashing fanboys. To me, if it's below 13-15 mm, the thinner the worse. N950's thickness is about perfect.
iBoys carries a portable charger or "pregnant" battery case and are proud that the phone is 2mm thinner than average. Who cares?

They can't see the difference between SFOS 1 and 2 themselves perhaps, at least not for the guys design package.

Just a heads up,
@sifartech on TJC started an initiative to send Aqua Fishys abroad!
Apparently he has some experience with using escrow, a mediated payment service and is evaluating how to buy and send out phones technically.
Already 28 people interested to participate.

A not that uncommon tactic among ebay/buy & sell scammers is to convince unwitting sellers to accept the use of an "escrow service" to mediate payment, with the service in reality just being a fake website they've set up themselves, thus getting the product from the seller without actually being out of any real money.
Not saying this is the case here (and it would kind of need to operate in a reverse manner), just a friendly reminder that it's good to be vary.

What is the escrow service to be used?
You transfer money to them, seller gets info it is available and starts material transaction.
If the good arrives at the customer, he is asked to release the money to the seller. If there is no dispute, Escrow releases the money to him.
It actually is a disadvantage for @sifartech, because he will have to pay everything upfront or do special deals with his partners to supply us with phones in the first place.
One thing you as a custumor will pay in any case is the ~10% escrow fee. But i don't think sifartech is suspected to be working for them
