Designed by Michael Mattana, James Paulius, and Sayer Murph, the Sustainable Smartphone manages to get into the line of high-tech gadgets while still maintaining an extremely low profile with bare minimum design elements. The designers have simply cut down the number of materials generally needed for running a smartphone you rich, spoiled brats use and thereby increase the lifespan of this Sustainable Smartphone. Unlike conventional smartphone, this one is water resistant because of the rubber gasket used in it. It’s the touchscreen without sensors. Actually, under the screen lies low-trip force buttons. These buttons give the user feedback (something similar to what you call hepatic feedback in you rich ass smartphones). The visuals and texts are large and clean and help with readability. It’s all black and white and so user can enjoy happy hours directly under the sun! The materials used are minimum and the number of processing steps are also fewer and hence, the price is significantly low.
From the designers: Metal stamping requires minimal tooling, low energy, and produces nominal waste. Aluminum is easy to machine, rigid, and very easily recyclable. Lithium polymer batteries have a very slow degradation rate, which is not affected by inconsistent charging. E-ink screens are very durable and require sixty percent less energy than LCD screens to operate. Having minimal PCB components makes the device far less likely to overheat, which is a common reason for the failure of smart devices. This device has a standard Mini-USB charging port, but will not be sold with a charger. Since Mini-USB chargers have almost become an industry standard for cell phones and smart devices, many people already have them in their homes. There is a large amount of waste attributed to the fact that all cell phones on the market are sold with a charger. [via]
