A decade ago, people were fascinated by the upsurge of gadgets with unique and hi-tech capacities. The S.Max represents the more recent consumer interest in combining technologies for better efficiency. This concept device was designed by Su Wen Yuan and it's the winner of a Dongguan Cup.

One side of the rectangular surface has a cellphone-sized cutout. It's inside this frame that the accompanying handset can be snapped; this way, the two gizmos combined fit compactly within the dimensions of your typical tablet. Should you wish to make a call or to snap a photo with your phone, the S.Max can be taken apart. Meanwhile, keep a good grip on the tablet with the handle that's consequently created by the handset's removal.
