# Dual Screen, No Frills Cell Phones Need by Tamer Koseli By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-05-22 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-mobile-with-2-screens-and-no-frills-tamer-koselis-need References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/05/21/the-longest-mobile-phone-ever/) & [tamerkoseli.blogspot](http://tamerkoseli.blogspot.com/) Tamer Koseli is an industrial designer who believes the sole purpose of a cell phone should be as a means of basic communication. That in mind, he created a mobile with [no superfluous frills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dumb-phone1), leaving out standard modern features like cameras, MP3s, videos, internet, email access or other multi media technology. The **Need**, as Koseli named his [concept cell phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meti), comes fitted with two screens. The first one is a touch screen and the second is an [OLED logotype](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-light-phone-iii) that displays basic information such as your phone book. It's an interesting concept but most of us have gotten used to all the frilly add-ons. Going back to a phone without a camera, video capabilities or other media features is a blasphemous, cruel and unusual punishment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **No-frills Technology:** Opportunity for creating products with only the necessary basic functions to reduce costs and to cater to individuals looking for simplicity. - **Dual-screen Devices:** Innovation opportunity for designing devices that utilize two screens for improved user experience and display capabilities. - **Minimalist Design:** Potential for creating sleek and simple product designs that cater to individuals who prefer a minimalist aesthetic. ### Where This Applies - **Mobile Devices:** Opportunity for mobile device manufacturers to explore creating a basic no-frills phone with minimal and essential functions for those looking to simplify their lives. - **Consumer Electronics:** Innovation opportunity for the consumer electronics industry to explore the design of no-frills electronic products that cater to the needs of individuals who value simplicity. - **Industrial Design:** Potential for the industrial design industry to create designs that are sleek and simplistic, incorporating only necessary features in response to the growing trend of minimalism. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Frill-Free Cellphone Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmd-cellphones.md) - [Industrial Cellphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-n90-x-nothing-concept.md) - [Simplistic Distraction-Free Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lofone.md) - [Digital Detox Phone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-foldable-phone.md) - [Reduced Connectivity Mobile Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-phone.md) - [Simplistic Folding Clamshell Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/01-phone.md) - [Double-Display Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-phone.md) - [Keyboard-Intact E-Ink Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-minimalist-phone.md) - [Visible Component Smartphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-phone-1.md)
