The at-home communication station designed by Nils Siegel is a very conventional mobile phone concept whose looks belie its inherent uniqueness. The phone shows its exceptional multi-functional character only when secured to the dock at home. The charging station erupts to life with a smiling face to let you chat with your near and dear ones, share messages far and wide and engage in a host of other interactive activities, making the whole experience so full of fun and excitement all from your home.
In recent years, we have not seen any gadget or device changing as rapidly as a cellphone, which has come a long way, from a custom wireless handset to a hi-tech touchscreen mobile phone, to confer the user with some of the most recent technologies to enhance their experience. While we haven’t even enjoyed the touch sensitive functions fully, Chinese designer Tao Ma has come up with a cellphone concept that runs on runs on a custom AA battery to prolong your chatter without any hindrance. Dubbed the “Rollphone,” the compact cellphone as depicted by its name is a rollable handset with a flexible display that rolls into smaller size to slip neatly into your pocket. Claimed to be the shortest cellphone ever, the Rollphone looks like a camera film that you may either put in your pocket or hang it on your wrist/belt like a key ring. Moreover, users can enlarge the screen, from 45mm to 75mm, to see a video clearly on a big screen.
Conceived by Mexican designer Veronica Eugenia Rodriguez Ortiz, the “Yuxa” is a cellphone concept that you can wear around your wrist like a watch or a bracelet. Removing the sound with vibration, the wearable cellphone works with Bluetooth technology, which the user need to remove from the wrist to make a call. Made from ecological materials such as plant fibers and biodegradable plastic, the green gadget features an OLED display and rechargeable battery that flattens its shape with the wrist movement of the user. You can set vibrations at different frequencies for different users. In short, the Yuxa allows an altogether new way of communication.
With Samsung and company outing 3D televisions for home viewers and China loving 3D newspapers, it’s not too farfetched to picture the technology being used in laptops and mobile phones. Focusing on the use of 3D in cellphones, Petr Kubik has designed this all-in-one-piece that includes the glasses, intuitive stylus and expandable screens. The 3D apps support 3D movies and camera plus allow you to make surreal calls with family and friends that pop outta the screen!
The technology-driven world of today is highly dependent on devices such as mobile phones to keep us in contact with our relatives and friends. While some people are rich enough to own the latest and most feature-rich phones on the market today, others still dream about owning a cellphone one day. Designer Julia Schlegel seems to have an answer for such people. She has developed a concept phone dubbed the SoleCall, which is powered by solar panels plastered on its rear side.
