Nokia E10

The Nokia E10 concept design showcase is a refreshing look at the possibilities for our future Nokia smartphones. With bendable screens and Nintendo DS inspired styling, the Nokia E10 concepts look to be exactly what the doctor ordered.
The E10 concept designs, both compliments of Concept Phones, look to shake up the stagnate design space we’re seeing in mobile gadgets. Manufacturers have been focused on releasing very minimal, iterative upgrades to handsets rather than taking a risk on a cutting edge design.
To help break the mold, Concept Phones has put together three renderings of aNokia E10 concept design which features a bendable screen, capable of rolling around a 6mm axis. When the E10 is folded, it becomes a standard touchscreen phone, able to make calls and send text messages as usual.
The real beauty to the design comes in the folding process. Through the use of tri-folds, a design reminiscent of an accordion, the super thin screen rests along the peaks of the folds until finally laying flat when the phone is fully expanded. The bi-product is a very large screen, capable of showing off full HD movies at a scale we’ve never seen before on a phone and quite frankly, a tablet.
The innovation in the Nokia E10 concept does not stop with the screen or tri-fold design, instead it continues through a focus on the environment. On the back of the phone are three solar panels which can deliver a much stronger power supply than existing phones which rely on a single panel.
In whole, the Nokia E10 concept is a design which both inspires and adapts to the needs of gadget lovers and environmentalists. It packs the punch of a flagship smartphone fitting for the Finnish manufacturer while at the same time replacing the need for a secondary tablet device. In the end you save space and money by relying on a single unified gadget. Anyone else ready to sign a petition to manufacture the Nokia E10 concept phone?
