# Marble Mobiles The Mobiado CPT001 Phone is Truly a God Among Gadgets By Alex Scott | Published 2010-04-08 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobiado-cpt001-phone References: [bornrich.org](http://www.bornrich.org/entry/mobiado-cpt001-is-both-an-objet-d-art-and-a-phone-concept/) & [mobiado](http://www.mobiado.com) [Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation) may be all the rage right now, but really they're nothing more than fancy looking plastic. You need a phone that looks down on all the others with contempt--you need a Mobiado CPT001 Phone. Made from a single solid piece of marble (that's right), this beaut is good for making calls or bludgeoning people. Really, who needs tons of apps when you have a phone that matches your bathroom sink! If you're worried that the marble is the only thing fancy about the Mobiado CPT001 Phone, never fear. The [touch screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-phone-concept) is built from a single piece of sapphire, and the buttons are solid gold. This should fit right in with your computer that's made from a single ruby. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 77% | 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) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Smartphones:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop luxury smartphones that are made from exotic materials like marble and precious metals to cater to affluent consumers. - **Alternative Phone Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of unconventional materials like marble and sapphire for phone construction, offering unique and luxurious designs. - **Experiential Phones:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create phones that offer a sensory and tactile experience, utilizing materials like marble to enhance the user's perception of luxury. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Luxury Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate novel materials and design concepts from the luxury smartphone industry into other high-end consumer goods, such as watches or jewelry. - **Smartphone Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate alternative materials and manufacturing techniques, such as marble and sapphire, into mainstream smartphone production to offer unique and premium options to consumers. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with luxury phone manufacturers to create phone designs that seamlessly blend with high-end interior design aesthetics, providing a cohesive and opulent experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxe Gold-Plated Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goldplated-iphone-15-pro.md) - [Artful Aluminum Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-1.md) - [Gilded Valentine's Day Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-16-pro.md) - [Luxury Bespoke Smartphones Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g.md) - [Gilded Folding Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huawei-mate-xt-ultimate-design-gold-dragon.md) - [Luxury Web3 Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metavertu.md) - [Cement-Made Smartphone Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artifox-monument.md) - [Electric Vehicle Component Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caviar-iphone-13-pro-electro.md) - [Chic Transparent Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nothing-phone-1.md)
