There’s something about Transformer Concept Phones that brings out a boyish sense of wonderment, none more so that this flip happy design by Shkinder Maxim that is at once a cell phone, photo/video camera and 3D scanner.

Clearly ahead of its time in a commercial sense, the radical form factor allows multi-functionality following various swivels and flips.

In addition to the multi-facted functionality and flipping the phone features multimedia player and projector, great for the 3D scanner in theory allowing storage of 3D holograms.

When such technical marvels may be readied is anyones guess - its the waiting that hurts the most.
