Tokyo Designers Week hosted a couple of neat phone mockups this weekend, as the winners of the Mobile Design Contest organized by LG Japan decided to show the world physical versions of their ideas. The “Planet Phone” (below) won the competition and you can admire the concept devie below, a circular clamshell device with many LEDs incorporated in its top part.
Each of the small lights you see on the Planet Phone is a friend and as you contact him/her more often, the corresponding light stays closer to the centre of the screen. The rarer you chat with someone, the closer he’ll get to the edge of the display.
The LG Temperature concept phone (below) has a back made out of tiles, each displaying the name of a contact. You can exchange tiles with your close ones and see them glitter in the color of your friend’s location heat level.
Now how cool is that? Imagine going to a sunny beach and having your amigo call you because his tile glittered smoking red. Or being in Aspen and skiing, while you’re sweaty friend’s tile from California glitters blue.
The next LG concept is the “Ring” (below), a candybar handset with a hole in its lower part. This can be used a rotary dial or the phone’s camera viewfinder. The entire front side of the device is its display.
LG “fbt” comes with a Braille keypad and allows users to send and receive messages, as its back is a Braille display and keypad at the same time. Next is the “Tap” concept (below), a device that looks like a huge light switch and really works like one, as you can switch it off and simply chill out.
Keep in mind that these handsets are only mockups, so you won’t see them in stores too soon.

Some are waiting for the Chocolate 3, while others crave for the LG Synthesis, but some of us would rather take a peek at this hot Shine follow-up. The LG Shine 2 concept comes with a huge screen, original button placement and fashionable chrome accents.
This ultra thin device should have at least a 5 megapixel camera, as for the specs we can see, there’s surely an improved scroll button in there.

Yes, this is a 2007 LG concept phone, but I’m still waiting for the Touch to come out… It combines the functions of the Prada and the iPhone and offers full browsing and comes with a fancy looking earset and handsfree module. I noticed the Cyon branding on the device, is that the designer of the handset or a new LG sub-branding?
The LG Touch can also be used as a remote controller and it features a Dual LCD for quick viewing of messages and missed calls.
Last, but not least, I should mention that the handset comes with a touchscreen display and it’s motion sensitive, plus it can be used with a touch QWERTY keyboard cradle.

Mohamad Moradi imagined the future of the LG Black Label series, that recently got a new member, the LG Secret KF750, The designer created the LG Butterfly concept phone, which might as well be the next Chocolate, but one that arrives with an interesting text input mechanism. LG Butterfly is black and sexy and features a directional pad, an MP3 button and the classic keys (call/endcall and the 2 navigation/action buttons beneath the display).
It might as well feature a touchscreen, since you can’t go wrong with that nowadays and a 5 megapixel camera would do, too. The MP3 button shows that we’ve got a more music-oriented device on our hands, so the folks from LG would better check this out, as it’s promising.
