There are two key elements to the Nagisa Phone designed by Mac Funamizu, first is the “dented” keypad, akin to a wavy seabed and the second is the display that literally “turns around the bend”. This time Mac seems to have mellowed in his designing sensibilities and not gone outlandishly futuristic. What’s more, he simply concentrates on beautifying the form; note the rounded back and the slight elevation when laid flat on a table. Apparently Nagisa means beach in Japanese, and this iteration is at its tranquil best.
Variety is the spice of life, be it the tinsel world of fashion, or even the most demanded cell phones, none of them has been left untouched with the change. Though, the technology has left no ground for complaints in the cell phone world, however, we humans still crave for new look. And, if you too are amongst those who love to play with new look each day, the Expressive fashion phone is something you should try your hands on. Designed by Nils Siegel for Siemens Mobile, the phone changes the look just within fraction of seconds with the snap of a button. The curved, touch-sensitive display wraps around the entire device that lets you decide the look depending on mood and personal style. Apart from changing looks, the phone is skilled enough to upload pictures, patterns, movies, and also turn the phone virtually invisible.
Looking more like a mobile chipset the X-RAY for KDDI iida by Tokujin Yoshioka takes a refreshing look at mobile design. The striking appearance based on an idea of “designing from the inside” aims at giving the talking hearing device a beautiful transparent look. Made using a special material, the brand new mobile phone truly exposes the mesh inside that makes communication possible.
The future iPhone is here or at least in conceptual form. Given that size, design and features need to be drastically innovated, the NOT A Phone – Next Generation iPhone, delves into the projection arena. So basically you strap the next-gen iPhone to your wrist and project the display to your palm. You can figure out rest of the drill from the images, so my question to you today is….are we in for projection screens for phones? Is that the future of phone display, have a basic small screen and project the rest of it?
Portability is indeed the basic characteristics of a cell phone, but flexibility is far untouched by most of them. But, designer Fabrice Bardon no longer keeps this aspect an obstacle with his new phone concept dubbed the “Flex iPhone”. The phone is a combination of optimum functionality with a modern design. Worth flaunting is its ability to change the shape as desired by the user that takes the phone design to a new dimension. Apart from its flexibility and great looks, it also features a handset with touch keypad, LCD screen and other assets that one looks for in a phone. Each time the phone rings a discrete light on the screen lights up. Flex iPhone is worth to earn applauds both for the functionality as well as looks.
