The mobile phone design that has been amazing in those years is only comparable to the iphone.

I occasionally read a report some time ago. IDC recently released a quarterly tracking report on mobile phones, which showed that in the first quarter of 222, the smartphone market in China shipped about 74.2 million units, down 14.1% year-on-year. From the external factors, the sustained epidemic rebound has an impact on the consumer budget, and the small upgrade range of new products has led to the continued sluggish market demand. From the point of view of smart phones themselves, there are many brands and models in the market, which is highly saturated. After all, it has passed the era of initial market opening. After years of baptism, consumers' enthusiasm for smart phones is not as high as before, mainly because the homogenization is too serious.

Although each brand of mobile phone system has its own UI and unique design, it is Android after all! The existing design is single, full screen, curved screen, folding screen, and even the camera module is more and more similar, including the "ass" of the mobile phone. Looking back at the mainstream era of functional machines, including the initial stage of smart phones, the shape design of mobile phones can really be said to be a hundred schools of thought contend and a hundred flowers blossom. Let's take a look at the mobile phone models that surprised our time in those years.

1. Nokia articles

1. Nokia QD

Nokia QD is a straight game phone, and its operating system adopts the first edition of Symbian's operating system Series 6. Gamers can play all their favorite N-Gage games on the N-Gage QD, access the "N-Gage Arena" through the mobile network and connect with the global mobile game community, and also participate in short-range multi-player mobile games through Bluetooth wireless technology.

2. Nokia 76

The shape of Nokia 76 is square, and the two diagonal corners are also arc-shaped. A 65K color TFT display screen with a resolution of 128 16 pixels is arranged in the middle of the fuselage, and numeric keyboards are distributed on both sides of the screen. Nokia 76 is quite avant-garde, with interesting key arrangement, unique style and personal taste in design. Moreover, different Xpress-on color cases can be freely replaced, so as to make it possible to personalize the mobile phone.

3. Nokia 728

4. Nokia 761

The Nokia classic 761, which was once a sensation, adopted The Lancet asymmetric design, which was quite fashionable at that time. The classic shape of Nokia 761 is also a highly recognizable and trend-looking design from today's perspective.

5. Nokia 57

Nokia 57 has a unique appearance, which successfully combines 325 and 53 perfectly. It is a rotatable music smart phone.

6. Nokia N72

The popular design of Nokia N72 is revealed by its unique back cover pattern. The sliding covers on the front, sides and back of the Nokia N72 fuselage are covered with smooth and delicate steel paint, while the other parts continue to be treated with fine frosting.

7. Nokia N85

Nokia N85 adopts the unique two-way slide design of Nokia's high-end models in appearance. Compared with N95/N96, which also adopts two-way slide, the mobile phone looks slender and more energetic, and is more suitable for young friends.

8. Nokia N97

Nokia N97 adopts the design of side sliding cover, adopts the opening mode of two brackets sliding in a staggered way, and has a semi-automatic design. The front of Nokia N97 has a metal frame, the back cover is frosted plastic, and the lower end of the back cover has a slightly convex arc design. Nokia N97 uses the design of full touch screen and sliding QWERTY keyboard. There are many functional modules on the left side, stereo speakers on the upper and lower sections, micro USB interface and locking keys. There is also an indicator light next to the USB interface, which will light up when charging. At the top of the fuselage, there is a universal 3.5 mm headphone jack. There is also a phone cord hole on the right side of the speaker and a small opening at the bottom to open the back cover of the phone. The screen lock and Micro USB interface are located on one side of the mobile phone, and two independent speakers are distributed at the two tops of the side. On the other side of Nokia N97, there are metallic camera shortcuts and mobile phone volume adjustment keys. The back of N97 mobile phone is designed with a 5-megapixel camera with a protective cover and the Logo of "NOKIA Nseries". The huge space on the back of the mobile phone is made of engineering plastics with flannel texture.

2. Motorola

1. Motorola V3

The most attractive thing about Motorola V3 is its body design! The slim fuselage is "fondle admiringly" when you hold it in your hand. I really have to admire Motorola's designer's "building" ability, and it is hard to imagine that this is actually a flip phone when the fuselage is closed. The whole machine adopts ultra-thin and elite fuselage made of aviation grade aluminum alloy, showing high-end temperament. The thinnest part of the fuselage is only 13.9mm, which is amazing! The weight of the mobile phone is controlled within 1g, and it feels quite good. Looking at its "true face" up to now, whether it is a black or silver model, it is still so attractive!

2. Motorola A12

Motorola A12 is a mobile phone launched by Motorola in February 26. You can still easily read letters and reply to messages (only reply to pre-stored template messages) without opening the cover. A12 adopts the most common flip shape in Motorola's LINUX family. The side and top of the fuselage are plated with metal, while other parts are covered with piano paint. The delicate and smooth feel is incomparable to those products before.

3. Motorola L7

Motorola L7 is a straight ultra-thin mobile phone launched in 25. Motorola L7 is decorated with a sharp red color, and the side effect is surprisingly thin, and it returns to the theme of card thinning machine. The design of the bar is simpler and easier to use, the exquisite and compact screen makes the display effect rich and colorful, and the laser keyboard is more personalized.

4. The front of the Motorola E8

fuselage is made of glossy mirror material, and the front of the fuselage adopts a relatively fine electroplating and polishing technology, using the virtual music play key and the FastScroll navigaton wheel at the bottom of the screen.

5. Motorola AURA R1

Moto AURA R1 is a fashionable mobile phone launched by Moto in November 28. The opening mode of Motorola AURA R1 rotation is really a surprise, which is very similar to earlier Sony Ericsson S7 and W9, but it is more exquisite in manufacturing technology, and the number of rotations and mechanical compactness are very high. Motorola AURA R1 can be called a walking "textbook" for industrial design.

6, Motorola ME6

Motorola ME6 is the world's first backflip product, using a unique hinge to complete the whole backflip action, the whole machine has a strong metallic texture, which is the perfect embodiment of Motorola's industrial aesthetic concept.

7. Motorola Milestone

Motorola Milestone adopts the design of full keyboard with side sliding cover in appearance, and its body is very metallic, and the tough lines also make the mobile phone look very heroic. In addition, the body thickness of 13.7mm makes the whole machine thinner than similar mobile phones. The sideslip design, excellent performance and first-class experience make it a milestone product of Motorola.

3. Sony Ericsson articles

1. Sony Ericsson W55c

This is a turntop mobile phone. This 25 Wlakman series mobile phone not only has fashionable appearance, but also has powerful audio and video functions of 4 times digital zoom and stereo sound, which caused quite a whirlwind of youth at that time.

2. Sony Ericsson M6i

The overall design of M6i is a circle in the square, and there are no special lines on the front of the fuselage. The large screen of 2.6-inch and 26,-color TFT is quite eye-catching and looks very comfortable. Because the M6i doesn't have a built-in camera, the design on the back is even simpler. Apart from the trademark of Sony Ericsson and the small green ball, it can only be described as "refreshing". M6i has a specially designed QWERTY keyboard. English letters are located on both sides of a single key, but there are no phonetic symbols. There is a groove designed for finger radian in the middle of the key, which makes it feel good to operate with one finger.

3. Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Z1i

No matter from its name or appearance, you can perceive that it is a mobile phone made for games. The overall shape is somewhat similar to that of PSP. The side slider has four direction keys, four game control keys, two touch joysticks, one menu key, one selection key and one start key. Of course, there are also two keys, L and R, of PSP, which are located on the right side of the fuselage and below the slide cover after opening, but in actual use, these two keys are not convenient to use. First, because the touchable area is too small, you can only press it with the upper part of your finger belly, and it is easy to press it if the position is deviated; Second, because mobile games were not rich enough at that time, even PSP games needed to be played through simulators, and these two buttons could not play all the functions. In addition, because the mobile phone keyboard is relatively thin, the key strokes of other game keys are very short, so it is not very comfortable to press.

4. Sony Ericsson M1i

When you first see the QWERTY keyboard, you will react that Sony Ericsson M1i is a business-oriented model. Although it is true, it also takes care of entertainment functions, and it is a rare mobile phone under Sony Ericsson that gives consideration to both work and entertainment.

although m1i gives people the first impression of being a business elite, it belongs to the GreenHeart series. From the word "green", you should know that this series of models are designed with environmental protection as the concept. M1i chose pollution-free environmentally-friendly plastic and waterproof coating that can be decomposed and recycled on the shell, so M1i looked "cheap", which really looked a little less elegant than the full keyboard mobile phone at that time.

5. Sony Ericsson F1i

At first glance, you may not be able to recognize its real purpose. Due to the addition of a large number of jewelry concepts and mirror design, this mobile phone looks more like a weapon to show fashion, just like a small cosmetic case or pendant. The Jalou F1, which is only 73mm long, has a thickness of 18.1mm, which is very small and lovely.

6. Sony Ericsson U1i

The sub-camera and direction sensor are hidden above the screen that occupies 2/3 of the front of the mobile phone. The crystal buttons with thin strips on both sides are U1' s game-specific buttons, commonly known as A/B buttons, which are suitable for horizontal screen games. However, the shortcomings are that the buttons are slightly too thin, and the feel is hard, which is easy to cause discomfort when used for a long time. Let's look at the function navigation key area at the bottom of the screen. In order to avoid the front of the mobile phone looking too cumbersome, U1 designs the five-dimensional navigation key as a traditional round key, and the center confirmation key has a large area. The left and right soft keys of U1 are hidden above the call key, and the soft keys designed for crystal keys are like an enlarged version of the A/B key.

7. The biggest highlight of Sony Ericsson LT15i

LT15i can actually be summarized by its appearance. First, it adopts the ultra-thin fuselage Arc design, from which the word arc comes. The fuselage of LT15i is like a beautiful arc, and the concave design in the middle of the fuselage looks like a different kind of beauty. Considering the previous mobile phone designs of Sony Ericsson and other Japanese manufacturers, it doesn't seem particularly difficult to understand. The thinnest part of the fuselage is only 8.7mm, which has obvious advantages over the 9.3mm of iPhone 4, but it can't be said to be a complete victory because both ends are upturned.

IV. Samsung Articles

1. Samsung SGH-X83

One model with a strange keyboard is the Samsung SGH-X83. This mobile phone adopts a slim rectangular design, so it adopts a rather strange two-line numeric keyboard in its layout. Samsung SGH-X83 mobile phone can be said to be a subversion of Samsung's previous models in appearance. It has the same shape as an MP3 player and adopts a rotatable design, which is Samsung's first real "flip-top mobile phone". It is worth noting that, compared with the Korean CDMA version SPH-S43, this GSM version cancels the special MP3 shortcut key that can be designed at the axis of rotation, and instead, the function key of the mobile phone is designed as a circular turntable, which can conveniently realize menu selection, song playback and fast forward/pause/rewind operations.

2. Samsung B331

3. Samsung D98

Before the Android era, Samsung's most mature model was the slide phone, and even conservative European and American manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola followed suit, among which D98 was the best. 12.9mm ultra-thin sliding cover, with outstanding scientific and technological strength and advanced fashion leadership, deduces the extraordinary temperament of the surpassing person. As the flagship product of Samsung Platinum Series, the D98, the pinnacle of the slide phone, shows the transcendental realm of the transcendent and leads the spirit of the times. Supreme sliding cover, the thickness of the fuselage is only 12.9 mm, and the weight is only 93 grams, showing the transcendental wind. The fuselage lines are bright and neat, and with the Soft Feel soft coating, it feels delicate and soft.

4. Samsung Galaxy S i9

Samsung i9 (the first part of the furious series) adopts the design of large screen touch, and the circumference of the fuselage reaches 122.4 64.2 9.9 mm. From the front, I feel that the i9 has the flagship temperament and is very atmospheric in my hand, but even so, the weight of the mobile phone is only 118 grams, which is definitely the lightest in the same class.

although the mobile phones of the above four international manufacturers have little influence today, they were all powerful more than 1 years ago. They accompany the youth of the post-7s and post-8s, and welcome your valuable comments or supplementary comments here.
