This new kickstarter campaign could end the eternal iPhone vs Android dilemma. Eye os a smartphone case which is literally an Android phone disguised as a iPhone cover or vice versa.
The case promises to strap a 5-inch AMOLED screen to the back of a user’s iPhone.
The phone also boasts a screen-mirroring feature that helps you take better selfies. The iPhone, like many other devices, has a better rear camera than front camera, but it obviously can't be used for selfies or front facing video. Eye fixes this by mirroring the display of the camera app to its screen, so you can use the rear camera with the convenience of the front camera.
Similarly, the Eye case supports wireless charging and powers the iPhone via the Lightning port — a clever workaround. Eye also features a headphone jack: WOW!
“The current technology of the iPhone LCD display is old,” reads the Kickstarter description. “In comparison, Eye’s screen is using the best display technology on the market today called AMOLED.
“With this technology, all colors, including real black, are much more vibrant on the screen. (There are rumors saying that only the premium version of the iPhone 8 will have an AMOLED display).
“Additionally, the display size and resolution of the iPhone 6, 6s and 7 is only 4.7" and 1,334 x 750. Eye's screen is 5" and 1,920 x 1,080!”
However, the Eye is pitched as far more than just an additional display.
It runs Android 7.1 Nougat and comes with its own 2,800mAh battery, a 3.5mm headphone jack, NFC, two SIM slots and a microSD card slot.
Meanwhile, it makes use of the iPhone’s cameras, speakers and microphone.
Esti has made a lot of promises, but hasn’t revealed the hardware the case will run on, simply describing it as “its own powerful chipset”.
These are all tall claims lets see how may the Eye will be able to live up to!
