Infinity

Infinity is a smartphone with a back cover that creates a repeating light reflection effect. Mirror silver plating is applied to the lower and upper layers of the back cover, and a gap between them lets light reflect many times. A silkscreen pattern allows light to pass through selected areas. The result is a three-dimensional light effect within a slim body measuring 163 by 76 by 7.7 millimetres. The light colour can be changed in the phone settings. Different light effects can be set for message alerts, so notifications are visible without turning on the screen.
