The customized **[DS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flip-ds) Lite** come from a Japanese company called **King Deco**. While some companies ask their customers to pay hundreds, even thousands of dollars for [ultra-luxury customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro), others, like this company, offer their services at lower costs, and it shows. "(The [customized phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation)) looks as if it could have been done as a pre-school art project with some plastic charms and Elmer's glue," Crave says. I'm sorry but this is beyond tacky. I think I just lost my eyesight. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customized Mobiles:** Customization is becoming increasingly popular in mobile phones? - **Personalization:** Adding personal touches to electronic devices is a trend that is revolutionizing the electronic industry - **DIY Technology:** Do-it-yourself (DIY) technology is a growing trend that is changing the face of electronics as we know it ### Where This Applies - **Electronics:** The electronics industry can take advantage of the growing trend towards customization and personalization - **Crafts:** The crafts industry can capitalize on the growing trend towards do-it-yourself (DIY) technology - **Design:** The design industry can revolutionize the electronics market through innovative and creative personalization options ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Pinkish Toy-Inspired Tech Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-barbiecore-collection.md) - [Artwork-Covered Smartphone Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tecno-camon-20-x-mr-doodle-edition.md) - [Smartphone Case Pin Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-smartphone-cases.md) - [Premium Crystal-Adorned Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-collection.md) - [Sleek Modular Flip Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easco.md) - [Gilded Folding Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-gold-dragon.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Device Skins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ddbrand-circuit-board.md) - [Wacky Design Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation.md)
