Transparent phones could redefine mobile technology, but are they practical for everyday use

Samsung unveiled a transparent phone prototype at CES 2024, featuring Micro LED technology.

Transparent OLED and Micro LED displays allow light to pass through while showing images.

Privacy concerns arise, content on transparent screens could be visible to others.

Challenges include brightness, contrast, and making internal components fully transparent.

Transparent phones could cost around US$1,500, positioning them as luxury tech items.
