Andrea Mangone has designed a minimalist foldable phone that is quite elegant in its appearance. Known as the 0/1 phone, the concept aims to promote [digital detox](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muto) and mindful technology usage. The design emphasizes simplicity and functionality, as well as portability as the device can fold into a compact size when not in use.

The 0/1 phone has two functions. When not in use, the minimalist foldable phone boasts "a distraction-free interface." Designed to be folded and to sit upright on surfaces, the e-ink display can be customized to show "analog or digital clocks, music player, calendar, or other simple apps [that do not demand one's attention." The second mode features a [1080×2640 resolution display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-phone) on which users can enjoy video games, multi-media content, social media, and more.
