That’s like wow!! Great concept dude. I would love to have a phone like this.

Perfect; great job. I love the color scheme, yellow is horribly underused. I’d wait in line for days to buy this.

nice concept ! I don’t like the yellow ..

Wow, this is the first project I’ve ever been really impressed by on Yanko.

My only suggestion would be to change the typography, that curly font is sort of awful: too kitschy and feminine.

Thanks for the feedback, Rawwhale! I’m glad someone thinks so.

On the type: I think it may be a bit too much for some people, but I really wanted to go all out to provoke a friendly/cute/approachable feel to the interface. Obviously, there are probably more suitable fonts out there.

Thanks, Mirci! I completely understand – color’s a very subjective thing, and it’s a love it or hate it reaction. If I were to expand this concept, it would definitely include color variations that all evoke the similar friendly feel. The color of the avatar would also change to reflect the color outside, as if they are one and the same.

I’ve tried some projects with muscle wire (flexinol) before with pretty disappointing results. At the time it could only bend up to 3%… now it’s up to 5% but I still don’t think it will have the strength or range of motion you are looking for here. I wouldn’t abandon the idea forever… but I would love to see this on the market in a few months even if that means scrapping the muscle wire features.

Also, modular components can be considered “green” but not necessarily “sustainable” because the steel, plastic and fossil fuels needed to run the factory and shipping system don’t regrow themselves, once they run out the cycle stops. You need to keep producing new modules, shipping and recycling the old ones and that uses up finite resources. I know every designer on earth misuses this word but lets try to change that! Great idea though, just semantics.

Thanks…your article…good job

My favorite part of this design is the avatar, it flows from the body of the phone and it creates a relation ship with the user through it’s “personality”. the modai also has an interesting user interface, and the screen is perfect because it offers the most it can for it’s size. also modai’s features are all that any user would need, but i also hope it runs apps. Great design, well done

Nice! I want one (if it will come into realization). I like best is the modular-terminal concept and the very intuitive UI/software.

** Oh and yeah, I also don’t like the yellow color too

I love this idea! My phone is always with me but the human interaction is missing. I especially love how you can interchange upgradable parts (camera, ect.) and reduce waste. Great idea! Please let us know if it ever becomes available for sale.

I am in love. Oh my goodness.

This is AMAZING! It’s the best concept for a phone I have ever seen on this site. Keep up the good work!

wauw i love this now also put in an app store of some sort with games and other things to upgrade the phone with, and it would be an iphone-killer i really like the backside, i dont know the material, but if it is some sort of rubber it would be great protection for your battery and memory
did you make this as an serious project for a company or some thing, or for something else?

Peel wire and muscle stand .. that’s cool!!!

I like

so it real????

omg !!! perfect

awesome thing but wheres the price for it;/

Picture 2: Whoa… that’s my name… but I’m a college junior, not a stupid freshman. And I look nothing like that guy.

Overall, this avatar API looks childish. I’m reminded of Microsoft’s Clippy. Even if the object was to humanize technology, you’ve gone and made me feel like a toddler.
