Cell phone model designs are often extreme yet cool. When  concept phones are too eco-friendly, then they rocks the charts. These 15  futuristic green gadgets are imaginatively cool idea cell phones and  accessories that we’d love to see developed and on the mainstream market soon.

Wearable   Solar-Powered Leaf Phone Charges on the Go


(image credits: Yanko   Design)Designers Seungkyun Woo and Junyi Heo were inspired   by photosynthesis. The Leaf cell phone is a wearable bracelet phone that   accumulates power from solar cells on its front panel. As a backup, it   also can be recharged with electricity. The Leaf offers high-tech   fashion and function, however its main objective is to “remind people   that they can contribute to energy efficiency.”Mechanical   Mobile Spin Finger Phone(image credits:ubergizmo)Designer   Mikhail Stawsky came up with the Mechanical Mobile, a concept cell   phone that can be charged by spinning it around your finger. Touchscreen   technology meets the Wild West? This design might be for the modern day   cowboy. Like gunslingers of old, the quickest draw to twirl and power   their phone wins?Biodegradable Grass Cell Phone(image credits: inhabitat)Je-Hyun   Kim designed a cell phone meant to last only for as long as the length   of its functional life cycle. The grassy casing on the Natural Year   Phone concept will slowly dissolve, leaving the keypad and screen to be   recycled. This biodegradable phone is a great idea, but you might want   to avoid using it on a rainy day.Mobile Script Phone(image credits: Yanko   Design)Designer Aleksandr Mukomelov created a sleek, thin   cell phone concept that sports two touch screens. One is a traditional   screen and the second is a flexible OLED screen that stiffens when you   unroll it. The Mobile Script phone has most any feature you might want,   like internet access, documents on the go, games, communication, and   mobility. Can it get any better? Oh yes. You don’t ever need to recharge   this phone. The case is coated with a photo sensitive nano material   that converts sunlight into energy.Scrap Wood Phones(image credits: dvice)Touch   Wood concept phones are made from cypress wood scraps. The protective   coating allows these biodegradable phones to be waterproof,   insect-proof, and mold-proof. Touch Wood phones have a touch screen and   camera.Kinetic Flexible OLED Cell Phone
(image credits: core77)If   you are a rabid texter, then this concept phone might be for you.   Kyocera’s Eos folding concept phone “feeds off of our physical   interaction with it, translating kinetic energy into an electric charge   via an array of nano-scale piezoelectric generators. The more we   interact with Eos, the more energy it creates – without using   batteries.” The flexible OLED screen can fold to wallet-size, able to   open and close with shape memory.OLED Roll Phone(image credits: coroflot)Designer   Tao Ma has created the world’s shortest roll-up phone. The display   screen rolls up so the entire phone is about the size of film canister.   The tiny keypad roll might prove challenging to keep from making fat   finger typos. It does run on batteries but the OLED screen makes it   eco-friendly.Tenna
(image credits: Yanko   Design)Designer Yuree S. Lim created a screen-less phone   that uses voice recognition-based UI. The 1.5 inch Tenna cell phone   concept breaks down into a detachable ear piece and a USB mini port.   Plug Tenna in and it transforms any gadget with a screen into a cell   phone.Motorola Origami(image credits: core77)Origami,   a Motorola concept cell phone, is made of thin segmented “technostuff.”    It “can be folded into different forms to serve different functions:   phone, recording device, camera, and, presumably, a pointy paper crane.”Coke   Powered Phone
(image credits: treehugger)Daizi   Zheng designed a cell phone to run on Coke. Her design has the   potential to operate three to four times longer on a single charge than   conventional lithium batteries. She wrote, “The concept is using bio   battery to replace the traditional battery to create a pollution free   environment. Bio battery is an ecologically friendly energy generates   electricity from carbohydrates (currently sugar) and utilizes enzymes as   the catalyst. By using bio battery as the power source of the phone, it   only needs a pack of sugary drink and it generates water and oxygen   while the battery dies out.”Finger Phone(image credits: Yanko   Design)Do you talk with your hands? Then this concept phone   may be for you. Finger Touching is a wearable mobile device for   enhanced chatting. Excluding the thumb, each finger joint makes up 12   buttons for input.Camera-Projector-Printer Phone(image credits: Barakan Design)Designer Hideo   Kanbara created a phone that is truly full-featured and  meant for   multitasking. Much more than a cell phone, it also functions  as a game   controller, photo printer, and projector.Sticker Cell Phone
(image credits: Yanko  Design)Designer   Liu Hsiang-Ling considered that people place their phone close to a   window to pick up better signal reception. The Sticker Phone has a solar   panel on the back. The shape is slightly arched so the phone will stick   via suction onto a window to charge.Viber Burst Kinetic Energy   Charger(image credits: ecofriend)Josh   Pell developed a concept charger known as Viber Burst. It harnesses the   power of motion to charge a cell phone. Viber Burst can be carried in   your pocket, your purse, or even attached to your shoe. Once fully   charged the device can dump all that energy into your cell phone’s   battery in just two seconds.Cell Phone Battery Concept Charges   with a Flick of a Finger(image credit: unplggd)Designers   Song Teaho and Hyejin Lee may not call this a “green” concept, but   finger powered batteries are eco-friendly. If your cell phone is running   low on battery power, you pull out the battery and spin it around your   index finger. It will be recharged long enough to let you have a   conversation or to get to a electrical charger. It would be great to see   this developed to last longer.
