# Watery Transparent Phones The Samsung 'AQUA' Concept is Inspired by Drawing with Water By Meghan Young | Published 2010-09-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-aqua References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/aqua-water-based-touchscreen-mobile-phone-lets-you-see-through/) I may be in love with my iPhone, but the Samsung 'AQUA' would seriously tempt me to reconsider switching it up. Sleek and simple, it doesn't even look like a cellphone. People would probably just mistake it for a puddle of water! Interestingly, South Korean designer Bon Seop Ku was inspired by drawing on table surfaces with water. The transparent Samsung 'AQUA' features a graphical user interface and AMOLED display. This eco-friendly phone also runs on a liquid-type battery--appropriate, don't you think? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Transparent Phones:** Creating smartphones with transparent designs and interfaces could offer a unique user experience and aesthetic appeal. - **Eco-friendly Technology:** Developing liquid-type batteries for electronic devices can contribute to a more sustainable future by reducing reliance on traditional battery technologies. - **Sleek Minimalism:** Designing cellphones with simple and minimalist aesthetics can attract consumers looking for elegant and unobtrusive technological devices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Electronics:** The electronics industry could benefit from the development of transparent phones and liquid-type batteries by offering innovative and eco-friendly smartphone options. - **Design:** The design industry could explore the concept of sleek minimalism by integrating transparent and minimalist elements into various products, including cellphones. - **Technology:** The technology industry can seize the opportunity to create disruptive innovations by combining transparent phone designs, eco-friendly batteries, and minimalist aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Visible Component Smartphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-phone-1.md) - [Artistic UV-Reactive Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polychromatic-mobile-phone.md) - [Crystalline Tech Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-clear-series.md) - [Co-Branded Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-x-galaxy.md) - [Artful Aluminum Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-1.md) - [Transparent Aluminum Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nothing-phone-2-concept.md) - [Chic Transparent Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nothing-phone-1.md) - [Ultra-Slim Folding Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-air-concept.md) - [Industrial Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braun-what-if-phone.md)
