The Ultimate Smartphone for Creatives

Centered around Microsoft’s unique focus on creation and productivity, the Surface Phone introduces a beautifully-designed Surface product into the realm of smartphones.

Following in the footsteps of the Surface tablet, the Surface Phone is powered by Continuum, and able to transition to a full-fledged desktop PC when equipped with a monitor and keyboard. This means you can keep your files and programs on one single device. No mouse necessary, Surface Phone’s touchscreen works as a touchpad with an added intuitive user interface to bring an entirely new, powerful way to experience Windows on the desktop.

As for photography, the Surface’s Fusion Camera is a combination of four powerful components: a wide-angle lens, a zoom lens, Xenon flash, and a laser-tracking device. These four parts work together to not only create high-quality photos, but power space-tracking capabilities. Not to leave out the VR revolution, the space-tracking capabilities of the Fusion Camera are able to record experiences for HoloLens. Experiences recorded by Fusion Camera, enjoyed through HoloLens make the user feel as though they were there put in the place of the person who recorded it. Now you can experience standing at Tiananmen Square, or a plaza in Rome, or in the middle of a vast plain in Siberia, all with a Surface Phone and HoloLens combination!

As if all that weren’t enough, it also features a specialized Companion Cover that works not only as a screen cover for Surface Phone, but also as an extra battery and additional USB-C ports. Additionally, Companion Cover allows the device to be put into a multitude of different positions.

A Walkman for modern times!

Sony had such potential! They were masters in the camera domain anyway, and with the Walkman they ruled the music domain too. Sony could have truly created the most loved smartphone, but alas!

The Xperia Walkman by Casmir Valeri just goes to show how Sony could have created a smartphone that was at the crux of great imaging and great audio. The Xperia Walkman’s wedge design may not appeal to all, but my eyes are set on that beautiful jagged mini jog-dial where one would expect the home button. In some ways, I would expect this the be the most direct evolution of an mp3 player like the iPod. They too had jog-dials beneath the screen for ease-of-access. We all know what an interaction dream they used to be for users!

The phone’s wedge shape isn’t just a meaningless design detail. It actually comes with an audio dock that has a reverse curve. Dock the mobile into the top of the speaker unit and the design is completed. This beautiful connection also pairs the two gadgets, turning your phone into a boombox… because if you own a Walkman phone, you’re obviously the music maestro!
