Why Samsung's Transparent Phone will fail.

Samsung IS working on a transparent smartphone. That much we're sure about. But I'm almost certain it will fail, for ONE reason...

It would make my day if you could also follow me on:

What do you think to our transparent phone concept? Does it make you want one? 🤔

[isaacakhigbe]

This will take “Yo where did I put my phone?” to a whole other level

For all those who constantly loose their phones try having it transparent

There's a reason transparent displays are so popular in sci-fi, and it's not because the displays are practical: It's because they have advantages in shot framing. You can show what's on the display and the face of the actor reacting to it at the same time, or show them looking at the screen in a natural pose without the screen obstructing the view of their face. Audiences want to see the face of the actor, they want to see the emotion - and transparent displays just make that easier to shoot. The Expanse uses this to great effect.

I think a far better use of a transparent LED screen would be implementing it into a car's windshield.

Imagine using Google Maps but you can see an arrow augmented onto the road, directing you where to go. No more guessing as to which road you need to turn onto.
Or maybe a warning system that highlights a vehicle or pedestrian before they end up too close to you. No more Change Blindness effect.
Or better yet, it could be used to enhance or alter surrounding color for those with Color Blindness.

There was a show called "Extant" starting Halle Berry and the tech in that show was actually really amazing.. the phones and tablets had this kind of clear thing going and you could bounce your screen from tablet to phone or even from phone to tablet to counter top to mirror to fridge lol.. I mean the way it was executed in this show was amazing. I think this will end up happening with tweaks to it's execution.

Samsung: “let’s make a transparent phone”

Non-transparent phones: “look at these perverts”

[yxllowSnow]

Phone: transparent

Privacy: imma head out

[TLOH]

I wish their privacy policy was as transparent as this new phone they're trying to come out with though...

I'm gonna be honest, the first use case for transparent displays overlay for sights i can think of is in fire arm to display additional information. (Or part of "red dot" if it was possible to merge two technologies).
Be it U.S. Army plans to introduce sight that displays additional information but that's a bit different.

Everyone’s talking about how hard it would be to find it but what about the fact EVERYONE could see what you are doing on your phone

[romank]

Ah yes, like all the times I looked at my phone and thought - how great it would be if I could see trough it! So I could see what's behind it, almost like if I moved it out of my line of sight but more expensive and less reliable!

You forgot about the third: An increasing minority of people are wanting to disconnect from their digital devices for longer and longer periods to simply get away from all this interconnectivity. There's a growing group of people who simply want privacy, away from the prying eyes of algorithms, data harvesters, and busy-bodies.

Samsung: We recommend a black phone case for all of our transparent phones for a better view.

[DarkReaper-ojnd]

Bruh imagine how many phones would be lost after turning them off
For yall sayin the sides would be visible if u can lose your phone now you can sure bet your losin the transparent phone

[StarWarsHour]

I already can’t find my phone normally, but with this, it would be gone forever.
