Obi Worldphone which was co-founded by former Apple CEO John Sculley, launched the two smartphones last year which were remarkable device. Now Obi has launched its new smartphone which is MV1 at the MWC 2016. Obi partnered with Ammunition, a San Francisco-based design studio, for its Worldphone series, which resulted in devices like SF1, SJ1.5 and now MV1. At the first look to the MV1 it doesn’t look much different from the phones launched last year by Obi. It is a combination of looks from SF1 and SF1.5 which are immersed in MV1, featuring the same floating glass display on the rectangular poly-carbonate body.

Robert Brunner, Ammunition founder and Obi lead designer said that “For our markets, the design of the MV1 is a fresh, modern breath of air in a sea of sameness. Its combination of simple form, iconic outline and resolved details make it an object to be desired”.

John Sculley said “The components for all these different phones are mass produced, in the same countries, and often in the same exact factories. What we’ve done with the Obi Worldphone from the very beginning is show that it’s possible to have a beautifully designed phone that fits into your lifestyle at an accessible price without sacrificing form and technology. You don’t have to give up style in exchange for substance. With the MV1, you can have both.”
