linc smartphone concept 3D Model

high-detailed 3d model of a linc concept smartphone.

"linc is a typical touch screen smart phone with all the connectivity and features you come to expect. its got a cell phone, a media player, a web browser, gps, downloadable content, bluetooth, wifi, the latest 3g network. but here’s the catch. linc is leased to the user as a service, not a product. the user holds on to the device for about a year, and when the next generation of hardware comes along, the user receives a new linc in the mail. the lincs inform the user of their hardware upgrade, wirelessly transfer the digital account, and before being shipped back to the manufacturer, linc informs the user of the next part of its journey. linc is to be shipped back to a regional manufacturing facility. the device contains valuable materials like aluminum, glass, and electronic components that the producer can harvest for re-use. typically, mobile phones contain hazardous waste that goes into a landfill or are left in a desk drawer to sit in."
