High-Tech Flip Phones

This Cellphone by Huang Wei Adapts an Older Form for an Innovative Design

Plenty of smartphone users still reflect fondly upon their flip phones of several years ago; this cellphone by Huang Wei would appeal to that group. Offering all of the latest and greatest technologies of modern touchscreen mobiles, this device has a protective cover that doubles as a generous display.

You could use the concept smartphone with the hinged window kept shut, providing a clear view of the vivid screen while you watch videos. Alternatively, you can open up the see-through cover and shift the picture onto it instead. This configuration equips you with a full QWERTY keyboard across the bottom section, and a range of other buttons and notifications on this cellphone by Huang Wei.
