The S800 mobile phone has a colour display with a special feature: it is transparent so that objects behind the display can be seen. Letters and graphics thus seem to float between the two glass surfaces. The phone body and the keypad are clearly offset from the transparent display through a wide metal ring.
Statement by the Jury
The jury was impressed by the innovative design of this phone’s transparent display. The function keys pick up and continue the idea of transparency by combining metallic textures and transparent materials.
