The first impact we receive from any stimulus is the visual one, what enters through the eyes; whether or not what we are seeing seems beautiful to us. And that is a question that the different departments that are in charge of the exterior design of mobile phones take into account, since they know perfectly well that the design they have can finally make them sell more or less terminals depending on their appearance. But sometimes, brands take a triple somersault when it comes to design and we can be talking about revolutionary designs or stylistic absurdities.
The design does not leave indifferent
If the different mobile phones on the following list have something in common, it is that their design does not leave anyone indifferent who approaches them, and that is that when we look for phones that attract attention due to their exterior section, we absolutely find designs of all types. ; from a cell phone with so many lights that it could illuminate a room to a phone that we couldn’t tell if it’s a smartphone or a camera.
YotaPhone 2: Book and mobile at the same time
Seeing this mobile from its front view, we will not find anything remarkable, what is more, perhaps you would be wondering what this device is doing here. And it is that the surprise in the YotaPhone 2, one of the most successful Russian mobiles, we find it when we turn this terminal. With a spectacular AMOLED screen, when we turn it over we have a liquid ink screen that shows us different functionalities such as the time, the weather or if we have received any notification, in the purest AOD style.
The curiosity here was that this screen also allowed you to read books as if it were a Kindle, since it is the same screen style as that of these devices. In addition, it was a mobile that really worked well among the general public due to the novelty of the device; yes, users saw how complicated it was to deal with two screen protectors.
Alcatel A5 LED: The first ‘gaming’ mobile
In current times it is very fashionable to have a gaming mobile that allows us to play everything that comes our way; And when we talk about gaming devices, the first thing that will come to mind will be LED lights of different and striking colors. And that gaming concept was what Alcatel applied to its A5 LED, a mobile that surprised by its rear panel full of LED lights .
This rear panel, called Lightup +, was filled by Alcatel with LED lights that could be activated simply by touching it – so if the phone fell on the ground, you could have a party. In addition, you could also set it to turn on to the rhythm of music or to show some patterns depending on the person who called you. A novel mobile that, despite being an enlightened idea, was not very successful.
Motorola BackFlip: The age of the physical keyboard
Who does not remember those phones with a physical keyboard that were close to a smartphone around the year 2010? BlackBerry was the champion of this movement, joined by brands like Motorola with its BackFlip; a phone that beyond the physical keyboard so expected at that time, had said keyboard attached to the back of the phone, so that we could unfold that back to get our keyboard .
Even so, the thing did not stop there and that is that when we unfold our keyboard, the part that remained as the back of our screen became a touch panel that certainly did not have much acceptance. Later, as we already know, Motorola hesitated with the touch panel on the back of its screen, but just as it happened with this model, it did not end up being very successful among the public due to the discomfort caused by this type of technology.
LG G Flex: The medical phone
LG was a brand that was at the forefront of smartphones for many years. An avant-garde that sometimes got out of hand, as happened with the G Flex model, a mobile that we could say in a certain way that it was a miraculous phone, since it had the ability not to be damaged . A priori, it might seem like an absolutely normal phone that nothing would catch our attention beyond its curved design.
The curiosity comes when inside this mobile we find that LG added a coating on the outside that allowed this phone to heal itself in some way from the different scratches and scratches that we could cause it, disappearing after a few days. In addition, this was a technology that worked, but like most previous models, it did not catch on, perhaps because of its price.
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom: A hybrid mobile
As in cars, two modalities can coexist perfectly in the same device and in the mobile the camera and the telephone device itself have coexisted for many years, the lens sometimes being superior to many of the cameras on the market. . Of course, sometimes the fact of including the camera gets out of hand and things like the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom happen.
A mobile phone that, on the one hand, is mobile and on the other a camera with all of the law; absolutely complete as far as components are concerned. A good shutter, a x10 optical zoom, the flash and even the camera grip. A complete device that left absolutely no one indifferent.
Moto Z series: It can be whatever you want
One of the most versatile phones we have ever seen on the market is the Moto Z series, even talking about one ahead of its time; and it is that here we could put together all the good things that we have had so far on the list because literally this mobile could be almost what you wanted . In the back we were allowed to connect a series of accessories called Moto Mods , being able to go from having an excellent camera on our device to having a great speaker.
The problem that happened to this phone was the inconvenience of constantly changing the back cover depending on the needs that we had at each moment, so carrying all these tools became tedious and finally it did not become fashionable.
Nothing Phone (1): The last one to arrive
In this entire list, the latest mobile that has come onto the market and that we can highlight for its design is the Nothing Phone (1). A phone that has been covered with an aura of hype and new airs within One Plus, but that really brings something very, very innovative in terms of its exterior design. Beyond its proposal, we find the return to the market of LED lights as a notification warning and much more: charge level, wireless charging status, support as far as photography is concerned… clearly versatile.
Its LEDs also combine perfectly with the haptic response , causing a most satisfactory user experience. Despite so much novelty on its back panel, several users have reported that this transparent back cover soon fills with fingerprints and dirt, which takes away that plus that makes our mobile so impressive.
