World's Lightest Cellphone from modu
Just 72.1 x 37.6 x 7.8mm in dimension...that's even smaller than a credit card!
The Guinness World Record for world's lightest mobile phone has been awarded to modu which is designed by Israeli company of the same name. The modu mobile handset weighs in just 40.1g (1.41 oz) with dimesnsions of 72.1 mm (2.8 inches) x 37.6 mm (1.4 inches) x 7.8 mm (0.3 inches). Believe it!
modu first showcased this innovative mobile phone at Mobile World Congress (Barcelona, Spain) earlier this year. modu also happens to be world's first modular mobile phone, supported by a variety of ecosystem partners.
It's a tiny, sleek and highly sophisticated mobile phone that is fully functional. It doesn't compromise on key features like call, SMS and audio playback. Bluetooth connectivity and Mass Storage Device support on its built-in 1GB flash memory chip is also provided. modu can be slipped into a wide variety of modu jackets (stylishly designed phone enclosures) and modu mates (modu-enabled consumer electronic products).
It's really surprising to see such an achievement by a relatively small manufacturer. All we hope is that Nokia, SE, Motorola, Apple and others take some inspiration from this.
