NOKIA 7280

Known globally as a ‘lipstick phone’, Nokia 7280 had something charming about it, undeniably. The design felt really futuristic, and a part of a Star Trek base, but loved by people a lot.

The 7280 was aimed at the fashion-forward crowd as it was a part of Nokia’s Fashion Phone line. The design was inspired by lipstick in red, black, and white. Furthermore, the screen was designed in a way that used to turn into a mirror when inactive. It has no keypad, but Nokia put a dial for people to navigate. Nokia 7280 was not a convenient device, but it certainly glamour the crowd with its unique looks.

The smartphones now are powerful with heavy features, however these funky designs did have something. The list doesn’t ends here as the more we go back, the more interesting smartphones looked! Although, it’s universally believed that keeping things subtle is what we like, but we cannot deny the fact that smartphones looked much varied earlier. They were much more more fun!
