We have Nokia C1, Nokia Swan, and Nokia Power Ranger as the best current smartphone concepts expected to be made by Finnish company Nokia. And today we want to add one more into the series: Nokia Morph.

Actually, unlike the others, Nokia Morph concept used to be unveiled on February 25, 2008 at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. It was the product of a joint study into the future of mobile phones by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Centre. Moreover, they presented Morpth as part of the museum’s “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibit.

“Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices… The Morph concept shows what might be possible,” said Bob Iannucci, Nokia’s chief technology officer.

Accordingly, Morph shows that the future of phones may be stretchable, flexible, and even able to let users transform their machines into different shapes. Besides, it also demonstrates what nano-tech can deliver: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. More specifically, whether you want your device to be a tablet, a music player, or a normal smartphone, Nokia Morph will do it all. As we can see, this Nokia product can feature 3 modes: Standard, bracelet and landscape.

At that time, people predicted the Morph’s elements could be available to integrate into high-end smartphones within 7 years, which is 2015 or 2016. Unfortunately, perhaps we have to wait until next year to see such tech. And who knows, it will probably come true along with the Nokia’s comeback. But, let’s say, recently Samsung has also been rumored to use the flexible tech for their handsets in the future. So, we do not know who is going to be the volunteer in this kind of field.

Anyhow, back to our Morph, do you like the Nokia Morph design? Tell us!
