A Chinese man is hoping to get in the record books after creating what
he claims is the world's largest working mobile phone. It is 3ft high and
weighs 48lbs and is an exact copy of his own phone - but 620 times
bigger /Lu Feng. 

A local journalist tested the phone by making calls and sending text

messages and pronounced it completely functional, reports City News.
Tan says it has all the functions of a normal phone, with a built-in camera

and internet access but has to be plugged into the mains as he hasn't

managed to build a big enough battery.
"The only other difference is that I didn't incorporate the vibrate function,"

he said.
Tan, an electronics enthusiast, says he came up the idea for the giant

phone a year and a half ago and finally started work on it with his father

six months ago.
"Many friends worried I couldn't finish it, and only my father encouraged

me to continue," he said.
"The neighbours were always knocking on my door asking what was going

on with all the noise from the apartment, and even my wife was complaining."
