Blloc Phone was born out of the realization that contemporary smartphones, with their myriad of features and apps, often hinder rather than help productivity. The designers sought to create a device that prioritized communication and efficiency over entertainment. The result is a smartphone that synchronizes its software and hardware technology to provide a seamless, distraction-free user experience.
What sets Blloc Phone apart is its unique operating system. By merging all app-based conversations into a single timeline, Blloc OS simplifies communication and ensures a continuous flow of dialogue. This innovative feature eliminates the need to switch between different apps, making communication more efficient and straightforward.
Blloc Phone is not just unique in its software design, but also in its hardware technology. The smartphone is built with a power-saving AMOLED display and a power-bank size battery, making it a reliable tool for the working professional. The aluminum unibody shell, created with a laser and CNC cutter, further enhances the device's durability and user-friendliness.
The design process of Blloc Phone was not without its challenges. The designers had to ensure that the hardware was robust yet user-friendly and that the user interface made minimal use of the hardware. The solution was to synchronize the hardware and software components, resulting in a system that functions fast and precisely.
Blloc Phone is a testament to the power of design in enhancing productivity and communication in the workplace. Its unique features and innovative approach to mobile operating systems have earned it the Silver A' Digital and Electronic Device Design Award in 2017. This award recognizes top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that showcase outstanding expertise and innovation.
