Nokia is working hard to bring its lab technologies into the latest PureView and Lumia smartphones. Although the Finnish company is still struggling to improve its business, things are looking rather grim, even though the latest Lumia handsets made quite a nice impression.
With Nokia 808 PureView that’s just about to make its debut on the market, the handset maker will surely win back some of the market share lost in the last two years. Even though Nokia was forced to pull the plug on some of the projects developed in its R&D centers, and even close some of these due to low income, it appears that new technologies continue to be researched in its laboratories. One of these innovative technologies that Nokia is working on is called “superhydrophobic” technology and will reportedly make future Lumia and PureView smartphones completely waterproof.
The information has been recently confirmed by Conor Pierce, VP of Nokia Western Europe, during the Lumia 610 launch event in the UK. Pierce claims that Nokia has been secretly developing its own waterproof technology that will be embedded into smartphones, but it did not reveal any timelines for the implementation. Here is how Nokia’s Conor Pierce explained the company’s innovative “superhydrophobic” technology:
“What happens when a drop of water lands on a lotus leaf has baffled scientists for generations, but our team in Cambridge UK found a solution. Nano technology lets us do it. Superhydrophobic technology makes water bounce, it stops it, rolls it off the device and leaves it water impregnant, that’s the magic, that’s what we’re going to bring to the party.”
Hopefully, Nokia’s project won’t be buried like many other interesting innovative technologies that never saw the light of day. For the time being, the idea of waterproof Lumia and PureView smartphones sounds very optimistic and the technology behind it looks pretty amazing. Check out the video below.
