可拼屏手机
Two Brix Are Better Than One

我们见过很多的手机设计不只致力于与信息的共享，还致力于同类似的产品进行显示屏的分享。但他们大多数都是失败的设计，因为他们或许没弄明白设计最根本的就是要实用。Brix是他们当中成功的一个。

首先，也是最重要的，Brix是一款手机。他的整个表面就是一个触摸屏，你甚至找不到听筒的所在。根本没有任何的边框，他的整个前面是百分百的显示屏。其他手机拥有的个性多媒体功能他都有，而他有趣的地方就是当你把几个Brix手机拼到一起的时候，手机的屏幕连在一起成为一个整体。播放的视频文件一下子就变大了。当他们拼到一起的时候，会创建一个临时文件夹用作各个手机数据分享和传递。不需要的时候就直接将他们分开就行了。你还可以把某部手机设置为路由器，用于他们之间进行交互的平台。不可思议的能力就是你想把多少部Brix放到一起都可以，从小尺寸的视频播放到拼成一台大屏幕电视都没问题。再加上外置音响、DVR功能和GPS功能，这一切让他如此的令人惊叹——你绝对会喜欢。

We here at Yanko have seen tons of concepts that attempt to bridge the idea of sharing not only content, but screen real estate with other similar devices. Unfortunately most of those concepts fall flat because they don’t seem to understand the need for a minimalistic approach in order for it to work. The Brix is one of the few that does it right.

First and foremost, Brix is a phone. The entire surface is a touchscreen, even void of a receiver. There is no bezel at all so you really get 100% screen real estate on the front. You have all your personal multimedia functions just like any other phone but here’s where it gets interesting. By stringing together multiple Brix, you expand the screen real estate. Suddenly video is bigger. A temporary virtual shared folder is created to merge content between the devices until they’re disconnected or one device can be designated as the media hub and interface. The awesome thing is the ability to endlessly string together as many Brix as you want. You can easily go from a small media player to a big screen TV. Throw in an external audio jack, DVR functions, GPS and we have a wonder device - like for real.
