English term or phrase: «candy bar» shaped mobile telephone

Le contexte complet est le suivant : «...super-slim, ‘candy bar’-shaped XYZ ABC mobile phone...»

Je sais que pour «candy-bar phone», le GDT donne «téléphone monobloc», mais ici, je crois devoir décrire vraiment la forme et la dimension de l'appareil... avez-vous déjà vu des expressions du genre «tablette de friandises» ou autres????

Merci!

C'est effectivement bien la description du type d'appareil dont il s'agit et j'ai donc opté pour «monobloc», faute de mieux...

Merci à tous!

décoré peut aussi être remplacé par "tuné" façon candy-bar

alors je conserve "candy bar"

Explanation:
alors qu'une pogae web montrait un mobile phone très tuné, après de nouvelles recherche et la perte de mon browniz (( :(( ) je viens de mettre la main sur une définition (direct from the States..)
"in the past, candy bar-style phones were considered fuller-size phones (compared to flips), and people bought them partially because their ergonomics resembled those of traditional cordless phones"
ainsi,je ne me vois pas de taille à traduire en deux ou trois mots cohérents
