Nokia Kinetic Concept
On a more
serious note, here’s more info on the Nokia Kinetic – a seriously playful
mobile phone for 2012. The reason behind the erection is an electromagnet in
the base of the phone that allows a weight to be shifted, causing the phone to
stand up. Digital information gets converted into kinetic movement!
Other
features include:
- Camera capture button at bottom right of phone means
you grip the phone like an SLR camera when taking a photo.
- Standby mode is perfectly balanced; Screen is raised
from the surface.
- Top half is 8mm in thickness with bottom being 18mm.
- The shape and weight at the bottom of the phone mean
ergonomically it is much better to hold than other phones.
- 2 taps on power button allows you to manually set stand
up mode. (For a clock on your desk, a digital photoframe, or to play music).
- Proximity sensor on front of the phone, means that the
stand up feature does not activate when in your pocket.
