Technology in the smartphone / tablet field is breaking new ground everyday. It is an extremely competitive zone, where every new flagship phone has to have something new and different. What do they call it? Disruptive innovation.
In the wake of the news that new flagship phones from Xiaomi, Google and other biggies will have fingerprint recognition, slimmer frames, and look nearly bezel-less, Lenovo has unveiled a new phone that suggests a transparent display.
Well, how the technology for that would come about, is still a question. But the display prototype kindled the interests of the many who are always looking for something new in their next phone.
But the question I have is why? Why do you need a transparent phone? When I asked my friends, one of them suggested that since people are so glued to their phones while crossing the road these days, maybe it is intended as a safety measure. Ha!
But seriously, what other utility does it have? Is it to create a make-heads-turn look? But it would look like we are holding a piece of glass in our hand - does that sound interesting? I remember a Sony phone with a transparent band that changed colours - and it looked fun. Maybe they want to create a similar style in design.
There was a time when the focus in the electronic world was on creating clearer displays, better sound quality, faster performance in space saving sizes which would consume lesser energy. Today, sometimes I feel there is innovation just for innovation's sake.
I would like a phone that is super fast, has an unbreakable display, loooong battery life with super-quick charging and reasonably good looks. Whether it is slimmer than other phones, or is bezel-less, extra-secure or transparent - is something I do not care about. What is it that you would like in your next phone?
