10 of the best smartphone concepts we wish were real

Designer: Ricardo Baiao

The Atlas Kinetic isn't that smart, as it only contains fairly basic phone features, but it uses kinetic energy to charge, so you can juice it up just by moving it. In a world where most smartphones struggle to last much more than a day a handset that you can charge up anywhere, any time would be enormously useful.

It also looks good, with a unique design and a metal and glass finish. You might not think a kinetic solution would generate enough energy to power a phone, but while the Atlas Kinetic is just a concept there is real research in this area, so it's something that we could see one day.

• Project Ara sounds like a concept, but it's soon going to be a reality.
