Conduit The Experimental Design Phone


While it is one thing to push innovation, it is quite another to make an idea workable and useful. Designer Tirshathah Hunter surely practiced the out-of-the-box thinking while designing this Pantech Conduit concept phone.

The Conduit consists of three cigar-like shapes. Two of them could be detached from one 'cigar' controller. The other two are holding rollable screen, that can be stretched out like this :

A more detailed exploded view :

While it is quite believable that the device will be able to connect seamlessly using Bluetooth, but one question remains on the rollable screen. What material is it, and is it comercially viable? The built-in keypad also looks miserable. It certainly could be better than that. At least we expect ordinary alphanumeric keypad in this thing, not the jumbled six buttons that hold all characters.

Anyway, we must praise designer Tirshathah Hunter for this bold design, though may be not very much implementable.
