If you live in a city where the weather can be unpredictable, then this is the phone for you. The ‘Window Phone’ concept by Seunghan Song “makes [accurate predictions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-weather)” about the weather and changes the display according to the weather outside.

On a sunny day, the Window Phone has a crisp, clear display, while on a [rainy day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brzzy-weather), the mobile looks covered in water droplets.

This [see-through touch-screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onze-portable-display) will definitely make your day easier and a little less unpredictable.
