Window phone concept
Transparent
phones are often a thing of wonderand excitement for both tech geeks and
consumers. However, much to the dismayof a lot of people, there are only a few
semi-transparent mobile phonesavailable for mass consumption. The reason
primarily is finding out how toconceal all the wires and circuitry required for
a mobile phone to work in incomplete, transparent casing. Full transparent
phones, to this day, remain as conceptphones.
But for those who are curious as to how
transparent phones look—whether they are available in the market or as concept
phone—here is a list that would definitely satiate your imagination.
Transparent phones in the market:
1. LG GD900
The LG GD900’s
ground-breaking design—featuring crystal, transparent keypad—has sparked and
provoked the minds of many phone designers to follow suit and start designing
full transparent phones.
In reality, its
features are just about like another phone of its time, except that half of
this phone is transparent. It was mass-produced and was readily available in
the market back in 2009. As of 2012,however, production has been discontinued.
2. DoCoMo - Fujitsu
Two-Sided Transparent Display Prototype
DoCoMo is a mobile
phone giant in Japan; Fujitsu is a reputed computer company from the same
Archipelago. Teaming up in a collaboration of technological research and
design, these two Japanese super-companies came up with a smartphone sporting a
two-sided transparent display touchscreen last June.
Being able to
control your phone not only from the front touch screen but also from the back
side gives the user a new kind of experience in navigating and interacting with
a smartphone. This phone is still months away from the actual production.

phone concepts:
1. The CTP002:
Mob ado-Aston Martin Transparent Droid Phone Concept
Luxury meets luxury
as mob ado and Aston Martin pair up to give our eyes a treat with their Droid
Phone concept. This transparent phone is supposedly built from glass with
titanium edges on its sides for protection.
Seeing as the
full-transparent phone concept doesn’t give much space for the phone’s other
hardware needs, the metal sides could possibly hold all the electrical
circuitry and SIM card—a feat that’s quite impossible in the present. The
showcase video features this phone becoming an integrated display on the
dashboard of an Aston Martin car.
2. Windows
Phone Concept by Siangtan Song
So you think your
weather bureau's accurate? This fully-transparent Windows Phone concept
displays the weather for the day on the phone's screen—be it rainy, snowy, or
sunny—allowing users to have peek of the conditions outside even when they are
cooped in their house or office. If this one goes to production, it would give
you access to handwriting mode when you blow on the phone, thereby providing
the means for making calls and text. As of today, however, the consumers can
only wait and see if this fantastic concept would progress into reality.
