The conceptual iPhone Q smartphone has been designed by Johan Gustafsson as a chic mobile device for avid users who are looking for a more tactile experience. The smartphone is characterized by its sliding design that opens to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard -- hence the name -- which is perfect for preparing documents, chatting with friends and more in a compact form factor. The device maintains the sleek aesthetic of the real smartphone, but is targeted towards executive users who simply require a physical keyboard to more quickly fire off emails and the like.
The conceptual iPhone Q smartphone harkens back to the original BlackBerry devices with their physical keyboards to help offer a niche segment of consumers with a way to maintain enhanced productivity from anywhere.
