Designed by Singapore-based consultancy [NextOfKin Creatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mech-dual-joystick-game-controller) for their client XPAL Power, Inc, the fully-functioning emergency phone is powered by a single AA battery. The [emergency cellphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kompakt) boasts a 15-year shelf life and is screenless. Without using an LCD information display, the display screen is instead used to showcase the device's energy source, i.e., its long-lasting battery. The SpareOne phone includes an intuitive layout with the Emergency button at the center of its interface. The design also includes [large number buttons for easy dialing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accessible-mobile-technology), programmable phone number memory, and the universal LED torchlight for night use. Ideal for traveling and elderly people, the SpareOne Phone is functional and practical.
