Modu receives record for world’s lightest cellphone
Section: Communications, Cellphones, Mobile
While Samsung remains happy enough with its 5.9mm Samsung U100 cellphone, a little known device called the Modu stole the world record for the lightest cellphone in the world. It stands at 2.8 inches x 1.4 inches x 0.3 inch and weighs just 1.5 ounces. Obviously, there’s isn’t much technology you can pack in a cellphone as small as that, but the Modu isn’t a cellphone in itself anyway, and instead is only a modular cell phone. To use it, you place it inside some kind of “jacket” (a separate housing) which then increases the overall size and makes the Modu work like a typical handset.
The Modu features a small display, a mini USB port, a charger jack and a few navigational controls. It’s as small as, no, actually smaller than a credit card and yet it works just as well as most ordinary cellphones. I have to admit it’s a pretty tight phone. But I wonder, who would want one? I know I don’t.
