Have you ever had trouble hearing your phone even if the volume is at its highest? The Nokia Kinetic cellphone concept design solves that problem by providing you with a visual notification.
This clever design concept was created by Jeremy Hopkins. According to Buzz Beast, an “electromagnet is placed in the base of the phone, which allows weight to be shifted, which causes the phone to stand up.” If you want to ignore the call, just gently tap the phone and it will fall back down into standby mode.
