Bringing a balance to both form and function is one of the greatest challenges any hardware designer can face, so thankfully we have concepts that allow one’s imagination to go wild. The Atlas Kinetic cell phone concept is made out of aluminum and glass, where the central sapphire glass shows off the generating and charging unit. It is powered via kinetic energy just like those found in kinetic-powered watches. Unfortunately, this phone does not push the technological boundary as it comes with most basic of functions, presumably because the amount of power generated isn’t enough to run all the other heavy multimedia stuff. At least there’s no charger to lug around.
