Concept Phone Nokia Kinetic rises during an incoming call

Mobile phones have long been transformed from utilitarian gadgets to loyal aides and even friends. The owners pride themselves on their cellphones and, if so, their unusual features. Designer Jeremy Innes-Hopkins, presented a concept phone called the Nokia Kinetic, which is a very unusual way to give the owner aware of an incoming call or message. This phone has a thickened rounded base, and during the call, he rises to a vertical position, thus attracting the attention of his owner, and along with all others.

Innes-Hopkins also provided opportunity to reject an incoming call by a smooth return of the phone in a horizontal position. Since this gadget is still in the concept stage, no specifications were not disclosed. It seems that in a thickened based phone Kinetic is an electromagnet, which is responsible for changing its position in space. Of course, notice an incoming call in silent mode, when notified in this way is much easier to control than traditional light signal. Besides, the idea of standing up vertically, your phone may be used for comfort of video calls or watching media.

The only serious drawback of this concept is its reinforced design. In this age of gadgets and ultra-tight-fitting jeans, this may become a serious obstacle to its popularization.
