ALO Phone: Is This the Future of Smartphones?

ALO Phone, ALO Phone Future Smartphone Concept by Xiaomi Mi Mix Designer,

The smartphone industry has been rapidly evolving for the past couple of years but now seems to be reaching a standstill. Major players like Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and others appear to be running out of innovative ideas, as recent device releases have been more about refining existing models than introducing true innovations.

Is it Time for a New Smartphone Concept?

Enter the ALO Phone, a smartphone concept by designers Philippe Starck (known for his “futuristic” design of the Xiaomi Mi Mix) and Jerome Olivet. These designers have sought to bring to life a vision of the features that could be integrated into future phones. The defining feature of this concept is its reliance on voice commands, essentially creating a new form of man-machine interaction.

The ALO Phone is an unconventional smartphone in various ways. Notably, it lacks a traditional display. Instead, it features a fully aluminum unibody design covered in a special resin designed to adapt to the user’s grip, ensuring enhanced ergonomics. A central element of the ALO Phone is its artificial intelligence, which will enable the device to carry out tasks we currently perform using touch-based interfaces via voice commands.

Although the ALO Phone is currently a concept, the designers are collaborating with Thomson to create a working prototype of this device, with the hope of realizing this vision in the future.
