Tissue conduction smartphone
The new smartphone will transmit sound through tissue conduction to make it easier to hear a call in noisy areas.
The phone will feature the "Smart Sound Receiver", a piezo-electric actuator that will cause the entire display screen to vibrate. Holding the phone to the ear will allow the sound to travel through both connective tissue and the air in the ear canal, and placing the phone to cover the ear will help block out environmental noises.
The phone will also include the typical cellphone features.
