Artistic UV-Reactive Smartphones

The Conceptual Polychromatic Mobile Phone is Artwork-Inspired

— May 13, 2022 — Tech
The conceptual Polychromatic Mobile Phone is an artwork-inspired smartphone model that features an aesthetic that will change throughout the day according to environmental conditions.

Designed by the Tecno Camon 19 Pro Design Team, the smartphone features a Mondrian-inspired grid layout on the rear that will change colors according to UV light exposure. This pays homage to Edouard Manet who's created by bringing light into painting and, most importantly, with starting the Impressionist art movement.

The conceptual Polychromatic Mobile Phone was achieved through 500 different iterations with the final outcome achieved with a 22-step process. The smartphone is the winner of the 2022 A’ Design Award and identifies what can be done to keep mobile technology intriguing for users who might be a bit bored with the existing models on the market.
