The Balance Luxury Shell Slide Smart Cell Phone
The brainchild of designer Bence Bogar, the Balance Smartphone not only boasts a distinctively modern shell-slide design but also manages to pack in a host of features such as integral GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth as well 512MB of onboard memory – expandable via a MicroSD slot – whilst also functioning as a desktop clock and digital photo frame when placed in desk stand mode.
Constructed from titanium and stainless steel, the GSM/3G/HSDPA compatible Balance Smartphone measures in at 45×73.5×10.25mm and cleverly works both as a shell and slide cell phone ensuring that, whilst not in use, the 2.8 inch 400×200 pixel 256K TFT touch screen is protected from scratching. The phone also features an inbuilt 5.1 megapixel camera complete with auto focus and 2x zoom.
No word yet as to whether the Balance Smartphone has MP3 functionality, though the inclusion of a 3.5mm jack socket would seem to indicate that digital media capabilities have not been overlooked.
Further imagery concerning the Balance Smartphone concept can be seen via the concept’s website.

I liked The Balance Luxury Shell Slide Smart Cell Phone very much.. But How do I purchase it.
Hi Bala,
Thanks for getting in touch.
As far as we’re aware this is at the concept stage at the time of writing so is not commercially available. That said, we would not be at all suprized if this is picked up by some electronics giant or is the general idea is realised in new up and coming products.
We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled this end so if something comparable does surface, or if there’s news concerning this concept work making it into production, we’ll be posting the news right here.
