The unusual complex device looks like a wallet adorned with chains, feathers, and tassels. This innovative smartphone is designed to help both fashion brands (Prada, Louis Vuitton, etc.) and tech giants (Apple and Samsung) make money. There will be no issue finding a place for it in your handbag, as it is very compact and convenient.
A smartphone with a design that imitates a handbag.
The conceptual device Honor V Purse was unveiled at the IFA 2023 technology exhibition in Berlin. It represents the brand’s thinnest foldable smartphone with always-on live displays. This gadget can be used as a wallet or handbag. It features shoulder straps and design settings that can be changed with the push of a button.
The company Honor has announced that this gadget, designed to resemble a handbag, offers limitless possibilities for self-expression and an eco-friendly lifestyle. It is seen as a starting point for transforming smartphones into something beyond their social and communication purposes. However, there are currently no plans to release it to the open market.
The innovative smartphone weighs 231 grams and is 9 mm thick, operating by unfolding outward. This way, the always-on display is always visible. At the top, there will be a clasp to keep it together, a camera, and hooks for a variety of interchangeable shoulder straps, including an option made of synthetic leather.
The combination of fashion and innovative technologies
As noted by the publication Daily Mail The screen remains on at all times. Owners can choose from a variety of screen styles designed by leading taste manufacturers, including Burberry. They will be provided with a range of accessories, such as chains, tassels, and feathers, that will sway on the screen and follow the movement of the smartphone.
Users will be able to combine these live displays with their clothing. As the Honor design team notes, modern demanding consumers are looking for new ways to express themselves and showcase their individuality. They believe that this new bold concept will pave the way for the future of fashion and technology.
Honor is confident that this portable device also offers hope to environmentally conscious consumers who are concerned about the wastefulness of fast fashion. In addition to the interchangeable display, which allows users to change their style for each evening and even during it without buying a new bag, it can also function for a certain period, allowing it to be opened and closed over 400,000 times.
In the next stage of development, Honor will invite promising designers from around the world to create original works that reflect the latest design trends. They will be allowed to work with the interface to make the sensors in the smartphone animated and lively.
Executive Director George Zhao says that the Honor V wallet demonstrates how the company is exploring sustainable solutions that will enhance creativity and shape the lifestyle of tomorrow.
This smartphone is an entirely new, universal, and revolutionary concept that is unlike anything created before. According to Mr. Zhao, this innovative gadget will pave the way for the future of fashion and technology.
Perhaps the future lies with such complex smartphones.
Placing the display on the outside would be risky right now, as the current complex screens are still relatively soft and fragile. Honor’s former parent company, Huawei, did this for its early foldable phones but later changed them to position them more safely inside.
Industry analyst Paolo Pescatore says that Honor has bold and ambitious plans to become a leader in the sector. These latest moves towards foldable devices are a statement of intent to be regarded as a reliable and viable player.
Ultimately, complex devices are not in demand among consumers who still desire reliable and durable connections. Therefore, according to an analytics expert, it will be many years before devices like this concept actually become functional. In the meantime, it will create the much-needed buzz around the Honor brand.
