Japan once created the world's strangest phone

Before the iPhone, Japan had waterproof phones, online payments, and email. The world was still struggling with 2G connections.

Since the 1980s, Japan has been creating cell phones so bizarre that the world calls them "Galapagos phones."

These phones could surf the web, send emails, and make contactless payments before the concept of smartphones existed in the West.

They feature bold designs inspired by cars, handbags, and even a super compact clamshell model.

“i-mode” technology was born in 1999 to help Japanese people browse the web on their phones when the iPhone had not yet appeared.

Pokeberu, the early messaging device that sparked the texting culture even earlier than traditional SMS.

The domestic market is too strong, making Japan not interested in exporting technology to the world.

Even when the iPhone exploded globally, Japan was slow to change because it was still thriving with traditional "Garakei".

Today, many young Japanese are returning to using old phones, a testament to the enduring vitality of the country's technological heritage.
