I've seen the original a few times and it is one of the epic Iso-Arska movies (Big Arnold, that is...) The remake I know nothing about.
What do you mean, make phonecalls with touching glass? What glass?

This is an issue that irks me with the majority of todays sci-fi movies tbh. There is little or no imagination used for Future tech that is not already possible in some way or is not really anymore than 15yrs ahead of what we have now.
Most of the mainstream movie studios appear to be using the idea of "relate-able realism" to hide the fact that they have lost their imagination.

Get the basics down first.
Siemens Me45 is one of the most famous of waterproof mobile phones (used by Jason Bourne in The Bourne Supremacy film, for instance; and Aptera had an appearance in Star Wars; both Siemens Mobile and Aptera are now bankrupt). Waterproof, dust-proof, shockproof, and excellent aesthetic design.
Ericsson R310s is also quite original, with external antenna akin to a shark's fin. Nokia 5500 and Samsung B2100 are more recent models.
"Never runs out of battery" is the most impossible part. Solar battery - when sun is here. Motion-winded electricity generator, akin to wrist watch - unless the phone is lost and stationary. Thermal electricity generator - unless it's too cold outside. Nuclear power generator - even it can run out, with time.
Best wishes.

Your friend didn't explain well the concept.
The phone was insert on the hand, you can "talk to the hand".
If you want image, you just need to put the hand over a glass.
It was a remake so have some stuff from the original and a lot new stuff (history speaking), i have a mix feeling when i saw it.
Sorry about the first image, in a quick serch this is the best image i found of the hand phone of the movie.
The second one is when put it on a glass image thing.
Greetings.
