Mobile phone developers have made great strides in the development and improvement of smartphones. They allow you to not only make calls, but also communicate on social networks, take pictures and listen to music, watch videos. All this is fine, but some companies go the other way, trying to change the shape of the phone.
Nokia 888 review
Nokia has introduced a bold concept of a flexible smartphone, which has remained at the concept level. We are talking about the phone Nokia 888. Its feature is the shape of a bracelet. Thanks to this form, the smartphone could be worn on the hand as a decoration.
Specifications
It is not known for certain what characteristics this smartphone should have. However, in the images of the concept, it is clearly visible that the Nokia 888 has a long display that extends along the entire outer side. It was also planned to equip it with a camera for video communication.
As for the processor, it didn’t get to this. It is difficult to say which manufacturer could develop a processor to work in such a thin and curving case. Also there is no data on the amount of RAM, the video core. But no one argues about this, because the Nokia 888 exists only at the concept level.
If we consider this phone as a convenient functional decoration, then it is not bad. However, as a phone, it does not fit at all. Firstly, even if you imagine that this concept will have at least those functions that are today in budget smartphones, developers will not be able to implement a flexible display. So far, such a development is only at the level of tests and tests. Samsung recently posted a video with a new flexible display that bends and returns to its original position without damage.
There are also doubts about the implementation of a modern processor in a flexible phone case, and even as thin as shown in the photographs. And we are not talking about the battery. This is generally a weak point of any modern phone. Even relatively weak phones with conventional HD displays consume a lot of power. Batteries in this case occupy about 50% of the weight and volume. So for now, even modern technologies do not allow creating such a flexible smartphone, although the idea is quite beautiful.
Modern analogues of Nokia 888
Such smartphones do not exist today. However, there are fitness bracelets and smart watches, which are similar in performance and functionality of the device. Like Nokia 888, they show the time received by SMS, events on the social network. Some watches even have a microphone, which allows you to answer calls and talk with someone you talk to (even if that looks strange), and most importantly, they are worn on the wrist.
Nokia 888 reviews are controversial. Although no one ever used this phone, people shared on those who liked this concept, and those who did not like it at all. It is difficult to argue that it has a number of disadvantages, although it looks very stylish and expensive. But, most likely, such a phone would not have taken root in society, because nowadays it is a fashion for high power and functionality. Nokia 888 could not have possessed these parameters due to its physical features.
