The device has a large AMOLED-display with a resolution of 800×480 pixels and the tactile feedback. The phone recognizes multitouch-motion, as well as provides a high level of three-dimensional graphics.

Synaptics Fuse is built on the Texas Instruments OMAP 3630 processor and in the development of the concept an active role played the companies TheAlloy and The Astonishing Tribe.

The novelty will be showed-off at CES 2010, Mobile World Congress 2010. It is unlikely that this concept will go into mass production, but the technologies used in it will be applied in phones and smartphones for the future.
