Porsche P'9522 phone

The P'9522 is the latest mobile device to emerge from the studios of the Porsche Design Group. Since the early 1970s, this offshoot of the legendary car maker has turned its hand to all manner of consumer goods and electronics, helping serve up a sleek, post-Bauhaus aesthetic that also extends into sportswear and fragrances, all created out of a studio in Zell am See, Austria, and sold in specialist outlets around the world.

The Porsche Design P'9522 takes the candy bar form familiar from millions of phones and ups the aesthetic ante through the use of solid aluminium block and scratchproof mineral glass. Throw in a touchscreen display, GPS, a fingerprint sensor, WiFi and a five megapixel camera, and the P'9522 makes a good case for being the only device you'll ever need. For now.
