Swiveling Retro Smartphones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Conceptual Motorola Revolve Revives the Aura Cellphone Design

— March 6, 2020 — Tech
The conceptual Motorola Revolve has been rendered by Carota Design as a new smartphone design that looks to revive a familiar form factor and offer users a different kind of interface to enjoy. The smartphone draws design inspiration from the Motorola Aura that came to the market almost 12 years ago and has been updated with a series of flexible OLED touchscreen displays. The unorthodox shape allows the top screen to swivel around and reveal an interesting user interface that changes how consumers perceive smartphone design.

The conceptual Motorola Revolve boasts a leather finish on the back along with a dual-camera system to make it suited for those who are looking for a familiar yet futuristic smartphone.
