The Aston Martin Transparent Phone Concept: Luxury taken to another Level.


To reflect its understated classiness, Aston Martin is coordinating with Canada's Mobiado company to create a  transparent phone. how incredible!!! This luxury car brand has come up with one of the most revolutionizing concepts: a transparent phone. They are hoping to release it soon. it is intended to run on an Android operating system.

I noticed the whole transparent phone idea when i was watching the last episode of the eighth season of Weeds and found it to be too futuristic, but turns out the future is already here. Aston Martin started releasing phones sometime back with the Aston Martin Aspire being released last year and retailing at about $1500 because of the 24k gold casing.


The transparent screen is acquired by using solid sapphire crystals. both sides of the phone are made of platinum and this is where the Sim cards and electronics will reside to keep in line with the transparency theme. However, the Aston Martin logo as well as the Mobiado logo appear on the screen. 

It is intended that the device be used hand in hand with the Aston Martin luxury cars by using the GPRS of the vehicle for foursquare as well as unlocking the doors automatically; acting like a key. It will also have social networking features like Facebook and twitter for easy photo sharing of all the places you visit in your car. A feature that i find really cool is the accelerometer that can be used to indicate precautions such as airbags and seat belt stiffening in case of accidents.

Am too excited about this; even though it is still but a concept. Hoping that it comes through!! Can you estimate how much it would go for?

Am grateful that you stopped by!
