The World's Largest Cell Phone


Mr. Tan of China, Songyuan City, claims to have built the largest cell phone ever with hopes of getting in the record books. Mr. Tan made an exact replica of his cell phone but 620 times larger; which weighs 48 lbs and is 3 ft high.

A local journalist tested the phone by making calls to it and sending text messages. The journalist announced the phone is completely functional.
Mr. Tan claims the cell phone has all the functions of a normal phone, including a built-in camera, and Internet access; however, it has to be plugged into a house outlet because he hasn't managed to build or find a big enough battery.

Mr. Tan, an electronics enthusiast, says he came up the idea for the giant phone a year and a half ago and started work on it with his father six months ago
