revive smartphone

unlike other electronics, the revive smartphone was developed with re-manufacturing, re-use and recycling in mind. the concept was created by kinneir dufort with a user interface designed by duncan shotton. the phone itself is designed for easy disassembly allowing it to be recycled easily or simply upgraded through replacing different components. by combining this with simple software upgrades, users can continue to repair their phone rather than throw it out and buy a new one. the concept also includes a membership system that rewards users for keeping their phones longer. the design features a curved form factor that fits better inside pockets and compliments the touchscreen display that covers the entire front side. the backside is covered in a brown leather to reflect the lifespan of the device. the ui is also designed to encourage a long lifespan by creating a relationship with the user.
