Over the years, technology has changed rapidly, and it advances with a geometric progression rather than an arithmetical one. A decade ago, mobile phones weighed and looked like the size of a house brick.
In a blink of an eye, today’s mobile phones are so small and thin that they could even be placed in your chest pocket. And we are still not contented and crave for more impressive features and intuitive interfaces despite the fact that smartphones already have touch-screen interfaces to help us navigate through apps, surf the web, and even indulge in an ultimate gaming experience. For example, imagine yourself driving a sports car on Need For Speed Undercover using the iPhone’s accelerometer.
So what the future of mobile phones will be like? A transparent mobile phone like the one below? Or a multi-sensory phone that works with the sense of smell, sight, hearing and touch? Below are 10 beautiful and creative cell phone concepts that might appear in the next few decades.
Designer Seunghan Song’s Window Phone concept imagines what it would be like to get the weather from your mobile, as intuitively as looking out your window. The glass display of the cell phone would be clear and fresh to look at on a sunny day, and damp and blurry on a rainy or snowy day. To send text messages or make phone calls, simply blow your breath and it goes to a hand writing mode. Pretty amazing, right?
Let your fingers do the talking with Sunman Kwon’s ambitious Finger Touching Wearable Mobile Phone concept, a device that takes the form of a common band wrist but with a small and important twist to it. Using 3.5G or 4G communication standards, the technologies that will let anyone make video calls and a lot more, the laser system integrated in this wrist cell phone harnesses user’s fingers, and transforms them into a 3×4 alphanumeric keyboard.
Designed by Aleksandr Mukomelov, this candybar style cell phone concept acts as both a mobile device and a laptop in your pocket. When you unfurl the flexible OLED display, it stiffens with a low voltage charge, and users will then be able to enjoy features like Internet browsing, working on-the-go, games and communication. This sleek gadget relies on solar power to power instead of batteries. The case is covered in a photo sensitive nano material that converts sun light into energy.
iPhone 4th generation will be out somewhere this summer. Before that happens, Antonio De Rosa has already come up with a pretty sleek and beautiful concept for the iPhone. Touted as “iPhone Pro”, this smartphone runs on the iPhone OS 3.2 and uses a sophisticated mechanism that hides two paddles with LED backlight and touch surface. The front camera on the handset is hidden inside the top paddle, making the iPhone more comfortable for a great gaming experience. It comes complete with a 64GB internal memory, slide-out touch sensitive controls and a MacBook-friendly MagSafe connector.
Eye concept Phone
Packed with a see-through LCD display, this phone allows you to view directly through it, thus providing pretty neat navigational features — simply follow the arrow apparitions through the EYE to get to your destination. What’s cool is that scanning people will immediately take you to their social profiles on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter. This handset also gives users an ultimate 3D gaming experience and offers interactive gaming with sensor — use your hands as controls.
Featuring filofax-style shortcut tabs, this sexy piece of gadgetry designed by Jan Rytir comes complete with the following features: 180×80×20mm dimension, full 47 buttons QWERTY keyboard, OLED touchscreen, trackball, 2 USB slots, microphone and audio input, SD card reader, stereo speakers, docking connector and something unique to this device, 7 completely configurable action buttons.
Je-Hyun Kim’s biodegradable grass cell phone concept, which is made up of hay and other biodegradable materials, was touted as the “Natural Year Phone” in 2008. Designed to last only for the length of its functional life cycle, the grassy green phone biodegrades and pieces apart for easy recycling after two years are up.
Have you encounter a situation when you are carrying several shopping bags with both hands and your mobile phone rings? This is when this really cool conceptual Kambala cellphone comes in really handy. Besides being a mobile phone device that offers call functions, it acts as a earphone as well. Pop the center piece and the earpiece clip pings out; clip this to your ear, and you got a phone-earphone. The use of multilayered polymer ensures all the electronic components are housed within an unbelievably svelte body.
Made of brushed steel mixed with Persian turquoise stones, this amazing Nokia CLIPit mobile phone concept boast a wide range of interesting features, including fingerprint as your SIM and a 12-inch Touch pad-Dot matrix screen. This device is seemingly scheduled for 2010 or so and it hangs on to the user by clipping itself to any clothing, purse or even objects.
The Korean Sky concept is a sleek and slim mobile device that comes with a wonderful luminous blue touchpad. The keypad appears to have a nice slide open cover that has blue OLED lights and some touch sensitive controls.
