The smartphone has become quintessential for many, which is something the 'EVO' smartphone remote looks to make an even better experience. Packing eight different features into the keychain-sized device, the 'EVO' offers users: a Bluetooth remote, a kickstand, Bluetooth tracker, flash storage capabilities, a wall charger, iOS adapter, emergency power supply and USB cables.
Because the 'EVO' smartphone remote is packed with so many nifty features, it will likely be used just as often as a smartphone would be. Currently funding on Kickstarter, the 'EVO' is the work of Toronto-based brand Team Evolu2ion.
The slim, compact design of the 'EVO' makes it no larger than a car key fob or building access device, which helps increase the likeliness that you'll actually keep it in your pocket.
