10 awesome smartphone concepts that may never exist
We can already do a million and one things with the smart phones in our pockets, but who knows what phones will be able to do in the future. Contact lens phones, gold tooth phones, earring phones – the possibilities are endless. Here at Digital Trends, we’re personally rooting for the eye patch phone because if you want to be cool, you gotta wear an eye patch, mahn. Below are 10 cool concept phones that we came across while we were wakeboarding the Internet.
Tron Phone
This phone will never be made, because it doesn’t work, but we think it’s pretty cool. This phone was designed by Andrew D. Morgan with inspiration from the Tron Legacy film. They essentially felt that the programs in the grid would need a way to communicate. Stay tuned for AT&T’s manufacturing of this phone once the grid becomes a real thing.
Likelihood of existing: Lower than grandpa’s … life expectancy?
Nokia 2030
This phone was designed by Jim Chan and it’s pretty cool looking. It would be made of titanium and glass, and you could attach colored film to the glass to customize it. The Nokia 2030 would be scratch-resistant and small, at only 2 x 4.75 x 0.25 inches and have a touchscreen. Oddly, it still has a physical phone number pad. Even with a super thin glass screen, it can’t hide its age.
Modai
This has to be our personal favorite among the concepts. It’s almost obnoxiously playful, but we like the functions they’ve created and the creativity. This isn’t the old smiley face on the Android text message icon, it’s a phone designed to express a more personal relationship with the cold, hard piece of technology that you so frequently communicate with. This phone would have facial-based icons based on what you’re doing, day/night themes, and a really cool alarm clock that lifts the phone to face you when it goes off. To turn the alarm off you simply press the phone back down to a horizontal position. The “peeling” function can also act as a notification, in lieu of a vibration. This phone is said to have the capability of responding to your emotions. This phone was designed by Julius Tarng.
EmoPulse
This phone is actually coming out. Whoa! This wristwatch phone is much sleeker than many other concepts that have floated through the market. There are plenty of smartwatches out there, but this watch has a bigger screen and seemingly more versatility. Not only will it have cool features, it will be using one of the fastest processors on the market. Using the OMAP 5, this phone will let you simultaneously display three HD videos or display one on a 3D screen. This phone will have 4G, of course, and USB 3.0. It will also have 128 – 256GB of internal flash storage for storing your files, most likely music. The battery will last you about two days. It’s also waterproof! So far, it looks like you’ll be spending about $550.00 on this little guy when it comes out at the end of the year.
Iphone PRO Concept
The iPhone PRO concept by Jinyoung Choi is a phone for photographers. This phone concept might not be the most practical, but it is a really interesting concept. With camera phones going the way they are, it seems almost criminal that they don’t have better lenses. It looks as if you’d even be able to create a small projection from the lens, somehow, judging from the photos above. It’s an interesting concept, but most iPhone users probably don’t want to carry the lens around very often.
Sony has a similar phone concept that is actually coming out, for real. We are serious. You can read an article about it here.
Philips fluid
This phone would be an OLED that can bend into something that fits on your wrist. It’s like the EmoPulse in that way, but it is not meant to be used while on the wrist and can be laid out flat. This is certainly one of the more high-fashion designs on this list, created by Brazillian designer Dinard da Mata. We’re pretty sure you could cuff someone in the face with it, if you had to, as well.
Kambala
This is a phone that is designed to fit straight into your ear, like some kind of phone-bluetooth-headset-Frankenstein-monster. The really cool thing about this concept is the idea of the phone camouflaging with your ear once it’s on there. It seems as if the entire phone would have to be equipped with some kind of image sensor layer that could identify the colors of your skin/hair. It doesn’t look like it would be very comfortable, but since it’s not a real phone, it’s hard to tell. Designed by Ilshat Garipov.
Iphone Next G
“Ermahgerd, it’s like Star Wars or something!!!1” Yes, this is is a hologram phone. Actually, no, it’s a projector phone, but it looks kind of like a hologram. This phone is much like the projecting keyboards that currently exist, except it’s a wristwatch phone that projects onto your palm. This is a cool idea aesthetically and in working concept. We’re not exactly sure how this phone would account for hand size, but we’re pretty sure any would-be developers could make some way for it to calibrate that. Designed by Samuel Lee Kwon.
Two -Side Transparent Touch Screen
This phone doesn’t look like much, but it could be a breakthrough in touch screen technology. This phone has a see-through touchscreen that can be operated from both sides. This concept was presented by Fujitsu and NTT DoCoMo last year and is pretty unique. Say what you will about the interface, which looks a little shoddy, but it is a kind of technology that we have not often come across as a possibility for the future. We are under the impression that this kind of technology could make a serious impact in the future.
ZTE Eco-Mobius
This phone doesn’t look like much, but it could be a breakthrough in touch screen technology. This phone has a see-through touchscreen that can be operated from both sides. This concept was presented by Fujitsu and NTT DoCoMo last year and is pretty unique.

Xiaomi to Double Its Offline Retail Presence in India
Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, which presently registers 90 percent of its sales from online channel in India, is planning to double offline presence over the next few months.
"For us, online is the dominant channel and we are trying to build a base for offline in India. We had a partnership with Redington last year (for distribution) and four weeks back, tied up with Innocomm and Just Buy Live," Xiaomi India Head Manu Jain said in Mumbai.
Jain added that with these two new partners, the company now sells its products via 5,000 shops and plans to double the figure in a few months.
Xiaomi launched Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime in the country priced at Rs. 6,999 and Rs. 8,999, respectively.
The phones will be initially available at Mi.com and Flipkart.
Xiaomi, which sells over 1 million phones a quarter in the country, did its first sale for Redmi 3S yesterday on Flipkart and Mi.com and sold out all 90,000 units.
"For the first sale that we did yesterday, we wanted to bring the highest possible quantity and we brought 90,000 units. Everything was added to cart in a few minutes and it took two-and-a-half hours to ship out everything," Jain said.

Xiaomi chose open sale, instead of the usual flash sale on Tuesday, as the company brought significantly higher volumes than it ever did, Jain said.
Xiaomi will have another open sale on August 17 for Redmi 3S and Redmi 3S Prime with similar number of units.
Both the phones have been manufactured in India at the company's Andhra Pradesh facility.
"We are scaling up the facility at Andhra Pradesh. We are adding more lines and more capacity to the same plant and once we exhaust it, we are thinking of adding more factories along with our partners Foxconn," he said.

We spend more time than we really should testing the latest tablets - so when we tell you that the new iPad Pro 9.7 is the best tablet around, that's based on thorough and exhaustive research.
You might prefer the amazing screen size of the iPad Pro 12.9, complete with superlative sonic performance, but you're adding a lot to the cost if you choose that one.
If you're looking something a bit more Android-y, then it's easily the Google Pixel C you want to check out - made by Google, it's always going to be one of the better tablets out there given it's pretty much a Nexus device. You can also look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 if you want a slightly more dynamic screen, but that was launched a little longer ago.
The best Microsoft tablet around is the Surface Pro 4
- pricey, yes, but the only one worth considering. Yes, the Surface Pro
3 doesn't lose too much and it's a bit cheaper, but the upgrades to
Microsoft's tablet are considerable enough for us to recommend the newer
model.
It's a difficult process divining which place each of these excellent
tablets should occupy in our list, so we take into account multiple
elements including performance, battery life, screen quality and more.
Price
plays a part, as does age: a tablet that's been replaced by a sequel
will tumble down the rankings as you can get all the great features on a
better slate.
If none of the best toid tabletsablets here take your fancy then head on over to our tablet reviews pages, where you'll find in-depth reviews for many more models.
Tablet apps
As with today's best smartphones,
applications play a big role on tablets – once you've decided which of
these tablets is right for you, check out our top app and game lists so
you can get your fill of Temple Run, update your friends on Facebook and read the latest news, all on a bigger screen.
1. iPad Pro 9.7
Simply the best tablet around right now
Weight: 437g | Dimensions: 240 x 169.5 x 6.1 mm | OS: iOS 9.3 | Screen size: 9.7-inch | Resolution: 1536 x 2048 pixels | CPU: A9X | RAM: 2GB | Storage: 32GB/128GB/256GB| microSD slot: No | Battery: TBC | Rear camera: 12MP | Front camera: 5MP
*Great speakers
*Pencil and keyboard support
*Pricey with accessories
*Not as much RAM as larger iPad Pro
The best tablet you can buy right now is the iPad Pro 9.7 - the
smaller screen with powerful innards is the best combination on the
market.
While there are plenty of brilliant Android tablets around
at the moment, the new iPad offers a lot of the power of the larger
iPad Pro, along with the Smart Keyboard and Pencil support, but brings
it in a much more bag-and-palm friendly size. Oh, and those speakers are
just brilliant too.
2. Google Pixel C
This is the best Android tablet
Weight: 517g | Dimensions: 242 x 179 x 7mm | OS: Android Marshmallow| Screen size: 10.2-inch | Resolution: 2560 x 1800 | CPU: Tegra X1 | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 32GB/64GB | Battery: up to 10 hours | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 2MP
*Fantastic screen
*Premium design
*Plenty of power
Google's done it – the new Pixel C is the best Android tablet. The Pixel
C has it all: a fantastic display, heaps of power and a premium design.
Plus, for those willing to splash the cash, the keyboard is a great
accessory. It's not quite a laptop replacement, but for those in the
market for a premium Android tablet - look no further.
3. Samsung Galaxy Tab S2
A top notch iPad rival
Weight: 256g/389g | Dimensions: 198.6 x 134.8 x 5.6mm/237.3 x 169 x 5.6mm | OS: Android 5.1 | Screen size: 8.0-inch/9.7-inch | Resolution: 1536 x 2048 | CPU: Octa-core | RAM: 3GB | Storage: 32GB/64GB | Battery: 4000mAh/5870mAh | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 2.1MP
There are plenty of reasons to invest in the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 -
especially if you're after a top Android tablet. This is the best tablet
that Samsung has ever produced - it's both reading and web
surfing-friendly and you can pick it up in 8-inch and 9.7-inch variants.
Almost impossibly thin, pumped full of power and with a slicker
interface it gives the iPad Air 2 a real run for its money, although
it's getting a little older now.
*Brilliant screen
* Sleek design
*Touch ID finger scanner
The best 7-inch tablet at the moment is definitely the iPad mini 4. If
you like the look of Apple's iPad Air 2 and iPad Pro, but find them a)
too big, b) too expensive or c) both? Well you're in luck as the
diminutive iPad mini 4 gives you the best of Apple's tablet world in a
form factor which is not only beautiful, but highly portable.
5. Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet
Lighter, faster, waterproof… a keyboarded iPad Pro rival
Weight: 389g | Dimensions: 254 x 167 x 6.1 mm | OS: Android 5.0 | Screen size: 10.1-inch | Resolution: 2560 x 1600 | CPU: octa-core | RAM: 3GB of RAM | Storage: 32GB | Battery: 6000mAh | Rear camera: 8.1MP | Front camera: 5.1MP
*Gorgeous display
*Improved lightweight design
*Keyboard dock included
The Sony Xperia Z4 Tablet is the best option for PS4 owners, simply
because it allows you to stream games from your console direct to the
tablet when you're in another room of your house.
Link up your
PS4 controller to the Z4 Tablet and you'll be gaming in bed, in the
kitchen and on the toilet. The included keyboard dock in the box also
makes for a great stand, although it's a little on the wobbly side.
This
tablet is ageing a little nowadays - we're still waiting for Sony to
bring the reboot out, but this one is still powerful enough.
6. iPad Pro 12.9
Apple's biggest slate isn't its best, but it's not far off
The
iPad Pro won't be for everyone, but for those it does appeal to you're
unlikely to find a better tablet for your needs. Whether its graphics,
multi-tasking or providing a pseudo-Mac experience when you're away from
the office the iPad Pro is capable of so much.
Even the Pencil -
hilarious name aside - is an impressive tool for a particular niche.
For professionals, this is the best tablet out there and for some it's
more than capable of replacing a laptop - it's only so low down the list
due to the higher price.
iOS software still doesn't offer the
same desktop experience as the macOS, but it's not far off for many
tasks - this is a great 'sling in the bag and still get the power you
need' device.
7. Nexus 9
A perfect all round Android tablet
Weight: 425g | Dimensions: 228.2 x 153.7 x 8mm | OS: Android 5.1 | Screen size: 8.9-inch | Resolution: 1536 x 2048 | CPU: Dual-core 2.3 GHz | RAM: 2GB | Storage: 16/32GB | Battery: 6700 mAh | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 1.6MP
* Great value for money
*Stock Android experience
*Solid performance
Originally a rather expensive Google-branded tablet, the Nexus 9 has now
dropped so much in price it's the best value tablet out there. There's a
whole load of power, stock Android and a high res screen making it a
great all-round tablet at a very affordable price, although it's not
being stocked as widely as before, which we're taking to mean we'll see a
successor appearing soon.
*Great battery life
*Very thin and light
*Waterproof body
Tablets don't have to be big and cumbersome, and the rather clumsily
named Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact is testament to just that. It's not
Sony's best tablet - that goes to the Z4 further up the page -but it's
super-slim profile, waterproof chassis, bright display and solid line up
of specs means it'll comfortably slip in your bag and won't baulk at
the first sign of rain.
9. Microsoft Surface Pro 4
The tablet that can replace your laptop
Weight: 766g/786g | Dimensions: 292.10 x 201.42 x 8.45mm | OS: Windows 10 Pro | Screen size: 12.3-inch | Resolution: 2,736 x 1,824 | CPU: Various | RAM: 4GB/8GB/16GB | Storage: 128GB | Battery: up to 9 hours | Rear camera: 8MP | Front camera: 5MP
*Larger, sharper screen
*Vastly improved Type Cover
*Built in kickstand
Can a tablet really replace your laptop or home PC? That's still up for
debate, but the best tablet trying to make that happen is the Microsoft
Surface Pro 4 - and it does a fine job with the full blown version of
Windows 10, an integrated kickstand and optional keyboard attachment.
Great for for creative professionals, students and everyday folks alike -
it's only the laptop-esque prices that push it down the list, but if
you're willing to pay for it, you're getting a lot of power. A LOT.
Until the iPad Pro 9.7, this was the best tablet in the world. Even
though it has been replaced by Apple, it's still a brilliant tablet that
has further raised the bar for the rest of the competition in terms of
build quality, features and performance, and the best part is the new
Pro means the price of this model's dropped a fair bit. Apple's range of
tablet-optimised apps and a slick user interface makes the iPad Air 2
extremely versatile while also being incredibly easy, and enjoyable, to
use.
