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.

Transparent mobile 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.
