Of all the different materials you might associate with mobile phones, bamboo is perhaps one that doesn’t spring immediately to mind, but lo and behold someone’s only gone and done made an Android one! In fact they’ve plans to make quite a few as they go on sale across the UK later this year.
The ADzero is the brainchild of Kieron-Scott Woodhouse, a 23-year-old design student, who created the handset from treated bamboo.
Bamboo is a durable material used abundantly throughout parts of the world like Asia for everything from chopsticks to scaffolding because it is extremely strong and light. These benefits will hopefully be evident when implemented in the design of a mobile phone, which can take their fair share of bumping and bashing over the years.
The designer claims the bamboo-encased Android is actually half the weight of the iPhone, despite having a bigger screen.
More after the break...
It’s not clear which version of everyone’s favourite OS will feature on the phone, or indeed exactly what its guts and gizzards consist of. But the ADzero does have a very neat bit of kit in the form of an inbuilt ring-flash camera which should light subjects uniformly and minimise shadows.
Specification and hardware aside, I really think it looks fantastic - clean, eye-catching and very different. Even if it doesn’t turn out to be a powerhouse of a phone, I’d still love to have one.
Have a look at the official ADzero page for yourself, and see just how lovely this thing is in the gallery.
