Color-Changing Iridescent Phones

Realme's Latest Smartphone has a Seashell-Like Design

Realme introduces its latest smartphone design, which was made alongside the Danish design studio Valeur Designers. The two are longtime partners and the new 14 Pro Series 5G model is designed with a cold-sensitive back panel which changes colors. It shifts from a pearly white color and transforms to a bright blue when it is in contact with temperatures under 16°C (61°F).

The visual effect is exclusive to the pearl white iterations of the phone, which is also available in the 14 +Pro edition as well. It uses an advanced thermochromic pigment that directly reacts to temperature changes. Notably, the back panel also has organic seashell powder, so each pattern is unique to its own with the special 30-step manufacturing process.
