We often see a lot of news and publications on social networking sites, especially Facebook, about the so-called transparent phones, which are always promoted in those posts sponsored by Nokia, to receive great popularity and interaction between the users of those platforms, which highlights the direct interest of users with this type of device, But will it really exist? Will we see it in the near future? Or are they just dreams that cannot be fulfilled? This is what we will seek to answer and share with you the latest news in this regard.

| Transparent phones - will they really exist, or are they a fantasy |
Let me, dear reader, give you the answer right from the beginning of the article, transparent smartphones are not a lie but can be realized and we can reach it one day, meaning that we will see it in the hands of users in the coming years. It cannot be confirmed with a specific date, but it is coming, especially in light of this development and great competition. The smart device market is witnessing among the various major companies from Google, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, Apple and others.
From time to time we hear about transparent smartphones, although many smart phone manufacturers have developed this advanced technology for decades, but there are still no transparent devices available in the market, and in 2018 Sony reported its intention to develop a smartphone from This type and even its counterpart LG, until recently arrived at the Korean industry giant Samsung.
In January 2020, Samsung filed a patent describing the technology needed to create a transparent smartphone, and showed that this technology is also applicable to other consumer electronic products such as TV, laptop, gaming console, camera, and other electronic devices.
What will this type of device be based on?
OLED screens will be used in this type of device, which is characterized by low power consumption, high brightness and faster response time than conventional LCD screens. The OLED screen is equipped with a transparent luminous display panel through which light can shine, thus the content can be displayed on a transparent screen while users can See him at the same time through the phone.
These screens can be flat but also have sufficient flexibility, that is, they can bend, fold or roll according to the description of the patent submitted by the Korean company, knowing that it goes into many details about the different layers and components required to achieve transparency, as the patent photos show a modern smartphone With narrow bezels and a large transparent screen as shown in the main image above.
But hey where will the rest of the hardware components disappear?
You may have a very logical question in your mind, dear reader, which is: "On my eyes and in my head we are safe and we have believed in the OLED screens that carry very great potential, but where will the rest of the device go from the battery, camera, etc.?" To answer this smart question, there is a very reasonable hypothesis, which is that there is a fairly wide frame that contains the necessary components for the phone.
The companies also raise the possibility of making a part of the screen transparent while preserving a part of it to carry the rest of the necessary components, knowing that the manufacturers are working on the possibility of reducing the size of the components without compromising the important functions, which we see nowhere in the shapes and small components of the devices compared to the above .
Let us mention some advantages and disadvantages of transparent phones
Of course, it seems completely futuristic and there are no signs of the emergence of such devices at the present time, but of course there are many benefits and harms to everything, so what are the direct advantages and disadvantages of this technological innovation? Let the viewing experience be one of the main drawbacks. To what extent will our eyes be able to separate what is in the device and what is behind it?
So our eyes will witness a kind of distraction and fatigue, in addition to the negative impact on the battery life, as transparency is one of the aesthetic components (one of the best advantages) that consumes a lot of energy and which can be dispensed with to provide some charging as is the case in Windows systems, for example and the taskbar in it .
In addition to the above, you might be wondering whether such a phone really offers added value? As we can find some value and benefit in a smartphone that has a double-sided touch screen with somewhat advanced capabilities such as running different applications on both sides and taking advantage of them at the same time or perhaps other advantages in the field of augmented reality.
Finally, will it be expensive or moderate?
As we have seen, it seems that the benefits that such devices carry are very limited compared to the costs involved in developing a phone with such technology, so the question that arises now will there be a market for this type of cell phone? Will it come with some reasonable prices or will it fly in Al Alali?
When looking at the limited advantages that this type of devices can offer at the present time, in addition to the difficulty of developing them, it may seem clear to us that there is no possibility of a large market for these devices now, especially as they will come at exorbitant prices, knowing that such a market needs more time. Which might meet a greater development.
