Smartisan T2: Redefining the All-Metal Smartphone

Winner of the Golden A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2016

In a market saturated with function-driven products, the Smartisan T2 stands out as a smartphone that prioritizes design and user experience. This award-winning design from the Smartisan ID Team is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail.

The Smartisan T2 is not just another smartphone. The design inspiration behind this device was to create a product that diverges from the norm, focusing on design and user experience rather than just functionality and specifications. The result is a phone that is not only efficient but also aesthetically pleasing.

Unlike other smartphones that are made from metal, the Smartisan T2 features an all-metal frame without any plastic seams around the body. The exterior is composed purely of metal and glass in a singular form, with only two essential construction seams. The SIM card slot is cleverly hidden under the volume keys, contributing to the overall cohesiveness of the design.

The unique properties of the Smartisan T2 are what set it apart from other smartphones. The seamless metal frame offers not only visual cohesion but also superior structural strength. The power switch is integrated into the home key for natural and effortless usability. These features, combined with the hidden SIM card slot, make the Smartisan T2 a marvel of design and technology.

The realization of the Smartisan T2 was no small feat. After 588 days of intensive research, the Smartisan ID Team solved a notorious smartphone engineering challenge by eliminating the four plastic/metal seams in the metal frame, redefining what it means to have an "all-metal" frame. The result is a smartphone that is as beautiful as it is robust.

The Smartisan T2 measures 70.84 mm × 144.55 mm × 7.53 mm, a testament to the team's commitment to compact and efficient design. The Smartisan ID Team, who were instrumental in bringing this design to life, have created a product that is not only functional but also a work of art.

The Smartisan T2 was awarded the Golden A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2016. This prestigious award is granted to outstanding and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. The Smartisan T2 is indeed a venerated product and a bright idea that advances art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with its desirable characteristics.
