Cool mobile phones in depth

Mobile phone designers come up fresh new designs for handsets with almost every release, making them look better, more fashionable than ever. Cool mobile phones make you stand out from the crowd and feature functions that are just as cool as their looks.

Cool mobile phone design

For many people, iPhones are the apex of cool mobile phones. Their flat, slim form factor, minimalist design and slick touchscreens have revolutionised the market ever since they first appeared in 2007 and has prompted almost all other mobile manufacturers to change their approach to cool mobile phone design.

However, a cool mobile can come in all shapes and sizes. LG in particular has developed a brilliant style for its cool mobile phones that has inspired many other mobile designers. Innovations pioneered on LG's range of cool mobile phones have included the first-ever translucent keypad, as well as cutting-edge collaborations with fashion houses. And you'd be hard pushed not to describe the feature-packed Android phones from HTC and Samsung as cool too.

Samsung's Galaxy range in particular has found favour amongst fans of cool mobile phones and has helped propel the Samsung brand as one of the coolest in the market.
