27 Creative and Futuristic Cell Phone Concept designs ...

Technology is growing at a drastic rate. Whats new today, is obsolete tomorrow. Lets be honest, we can never live without cell phones. Its what we live and roam around with everyday. As User Interaction becomes more and more demanding these days, the technology has to cope up. We have seen the evolution of Mobile phones from the day it was first realized. They have been flooded with features which we never thought could be possible and it continues to progress. Cell Phones are becoming thinner and offer more aesthetic value than anything else. Newer dimensions of user interaction are being tested every day. Some phones have no buttons and are equipped with multi-touch screens, accelerometers, audio systems, video systems and hundreds of other media and productivity features. Perhaps the term ‘Smart Phones’ is a best way to decribe them considering manner in which it is evolving. Today’s phone boasts in offering wide screen experience, sourround sound, seamless integration and what not. But as designers we are bound to imagine what our future might look like. Visualizing how our gadgets might shape up in the coming 5 to 10 years is always intriguing. So, in this article I have showcased over 25 creative and futuristic cell phone concepts which will definitely amaze you and put your imaginative minds at work. Take a look: 1) Mobile Script It has two touch screen (small and large), which provide the best access to information and provide a wide field of communications, such as Video link, Ability to view movies, Using the browser, Targeting areas with the help of internet services. All of these functions is more convenient to use on a large screen, which is located inside the phone in the collapsed state. 2) Magic Stone The revolutionary approach lies in the fact, that a customer can model absolutely any shape of the mobile phone’s case, with absolutely any color and different patterning and pictures on it through an internet page with the help of a simplified scheme. 3) NaNokia by Mac Funamizu I don’t know what it is about Apple fanboys, but they can’t stand to see good design without their beloved logo glowing affectionately on the back. The designer, Mac Funamizu, drew on the Nokia Aeon to design a phone he would like to have, complete with Apple’s standard livery. Using a nondescript tactile feedback technology, its surface adapts to different purposes while the e-ink screen envelops the phone in graphics and information. 4) Sony Simplicity Concept The Sony Simplicity Concept is a mobile phone, just a phone, nothing else. It’s made for people that don’t need the modern functions like SMS, Organizer, Camera, E-Mail, surfing and so on, it’s made for people that just want to communicate via phone. Just like in the good old days. 5) Wrist Phone The Wrist Phone is a simple, non pretentious phone and is a very basic device that is devoid of the fancy stuff. This makes its cheap to manufacture and market. Another point in its favor is the portability factor; you can simply wrap it around your wrist. Leaving the connectivity issues aside, the phone has the potential to make its mark. 6) Kambala mobile phone with a Earphone Don’t get so confused, the Kambala is a mobile phone that transforms to 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! A continuous flexi-screen with plenty of sensors makeup the surface and it has the ability to transmit the image on the inside of the phone to the outside. It even does a chameleon act by blending in with your skin tone when you clip it to your ear. 7) Nokia 888 Concept Phone A personal mobile communication device which lets you be free and fun. It is light, simple and carefree. You can change its form according to your needs during the day. You dont have to carry it in your pocket or on your wrist. You can carry it anywhere, in anyform. You can roll it, bend it, put on your clothes like a clip. It also makes some form changes that makes it more ergonomical. 8 ) Smart Phone 9) The Window Phone Concept The “Window Phone” makes accurate predictions and even changes its display to reflect the climatic conditions outdoors. 10) Solar Powered Sticker Phone The concept behind the Sticker Phone is quite simple; most of us tend to place our mobile phone near windows for better signal reception. So this concept takes it a step further by adding a solar panel to the back of the phone and giving it a slight arch so that it can stick (via suction) to the window glass for some sunshine. 11) Dial Phone The trend in concept phones these days is turning retro, which is why we have the “Dial” reminisce the era of the round-dials on phones. The difference however lies in the present concept being touted as a fashion accessory that can be crafted in the metal of choice; giving you the luxury of being, chic, sporty, or uber-rich. A projected light beam in the inner circle impersonates the rotary dial, but to dial a number you need to simply touch it. Quite interesting. 12) Velocity Mobile Concept 13) The Braille Phone It’s got raised and lowered portions to create braille using what’s called Electric Active Plastic (EAP!) Several different modes can be activated: text, braille numbers, roman-character numbers, and off (all lowered.) It can send and receive phone calls and texts, displaying texts in braille in the space normally reserved for a screen on the average phone. 14) Trou Hologram Mobile Phone Trou Hologram Mobile Phone relies totally on 3D holograms being projected in the vacant display area. Tiny projectors line the inner surface of the hollow and bring to life the many aspects of the technology. Imagine seeing 3D maps of a particular area or your girlfriend’s hologram when she calls! 15) Sound Horizon Easter Moai Concept Here’s a phone that’s intuitive, functional and sleek; people let’s scrutinize the Easter Moai. It wouldn’t be a futuristic phone, if it didn’t have a touchscreen LCD! For convenience, all the function keys are reserved to the slant edge, which I think is brilliant. The face has just the essentials slated to the corner edge, giving the much needed screen-space that most people demand these days 16) KRE8, a DJ Phone Are you one of those musically inclined people who love to jam at the drop of a hat? Designer Jose Tomas DeLuna thinks that there is a market for the creative music junkies who like to mix their music on the go. As a result he has conceptualized KRE8, which is mobile phone but has plenty of musically enhanced features. It’s a device that bridges musical creativity and communication. 17) Namfley 18) LG Burst The LG Burst is a projector phone designed to enhance the mobility and functionality of the traditional touch screen phone. Using specialized software to distort and compress the touch space image display, Burst projects images onto any flat surface. 19) Wild Fold Phones Here Mac Funamizu takes the idea of the Samsung Flexible OLED and applies it to several conceptual phones. 20) Glassy Phone 21) Mobile Projector Phone Made of polycarbonate that is highly durable, insulating and energy saving with a graphite sheet to increase heat conductivity to dissipate heat. The edge is made of aluminum to enhance heat radiation away from the projector module and function keys. In another words, this thing would get hot! 22) Gigaset EcoVision The “Gigaset Eco Visions” “Leaf” and “Solar” are made of recyclable raw materials, such as eco-plastic and liquid wood. Sun-light is used as a natural energy source for handsets. 23) Ply Phone Each section is tabbed to core functions like a dialpad, keyboard, gamepad, touchscreen, pico project, and printer! Will it ever see the light of day? Hard to say. Miniaturizing some of those proposed functions seems beyond what science and technology can achieve now but never underestimate kooky designers and crafty engineers. 24) Timbercalls Designers Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee have created a camera phone concept covered in thin wooden film. With the now requisite inclusion of touch sensitive buttons that light up just below the surface. This “Maple Phone” design measures 4.5 x 10.4 x 9.8 cm and slides open for more multi-media applications. With a soft, natural touch, this phone hopes to bridge that coveted emotional bond. 25) Eclipse Intuit Phone It’s got all the basic stuff we’ve come to expect from our mobiles; powerful 5 megapixel camera with built-in software for editing and uploading to a photo album, slide-out touch keyboard with tactile feedback, and a nice big touchscreen front and center. What makes this concept unique is parts of the phone are made from a chemically based thin solar skin to charge the battery when exposed to any kind of light 26) Fruit Tray Cell Phone The concept of alternate arrangement is how designer Timo Wong arrived at the design of CELLS. The design mimics the contours of a typical fruit tray. The number keys are not separated by straight lines, boxes or circles but by alternating contours on one single surface. 27) SeeSaw Mobile Phone This phone has got everything a modern phone has. You’ve got the high contrast OLED display. You’ve got the really thin form factor. And then there’s the number key pad and soft keys sitting nearly flush with the surface. But what’s really interesting is the bulge protruding from its center-back, hiding a camera and flashlight. Lay it on a table and the screen stays angled just enough so legibility isn’t an issue. Put a Pokemon on either side and watch it seesaw. Well, those were the most creative futuristic phone concepts I could find. Which one do you think might enter production in the near future.
