Call Me Because You Light Up My Life

The Quartz Tele concept uses large quartz crystals for each numeric number on a dial pad. Below each crystal is an embedded LED. Pressing each crystal illuminates it like a transformer’s energon cube. They all sit on a base with a sharp LED screen that displays pertinent information like incoming calls, dates, and contacts.

Other wonderful concept phones by Tao Ma:

-- The shortest Roll Phone

-- LiteOn Bracelet Phone

-- Ring phone concept - (1st prize in the Sony Ericsson Phone Concept Design Competition in China in 2004)
