Yes, phones that can fold are cool, but have you ever thought of having a phone that is also a handbag? Sounds absurd, right? But, not to Honor, as it has shown off a concept phone, the Honor V Purse, which can fold and can also be carried as a purse.
As the name implies, the Honor V Purse is designed to be used as a stylish purse. It comes with fashionable, interchangeable straps and chains. Despite its unconventional design, the Honor V Purse is quite practical if you consider foldables practical. It can be folded outwardly, similar to any other foldable phone out there in the market.
The V Purse, or as Honor calls it, the “phy-gital” concept, bridges the physical and digital worlds, says the company.
There are different straps that can be attached to the hinge, making it resemble and function like a purse. The outer screen is always on, showing various handbag pattern-style wallpapers and a team of fashion experts was consulted for this. The foldable can sense motion and gravity and reflect their effects in the wallpapers, and these patterns are ever-changing.
These interactive canvases, which Honor refers to as “immersive,” are not static but react to touch and tilt. The chains, feathers, and tassels that show on the screen appear to move and sway across, mimicking a real handbag as the user walks. The pattern also includes interactive elements, such as app icons that appear as bracelet charms. These can be tapped to access apps like the camera or music player.
Not much is known about the foldable’s hardware. What we know is that Honor is pitching the V Purse as a fashion wearable rather than a full-fledged phone. If you were keen on buying this, sadly, you will not since this is still a concept, and we do not know where the development stands as of now or if it will ever come out as the masses.
