# Ear-Sized Phones Carry the Conversation with the LG Tag By Alex Scott | Published 2010-06-16 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-tag References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/lg-tag-cellphone-makes-your-life-simple-while-making-a-statement/) & [speedstudiodesign](http://speedstudiodesign.com/products/lg-tag-mobile-phone/) Though BlackBerrys and [iPhones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinn) really are the bee's knees, they don't always fit the best in that jean pocket of yours. The [LG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-stanbyme-speaker) Tag is here to make ample room for your wallet and keys once again. The device, resembling that of a large spacer earring, fits snugly on the ear and allows for user-friendly, simplistic communication. The LG Tag goes back to basics with eliminating a lot of the auxiliary features on which its smartphone brethren rely so heavily. LG figures, since you already have your laptop and/or [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinebeam), all you really need your phone for is making calls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Ear-sized Phones:** Creating a new category of wearable communication devices, potentially replacing traditional cell phones. - **Simplistic Communication:** A trend towards minimalistic and straightforward communication solutions and devices. - **Wearable Technology:** Wearable technology is being increasingly accepted and is being developed by brands in various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can create and market more simplified and wearable communication devices. - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can collaborate with tech companies to create more stylish and wearable technology accessories. - **Healthcare:** Health care providers can explore ear-sized devices as an alternative solution for remote communication and monitoring of patients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Pill-Shaped Soundbar Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-stanbyme-speaker.md) - [Sleek Compact Tracker Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebblebee-tag.md) - [Speaker-Centric Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-phone.md) - [Tech-Infused Jewelry Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-slac.md) - [Gesture-Control Earpiece Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-galaxy-air-concept.md) - [Slim Magnetic Smartphone Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-tws.md) - [Compact Sleek Bluetooth Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-tag-1.md) - [Pared-Back OLED Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-phone-iii.md) - [Compact Phone Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thinn.md)
