LG Burst is a concept phone that incorporates a projector and comes with all the important features of touch phones. This handset can project images on flat surfaces, thanks to its side-mounted projectors and the needed software, that deforms the touch space display.
The LG concept phone’s touchscreen is a standard unit, but you’ll also be able to operate it by using the virtual projected screen space. Burst is able to project HD interactive full colour touch areas, that display menus, apps and everything you need. Also, the device relies on a fresh interface that uses sound and motions sensors to detect the user’s actions.
LG Burst also supports video conferencing, through a technology that helps the deaf and hearing impaired users communicate better. Games are also on board, as well as document and media editing , web browsing on the virtual screen, music playback and more. If Samsung’s able to manufacture a projector phone, why wouldn’t LG also create a cool model like this?

We’re not sure if the LG Traveler concept phone took part in the
LG Design the Future Competition, or if it won, but it sure is a winner in my book. Created by Andrew Zheng, the handset is a thin slider with a touchscreen on board and a physical button keypad.
The unusual shape of the LG Traveler phone was created for better grip and this aspect gets enhanced also thanks to rubbers grips on the side. What’s neat is that the concept integrates a portable USB flash drive, for better connectivity and easier handling of content and transferring from PC to phone and viceversa.
Traveler comes with a Bluetooth Instant Media Share feature, that allows the users with the same model to quickly exchange info and there’s even a “ready to go” folder, always about to be sent to the person you connect to via Bluetooth. Picture cropping is also supported on the device, thanks to the touchscreen technology and there’s even a GPS hotspot application included.
The GPS hotspot app allows one to save and pinpoint his or her favorite places, from a picnic spot, to the place you parked your car or the area you lost your dog. LG Traveler includes a simple top LED caller display, making the visualisation of the caller or time easier, when the phone is in your pocket.
At the back of the handset there’s a 5 megapixel camera with flash and I really have to say that I’m impressed with this concept, perhaps even more than this other LG phone design. What do you say?
[Thanks Andrew Zheng]

Remember the
LG Design the Future competition? This contest allowed the best designers to show the world their views regarding the future of mobile phones and now, we’ve got one of the winners pictured below. LG HiFi is both a concept headset and a phone and it turns from one design to the other easily.
HiFi is a touchscreen phone that can be turned into a headset and wrapped around the head for audiophiles to enjoy. Also, the handset can be incorporated into laptops and netbooks, thanks to slots and can be worn on the user’s wrist.

Kenny Lohr II created the LG Oyster Mobile, a concept phone that’s both elegant and innovative, probably fitting the thin wrists of young ladies. The device draws its inspiration from oysters and it comes with a plastic casing with translucent areas, that let the LED lights shine through.
The phone uses the thin film rechargeable battery technology, an OLED screen and also supports Internet connectivity, plus social networking. Too bad that we can’t see more of the LG concept phone’s inside, but the outside is also not to be neglected.

We’ve seen phones inspired by perfumes, flowers and even animals, but this is the first time I’ve seen a whiskey-themed device. Juyoung Kim designed the
LG Cyon Whiskey concept phone, that changes its color to a “shade of whiskey” showing the distance of the person calling you.
This handset packs a full touchscreen display, an 8 megapixel camera and uses its ability to change color like a chameleon, in order to show the distance between people chatting on the phone.
If you’re talking to someone that calls from the same town, the phone will display a “mild whiskey” color, but if you’re getting a call from thousands of miles away, LG Cyon Whiskey will change its color drastically, to a darker shade.

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.

Io Design sees the future of LG Electronics’ mobile phones taking the shape of the device pictured below. The Recall concept features a flexible hinge, and OLED display and a curved profile that can make any Motorola phone jealous. This slim device uses an uncoventional hinge, staying open after being flipped, just like a measuring tape.
