No buttons included

Which is the most successful technology that most high-end mobile phone producers have chosen to pack in their devices until now? You've guessed it. It's touchscreen. A new concept, simply called "Cellphone", uses this technology at its maximum potential and looks highly futuristic.

Jacob Palmborg is the author of a new cellular concept, one of the many which have sprung out in the last times without having the chance of being actually produced any time in the near future.

The phone looks extremely simple, as it comes with a full-surface OLED touchscreen. When closed, it appears as a smooth, black device with questionable use. From the point of starting to use this gadget, buttons appear on the lower side of the display and information on the upper one.

This makes the "Cellphone" device look more like a usual handset, as it keeps the regular organizing of where the buttons and information are placed on a regular mobile phone. One highly useful aspect about this device might be the fact that is bent at the middle, where the display of a normal phone should start. This makes it considerably easier to read the displayed information on it.

Just flip it over and a fingerprint reader panel reveals on the back of the mobile phone. This is actually used for switching the power on/off or for locking it. Sounds like an excellent security feature that many phone producers have already introduced it, just not on full-OLED touchscreen phones.

The design might also be worthy of appreciation. The simple look with as few buttons as possible (try none) is now in fashion. Jacob Palmborg's phone concept looks sleek and elegant and has high chances of making tough competition for other phone models which pride with their touchscreens. That is if it is to be produced.
