Eye - a full-fledged smartphone on Android as a cover for the iPhone

While other developers are struggling to make Android work on the iPhone, craftsmen from Esti decided to go a completely different way. The company is developing a case for smart phones from Apple, which in itself is a Android-powered device.

If you wear a bag (if you can call it that), named Eye, on the iPhone, you get a hybrid Charger: on the one hand a person can use the smartphone features iOS, on the other - an opportunity Android 7.1.

The product uses a speaker, microphone, and both the iPhone's camera, but otherwise is completely independent unit. Cover is equipped with a 5-inch AMOLED-display, two slots for SIM-cards, a microSD-slot, 3.5mm audio jack, IR port, its own battery and NFC-chip.

Obviously, to attempts to run Android on your iPhone this device has nothing to do, and is a kind of symbiont. Despite the fact that the case is quite unusual way extends the functionality of one of the world's most popular smartphones, development Esti can not boast of something that does not exist in any device on average Android. Based on the specified page on Kickstarter characteristics, it is a regular phone with no outstanding performance.

The cheapest version of the cover without the 4G-chip is offered at pre-order registration for $ 95 with a communication module - for $ 129. When the Eye will be on sale, the retail price of the first and second embodiments will make 189 and 229 dollars respectively.

However, before you finance the project, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the Esti - a new company, which was formerly produced nothing.

If the project will collect the necessary sum (and the probability of this is very high, because at the time of writing the material developers received more than 82 thousand dollars of the 95 million required), then send copies of depositors will begin in August or September this year.
