Some may say the solution to a top right red bar staring you down constantly may be further innovation in battery technology. But there is another way, and it involves throwing the battery out the window entirely.
A group of researchers from the University of Washington are using Soviet-era technology to make this sans-cell cell a reality. The cell phone uses radio waves which are transmitted from a separate base to power the unit instead of a standard battery.
The functionality of the phone is pretty limited; it can transmit audio and receive audio, but can’t do so simultaneously. It’s a technology which has practical applications when the phone is strictly being used as a phone—don’t expect to find Space Invader pre-loaded on this model. (But did you know that your current iPhone keyboard has a hidden mouse?!)
The hardware itself looks more like the innards of a computer than a standard smartphone, but the pared-down design allows it to function on the least-required energy possible.
For this phone, data overages are a thing of the past. Until this is made available to the public, however, this is your best bet if you’re trying to cut down on data costs.
