ADzero–Bamboo Smartphone– Becoming Reality

Sometimes it is not all about the hardware, design is important too.

We have posted a couple of times on the blog here at Clove about how we are really interested in the ADzero Bamboo smartphone.

It is so refreshing to see a small startup like this grow.  The ADzero team are re-thinking smartphone design, to give something that is just that little bit different, you could even say special.

Slowly and surely they have developed the design and they have now finalised this.

The specs have been confirmed too:

  • Processor: 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4 Quad
  • Display: 4.5-inch TFT LCD with 720×1280 HD Resolution, 326ppi
  • Handset Dimensions: 134 x 68 x 11.8 mm
  • Operating System: Stock Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich + ADAOS (Open Bootloader)
  • Networks: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz; UMTS/HSPA+ 1900/2100MHz

World’s first Bamboo Smartphone

Adzero Bamboo SmartphoneA design student named Kieron-Scott Woodhouse who studies at Middlesex University here in the UK has built a Smartphone made from bamboo that is expected to be launched fairly soon here in the UK.

The device will be called the Adzero and is made from four year old organic bamboo treated for durability. The Adzero is already attracting a lot of interest after being unveiled at  London Design Week, originally intended for the Chinese market; it appears that it’s now due for release here in the UK.

Full specification of the device is not yet available but we do understand that it’s likely to be running on Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The device will boast a slightly bigger screen than the iPhone 4S whilst weighing only half as much!

Woodhouse said, “Bamboo may seem like a strange material to use for a phone, but it’s actually extremely strong and very durable, perfect qualities for this kind of application.”
