The 0/1 Phone is a smartphone designed by Andrea Mangone and this concept look has a folding factor that resembles a look inspired by a clamshell. It features a squared shape and has an aluminum body complete with a pebbled texture made from vegan leather covering on top.
Another accent is highlighted by an orange tag made from a nylon weave that is also the SIM card tray pull. The folded structure has two notable modes including a smartphone when it is opened up and a minimal phone when it is closed. When in its Smartphone mode, it has a larger screen, and when closed, the display switches to the front-facing e-ink on a square base.
