The smartphone era won’t be over just yet and phones are expected to be smarter than ever. They may share the market with wearables now but smartphones are expected to transform into something else. Take for example this project currently on Indiegogo, the Dragonfly Futurefön.
The Dragonfly Futurefön is a smartphone that can transform into a mini laptop. The design team of this innovative mobile device wants to reach global mobile domination with their product. Dragonly is a folding mobile device that works as a smartphone, tablet, and a dual-display ultrabook. We’ve seen similar gadgets already but this looks more handy and more convenient to use since it runs Windows and Android.
Dragonfly Futurefön is made of high-quality aluminum uni-body body so you know it’s tough. It features a special illuminated keyboard, slide-out touchpad, and dual monitors. What’s good about this 3-in-1 device is that it can use one data plan. No need to get three separate ones.
The right display is called the Slingshot. This part detaches to work as an Android phone or tablet. It’s a phablet that works with a Smartpen and docks to the Dragonfly. When the Slingshot part is detached, the base can still work via WiFi or Ethernet.
Another reason why this is a winner is the Quad Folding design. It’s very mobile and portable when folded but is still a space saver even when unfolded. There are three sub-systems that are charged by one cord but LED lights indicate the individual sub-system.
As described by the Dragonfly designers, the components work synergistically and symbiotically. While you stream media files to a TV or bigger screen, the Slingshot phone can work as a remote control. Of course, the device also makes social computing easier. You can simply share files by giving your friend the other half of the display. It’s that easy.
Crowdfunding campaign started on Indiegogo last October 20 and it will end on December 19. Goal was only $10,000 but more than $500,000 dollars have already been given as donation. You can still give any amount you want but $400 will already bring you a long way. View all perks and options over at Indiegogo.
