Pantech are bringing a new technology to Korea this year by using magnetic levitation to make phones even slimmer.
In a bid to beat Samsung and create the thinnest phone in the Korean market Pantech has created this 9.9mm thin model which uses magnets to create a smooth sliding mechanism. Brilliantly, because the usual spring doesn’t need to be used, this shaves vital millimetres off its size. Imagine if Samsung gets hold of this technology!
The Pantech includes a 1.3 megapixel camera and MP3 player.
Pantech spokesperson Yang Yu-in commented:
This will be the world’s first cell phone based on magnetic levitation technology. The top half of the slider moves via magnetic power.Thanks to magnetic forces, its users will be able to almost automatically slide open their phones and vice versa. This is an out-of-box product.
