Although mobile devices have made our lives easier to a large extent, they hide their pitfalls. The list of problems they bring has now been joined by the harmful effect on the spine, which is the result of bending the head when our eyes are glued to the phone or tablet screen. That's when your neck is pressed by a force equal to the weight of six full grocery bags or four bowling balls.
We all know how annoying it is when our phone starts beeping in the middle of the day that it's running out of battery, the charger is alone at home, and we are therefore cut off from the world for the whole afternoon. With the award-winning Mini Power concept, this will never happen again. The cardboard vitamin fills our phone's battery anywhere and anytime.
Pens and chargers are quite similar - we never find them when we need them the most. From now on we will have both in one. The Power Pen is a fusion of "old school" and new technology in one luminous pen that charges your phone.
In a world of smartphones, watches, glasses and homes, the Light Phone tries to stand out by being too smart. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The information age can be very tiring. Ever since the advent of smartphones, we have been inundated with alerts, messages, emails and spam calls. The Light Phone is a discreet phone the size of a credit card, designed to be used as little as possible. It connects to a smartphone and only lets calls through. You can reserve it on Kickstarter.
Take off all the fluff from your smartphone and you have a phone in "Eve's costume". Display and control panel. That's actually all you need. And that's exactly what the Luna Phone is, a minimalist-looking phone by Spanish technical engineer Jorge Arbela Cabrera, who specializes in industrial and product design, a concept that takes the mobile phone back to its roots in extraordinary style.
Thanks to the virtual keyboard of smartphones and the possibility of several people participating in a conversation at the same time, texting is the most popular way of mobile communication among the youth of Generation Y. If texting is the most used function of mobile phones among young people, then why are managers annoyed with young Gen Y employees who do not pick up the phone? They gave 5 reasonable reasons for not answering calls.
Sweden has become the first country in the world with its own phone number and is urging everyone to call it sometime. And who will answer on the other end of the line? Anyone who dials the number of this Scandinavian country will be connected to a random citizen of Sweden, the telephone ambassador of Sweden, who is ready to chat with you about anything.
For those of you who think that modern smartphones are overloaded with features, consider the fixie among mobile phones, the AIEK Q1. This is just a phone.
Nokia, once the king of mobile phones, but today only a pale shadow of itself, but somehow picking itself up from the ruins with the help of Microsoft, has a new mobile phone. This one doesn't have a touchscreen, it's not waterproof, it doesn't run most of your favorite mobile apps, but you'll still want it. The Nokia 216 takes us back to the days when the charger was the last thing on our mind during the day.
At a time when smartphones dominate our lives and rob us of precious moments with our loved ones, if we don't know how to put them away and think about it, a phone like the iPhone is a welcome (substitute) change. In fact, an innovation that goes back to the past. To what the phone was basically - a means to call and be reachable.
Not so long ago, we all had corded phones in our offices. Some of us still have them today, but they have been out of fashion for a long time and are slowly giving way to mobile telephony. If you miss the days when your desk was occupied by a large computer screen, mountains of paper, a calculator, folders, a business card stand and adhesive tape, and above all a landline phone, you can consider the NVX 200, a smartphone charging station with a handset. Something for eternal nostalgics...
As you've probably already heard, the good old Nokia 3310 is coming back to the scene. The new Nokia 3310 brings some innovations, but otherwise HMD Global is more than selling nostalgia with it and betting on its strengths from the past. Endurance, long autonomy and, of course, Snake. The original Nokia 3310 had the Snake 2, which wasn't as good as the original, but was still up to par. With the reincarnation of the classic comes the new Snake, about which people have mixed feelings after the first minutes. Check out how the new Serpent looks like to play, and gauge whether it's a step forward or if the designers broke it.
