Those who spend time commuting or in situations that aren't really conducive to constantly checking their smartphone could benefit from the 'Pinn' hands-free device that works to enable users to maintain functionality from a distance.

The 'Pinn' works by enabling you to answer calls, check caller ID, access [voice control](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandbar-stream-ring) and even send text messages. This information is all made possible with the 'Pinn' that boasts an [OLED display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onze-portable-display), speakerphone functionality and even [earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-earbuds) that can be used optionally with the device.

The 'Pinn' smartphone hands-free device also acts as a remote shutter button for snapping pictures from afar as well as a GPS guidance system that will offer turn-by-turn directional information. The 'Pinn' also works as a way to locate your smartphone or vice-versa.
