If you spend too much time using a smartphone, Companion might be a distraction-free device to consider. Created by designer Joseph Burrell, this minimalist smartphone is designed to provide users with information about their physical environment while also helping to promote healthier habits. It’s constructed from a bioplastic that can easily be manufactured as well as disassembled, thus creating a closed loop system where the material can be recycled several times without ever ending up in a landfill.

Rather than a traditional LCD or OLED panel, Companion uses an E-ink display to save power. Other features include a dual rear camera system, UV / air quality sensors, and a removable back, which could let users install different modules should there be a need. It comes with an injection molded silicone necklace loop and extra accessories to let you wear it around your neck or clipped to a belt loop.

Initial research into how we currently use our smartphones highlighted how they oftentimes act as a distraction from the present moment. This research also emphasized the need to keep the most basic forms of communication in the final form and how important cameras and their advanced technologies are to current smartphone users,” said the designer.
