Despite the great variety of phones that are available at the moment there are still some concepts that seem to be very improbable. The Soft Phone concept by designer Quin Jiang is probably one of the most incredible ones.
To understand better the main idea of given concept imagine a phone made from cotton. It’s very soft, pliable, and light, yet never compromising on power or performance. The Soft Phone is based on the electronic cellulose structures; however its functionality is high enough to satisfy customers’ needs.
As for the whole structure of the phone it represents a series of discs with electronic fabric stretched in between. The interface uses a combination of tactile gestures like squeezing to hang-up and touching, which detects a deformation on the surface to register input. The fibers are fine enough and optically clear allowing light energy to pass through to display simple contextual menus. The cell antenna, battery, camera, and micro electronics are contained inside a tiny clip which itself is made of soft, squeezable, stress-reducing silica. The Bluetooth earphones have a special slot that makes them easy to clip on the wire. Then the wire would charge the earphones via Electromagnetic Induction Technology.
Whenever you need a full QWERTY just unfurl the collapsible structure. Moreover if 3G net is strong one day, Soft Phone with the powerful information receiver will become popular without the memory card.
Given concept being so innovational will probably be to users’ taste. I hope it will be possible soon to test it.
Some experts think that in near future we will go back to using simple devices. Even now there is a growing tendency to produce less functional, but very original things. This happens because there are people who don’t pay much attention to the amount of functions that a device has and the only criterion while buying something is design of the gadget. Cell phones are not an exception.
The given gadget is just of that kind. It’s absolutely different from all the things that you’ve seen before. Its novelty consists in the fact that there are no buttons at all. Instead of them it has holes. So to “push” a button you just need to stick your finger into the hole. This concept has a small display where dialing/calling numbers, time and date are indicated. It also has a phone book in order to simplify number dialing. In case you want to change any configurations you need to insert your finger into the “menu” hole. As you realize it’s very thin. Actually there is no information about its battery, but according to the small number of functions it’s possible to conclude that such a cell phone will be able to work for quite long on one charge.
Thus, those people who are bored with all the camera phones and smartphones can choose this gadget in case they want to use something simple and unusual. Moreover, it will be probably sold at quite a reasonable price. Yet, some may say that its lack of functions will force them to throw it away just in some days.
Nowadays different cell phone producing companies make a lot of efforts to prolong battery life of their products. But despite the fact that some of them achieved quite significant results in this domain, it’s still impossible not to charge your cell phone at all. Yet Ricardo Baiao is sure that an absolutely new approach to the problem helps to find the best solution. His idea is based on the usage of kinetic energy to charge the phone. Something of that kind is used in the kinetic watch.
Thus, the Atlas Kinetic Cell Phone concept focuses on “green” technologies without sacrificing design. It’s all made just of two materials: aluminum and glass. The central sapphire glass reveals the generating and charging unit. Power comes from kinetic energy similar to that found in watches that use oscillating weight to power mainspring. Due to the power source of this gadget it contains only basic features. So there is no digital camera, mp3 player, Dictaphone, games and so on. But in case the phone runs out of power because it was at rest for too long, the only thing you have to do is to give it a few upside down turns to get the kinetic rotors going again.
It seems that with this kinetic cell phone you will never have to worry about batteries. Yet before buying such a device think if you are ready to sacrifice all the functions that you have been accustomed to. A very original design of this gadget will probably contribute a lot to the final decision making.
The market of the exclusive cell phones develops no slower than that of usual ones. The reason for this consists in the fact that many reach and famous people prefer to buy very expensive cell phones of limited editions. Generally the only thing that distinguishes these original devices from traditional ones is their first-class design. An absolutely new cell phone by Chanel represents one of such exclusive devices.
The gadget called the Chanel Choco phone is a cell phone that has been designed by Fred de Garilhe. It works by “integrating an optical fiber system that displays image between two glass parts. There are 12 micro lighter fibers that project image components to the glass, enabling thus quite a good luminosity, and keep the mobile phone concept as light as possible. But all the lights appear just when you open the phone by pushing removable part on the side of it.” In addition to this given cell phone looks incredibly great standing for Madame Coco Chanel’s superb design sense. Actually on the first glance the gadget doesn’t seem to be a phone at all. When it is closed, it looks more like a piece of chocolate, but made from white, black, or yellow gold surface.
Thus, given cell phone has every prospect to success. Moreover, I think that it will be desired by many people, despite its price that will probably be quite a high one, because nothing of this kind has been created before.
To ensure the efficient functioning of your cutting-edge cell phone you need a lot of different devices (such as: charger, Bluetooth headphones, speakers and so on). Of course it’s not a trouble to get them, more by token, that the majority of these devices are generally available with the cell phone. Yet the problem is about the possibility to lose some of them. Moreover some people do not like “boring” devices that perform just a single function. That’s why a group of Korean designers invented a new all-in-one gadget.
This concept made in the form of a small cube is named MCube. It performs a lot of functions and can be used as a wireless charger, Bluetooth speaker, and information display. The only thing you should do is to place your mobile near the MCube. Using short range induction technology, your cell phone gets charged while all the information like date, time, messages, and caller ID are transferred to the MCube’s built-in display. What’s more, the touch controls on the gadget enable you to access your mobile’s music files and play them with the help of built-in speakers via Bluetooth.
Thus it’s not a device that can be used outside while you are driving a car or walking on the street. However, due to its great design, usefulness, and functionality it is a kind of gadget that you should have at home in order to make the usage of your cell phone easier and more pleasant.
Sometimes looking at the great variety of all those high-end cell phones it seems that nothing more can be designed. However the creativeness of modern designers and engineers shows that the previous statement has nothing common with the reality. Thus, according to the latest news NEC will produce absolutely innovative liquid-powered cell phones in the near future.
At present given gadget is just a prototype, so there is no possibility to mention all the novelty’s features. Yet, this NEC liquid flask cell phone seems to be the combination of being liquid-powered and touchscreen. It means that the liquid inside will drain as you are using the phone, allowing you to see just how much power left. It sounds incredibly, isn’t it? As usually, nothing said about the future price of the concept, but as NEC informs it is going to be released sometime in 2008. Of course it’s hard to imagine what functions this phone will be able to perform but according to the given picture it won’t have even a usual digital camera. If so, this will be a “slight” disadvantage of this gadget.
In case all the mentioned features are true, the demand for this flask phone will be very impressive, because quite a significant amount of people will want to buy such an original and unusual device. At the same time all those who like this concept should hope that it will not be a Japan-only release.
Despite the great variety of phones that are available at the moment there are still some concepts that seem to be very improbable. The Soft Phone concept by designer Quin Jiang is probably one of the most incredible ones.
