HTC 1: World’s First Self-Cleaning Cell Phone Concept
I’m not usually one to get too excited about concepts drawn up by third parties showcasing devices that will most likely never even cross the desk of the design team of any manufacturer, but the following personal design project for the next generation of HTC handsets is actually kind of neat for several reasons. Not only does it re-imagine HTC’s current look and feel that seems to make all of their phones look like a smaller/wider/stretched/etc. version of previous devices to give the high-end concept some individuality, but it also recreates HTC Sense to create unity between the device and software. Perhaps a slightly bizarre addition is a self-cleaning UV light that kills off microorganisms as the phone charges. I bet you weren’t thinking of your phone as a disgusting harbor for germs and bacteria before now, were you? See the full concept at Design Fabulous.
