Phone producers show us every year some really superb concept phones and even if 99 per cent of those phones never see the production line，they give us a wonderful glimpse(一瞥) of what the phones will look like in a not so distant future.
We’ve made a list of what we think are the coolest concept phones presented in 2010.But do not ask where you can find them and at what price.
1．LG Flutter Concept Smartphone
The LG Flutter has a similar face to the iPhone.
The only difference is that the LG Flutter makes use of radial interface(界面) which is certain to get some attention.The LG Flutter looks more like a fan or a killer’s tool which we see in scifi movies.

4．Nokia Morph
The Nokia Morph is a concept mobile phone created by Finnish company Nokia.The concept was the product of a joint study into the future of mobile phones by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge’s Nanoscience Centre.

5．Clover Phone
On looks it’s just another ordinary phone type，but made in recycled material，which allows the device to be upgraded to meet latest advancements in technology.
