Smartphone Concepts:
Shaping New Hardware and User Interfaces

A Smartphone Concept Line With Curved Displays, Rotating Screens, and Dual Photo-Video Capture

Extensive user research informed the development of smartphone concepts aimed at multitaskers, business users, and everyday consumers. The focus was on rethinking form factors and interaction models to support modern, multifaceted lives better.

One standout concept featured a dual-SIM phone with a rotating display, allowing users to switch between work and personal profiles physically. Another, the Ticker, integrated a secondary edge display for real-time updates without disrupting the main screen experience. The Spaces concept interface introduced a contextual organization system, letting users group content by project or contact, navigated via a capacitive touch bar for tactile, screen-free control. Other explorations included motion-based interfaces—like a parallax-enabled Ticker with tilt-to-reveal content—and the Spin concept, where twisting the screen toggled between two SIM environments with fluid ease.

Together, these concepts envisioned a smartphone that adapts to context, balances complexity with simplicity, and aligns more intuitively with how people work and live.
