Ben Ling created a new Samsung concept phone, the Galaxy Y II, shown below. We’re dealing here with a lower end smartphone, one that features a 3.2 inch touchscreen with Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The device has the TouchWiz 4.0 interface applied on top of Android and multitouch support for up to 4 fingers.
Samsung Galaxy Y II offers 275 ppi pixel density and a dual core 1 GHz Cortex A9 processor, plus a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash. The camera does 16x digital zoom and 480p video recording and it’s accompanied by a front 0.3 megapixel camera for videocalls. This model somehow runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and it comes with a Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery, plus 8 GB of storage, 512 MB of RAM and NFC.
The new Galaxy Y measures 9 mm in thickness, weighs 97 grams and supports Bluetooth 4.0, as well as microSD storage up to 32 GB. The design is nothing out of the ordinary: one of those cheap, plasticky phones you get for $200 or so or free on contract. Honestly, I prefer bigger devices…

You know Edgar Mkrtchyan from the latest Nokia concepts he created and showed us and now he goes back to the Nokia Lumia 720 and redoes it in the form of a very lovely mockup, shown below. The updated Lumia 720 has basically the same design lines, the same curves, but the handset is now thicker, as it has a bigger battery.
It also has an audio jack and microUSB port, bigger speakers and bigger volume sliders and unlock slider. There’s also a secondary functionality for the slider button, that makes the device mute when pushed. Nokia Lumia 720 now has a PureView camera, an 18 megapixel sensor with 1080p video recording, flash Xenon and LED flash as well. There’s a black magnesium lid in the mix, available in cyan and white, too. I guess that the rest of the specs stay unchanged, including the microSIM card slot, microSD card slot, DLNA and the dual core 1.6 GHz processor.
Storage versions are probably 16/32GB as well as one the first Nokia Lumia 720 concept and Windows Phone 8 is definitely the OS. I wonder if the 4.3 inch 1280 x 768 pixel display is still there, but since Edgar didn’t say anything, I guess it’s still the same. Kudos Edgar for this brilliant design!

Lihet Calin, a designer from Romania envisions the next generation of HTC phone, one that allows a special DSLR camera attachment with all the lens power one needs for stunning shots. The device is called HTC One C and it’s pictured below, together with the much needed lens accessory.
The shape of the handset reminds me a bit of the HTC One S combined with the One X a bit and with an unique camera design at the back. HTC One C runs Android 4.0 or 4.1, has HTC Sense 4.0 applied to it and a kickass camera accessory, that really stands out. It also comes with Beats Audio technology and possibly quad core CPU, for all those image processing needs. I’m only worried about the battery here, since the camera case is powered by the device via microUSB.
We all know what the HTC ImageChip/ImageSense technology can do, in terms of how quickly the camera starts, good burst shots, HDR, macro photography, great video capture and all of that is amplified through this HTC DSLR accessory. Since Samsung just launched the Galaxy Camera, why wouldn’t HTC do the same?

Edgar Mkrtchyan has produced a bunch of really appealing Nokia concepts lately and joining them is his latest work: Nokia Lumia 815. This is a music phone with Windows Phone 8, a dual core CPU and a design based on asymmetry. As you can see, on one side we’ve got a huge speaker area, that should provide great sound from the device. On the other side we have the normal buttons for volume, camera and On/Off. Nokia Lumia 815 runs Windows Phone 8 with Xbox Music integration on top of a dual core 1.6 GHz processor and has a special partition for multimedia. It has a total of 4 large speakers (4 x 5 W) and support for Dolby Digital Plus technology. The audio part is hidden behind a black aluminum band that’s wrapped around this Nokia mockup. One of the sides of the handset is thinner than the other, as shown in the pics, for better holding in the user’s hand.
At the front we have a 4.5 inch AMOLED screen with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution and Gorilla Glass protection, as well as physical front buttons. At the back there’s a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 1080p recording and dual LED flash. Finally, we have a 3MP front camera, 32/64GB of storage, a microSD card slot and 2500 mAh battery on board. Nokia Lumia 815 gets NFC and DLNA certification, too. Is asymmetry viable with today’s design standards?

Hasan Kaymak just sent me another one of his HTC Concepts, this time a model that sounds like a flagship. I’m talking about the HTC One Bloom handset, pictured below. This is a 4.7 inch Full HD smartphone with a very thin waistline and a thin bezel around the screen. The phone also uses 4 LED lights in the lower side for a cooler effect.
Those are usable as notification lights and a flashlight too. HTC One Bloom also features a 3 megapixel Full HD resolution front facing camera for videocalls and taking pics… of your face probably. This concept device integrates Beats Audio technology and speakers, plus it uses the new HTC Sense 4.1 interface. At the back there’s a 13.1 megapixel camera with 60 fps full HD video recording with dual LED flash. As you can see, this model uses 3 capacitive buttons at the bottom and totally strays from the current One Series design, opting for a cleaner look, less bulk and a black/white combo.
Everything is done with great finesse and the handset’s only rounded parts are the upper and lower corners. Other than that we have a perfectly rectangular handset, that I guess is somewhere around 6 or 7mm in thickness. I guess this model runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, since it is modern, but not that futuristic as to get Android 5.0. There’s something really iPhone-ish about this design, but I can’t really put my finger on it…

Our readers who have been following us from 2008 must have heard the name Razec a lot in here, since he was a very prolific designer of Sony Ericsson concepts. Now he’s back with a new design, imagining a combination between a Sony Xperia phone and a Sony NEX camera. The result is the Sony Xperia NX mockup, pictured below.
Razec calls the device unfinished and sees it as a hybrid, with a 24.5 megapixel camera at the back and a very rectangular design. Doing a quick web search, I found that a Sony NEX camera, the Nex 7 model has a 18-55 mm lens bundled and a massive 24.3 megapixel APS-C sensor. The latter can be borrowed in a more compact form and implemented on a future Xperia, being able to do Full HD 1080/60p/60i video. The thing is that the camera I’m talking about  here costs $1349, so the phone will be extremely pricey as well.
Imagine that the camera on its own measures 42.8 mm in thickness and borrowing the sensor for a phone seems like a sci-fi dream for now. As you can see here, the Sony Xperia NX concept is not shown from profile, so it can have a huge bulge for the camera area. I particularly like the area below the virtual Android keys, since it looks so elegant, but there’s got to be more to it than blank space…

Bob Freking just sent us one of his famous concepts that he puts so much work into. This time it’s the Samsung Galaxy S IV that he created and rendered, as shown below. You probably know that Apple beat Samsung in court just days ago, so Samsung must retaliate in the future, maybe with a device like this one, that gives up plastic and TouchWiz and provides one week of battery life.
There’s also a 16 megapixel camera on board, a true Pureview competitor as far as camera tech goes. Galaxy S IV uses a RGB 1080p SAMOLED display at 4.8 inch, but with on screen buttons this time. This is a phone for 2013, that uses an incorporated and non removable battery, that provides a whole week of functioning without charging. Other specs include 32GB of storage, a cleaner TouchWiz without silly gimmicks and a 2 megapixel smart camera at the front. Add to that hyperglaze 2 protection for the case and we’re done.
Bob also imagines that this new Galaxy S model for 2013 will have a metallic unibody case, a 2 GHz Exynos 5 processor and a Super AMOLED Plus 2 display. The OS here is Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie, with TouchWiz Neo on top. The design is very alien-like and actually reminds me of an older Nokia mockup. Do you like this new direction imagined for Samsung?

If you click the name of Ben Ling, you’ll see that he designed a bunch of very interesting concepts, especially Sony ones. Now he’s back with an iPhone 5 mockup, one that involves a 4.8 inch Retina Display with Corning Gorilla Glass touchscreen. It also has a quad core 1.5 GHz Cortex A9 processor on board.
There’s a 12 megapixel camera with LED flash at the back and the screen I mentioned above gives you 391 ppi, a very impressive performance. This iPhone 5 does HD video recording (1080p) and there’s also a front 2 megapixel camera with 1080p capture as well. iOS 6.0 runs the show here and we get iCloud and a standard Li-Po 1910 mAh battery, as well as 2 GB of RAM. 16/32/64 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM and Bluetooth 4.0 fill in the gaps. This iPhone 5 concept measures 8.7 mm in thickness and weighs 130 grams.
The latest rumors say that the new iPhone will only be a 4 inch affair, so we’re far from the huge diagonal of this mockup. Also, keep an eye out for the September 12th announcement of the iPhone 5, since it’s coming soon enough!

Straight from “uva7 dance” comes an email with a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 mockup, this time a huge phablet, one that even passes the 6 inch mark. He’s the same guy who did the Galaxy Note III concept and the design is pretty similar. This time we get a device with a 6.3 inch display, even bigger than the one made by the same designer before.
Galaxy Note 2 features a Super AMOLED Plus 1080p screen here, with 350 dpi, a quad core Cortex A15 processor and 2 GB of RAM. The specs are not that far fetched, but they’re more at the level of early 2013 than late 2012. We also get 64 GB of ROM, a microSDXC card slot, a main 12 megapixel camera with 1080p 60 fps video capture and a 2 MP shooter, also with 1080p video capture at 30 fps. Finally, there’s a 4000 mAh battery under the hood and 2ch stereo sound.
The phablet measures 7.8 mm in thickness and to me it’s more of a smaller Galaxy Tab than a bigger Galaxy S, as the Note is usually perceived. I have to say I dig the straight edges, as I never was a fan of the rounded design of the Galaxy S III. What do you think?

Next week Samsung will officially launch the Samsung Galaxy Note II during the IFA 2012 show in Berlin. We still have no clear idea what the device will look like, although we’ve seen a bunch of concepts already. Ben Ling has a new one, a mockup of the Galaxy Note II, that you can check out below. He also offers us some specs, that are actually realistic for today’s technology.
The new Galaxy Note features a 5.6 inch Full HD Super AMOLED TFT touchscreen display, TouchWiz UI version 4.0 and a quad core 1.7 GHz Cortex A9 processor. At the back we find a 12 megapixel camera with LED flash and the ability to record 1080p video video. The front 2 MP camera does 1080p capture as well. Galaxy Note II runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in this case and offers a Li-Ion 2600 mAh battery on board, plus 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. NFC completes the list, together with a 9.3 mm thick chassis and the usual S Pen stylus.
The phablet weighs 175 grams and gives you Bluetooth 4.0, as well as a microSD card slot. This 2012 Galaxy Note is a bit of a wide affair, since I would have expect it to be longer and not so wide. It’s also interesting to note those 4 speaker grilles, two on each side of the camera, guaranteeing a great audio experience. The real model will probably look nothing like this from what I’ve seen on the web.

I’m totally against top notch camera on tablets, but Hasan Kaymak is not, so he imagined yet another beautiful HTC tablet concept dubbed HTC One Tab. We’re dealing here with a product that has 10 inch, 12 inch and 15 inch versions and it comes with a Full HD IPS display and a quad core 1.7 GHz processor.
I imagined this is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro that the designer incorporated here, but it may be something else (Tegra 3?). Anyway, know that the HTC One Tab tablet packs a 13.1 megapixel camera with Xenon flash a front a 3 megapixel camera with Full HD capture. Other features include NFC, WiFi, 3G and 4G, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB ROM, microSD storage and Beats Audio. This model is also PlayStation certified and promises a battery life of up to 10 hours.
We get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean with Sense 4.1 on the HTC tablet concept and a polycarbonate unibody case, with two great speakers. The front of the tablet is very elegant and reminds me of an iMac monitor to be honest, while the back looks a bit like the Motorola Xoom 1. Anyway it’s a very classy device and also pretty thin, or so it looks.

Well, it seems that Edgar Mkrtchyan is becoming a household name, when it comes to fresh Nokia concept phones. Today he shows us the luxury handset Nokia Louis Vuitton Edition, with Windows Phone 8 on board. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a luxury Nokia phone and something to emulate the elegance of the older L’amour series, so this could be it.
We’re dealing with a Windows Phone 8 device with some minor Louis Vuitton customization when it comes to software. The design of the Nokia concept involves a curved big screen, surrounded with pure gold and the rear area made of polycarbonate, printed in the famous Louis Vuitton pattern. The logo “Nokia Louis Vuitton” is printed in gold as well and protected by two large bumps that make it avoid the contact between gold and the table. Inside there’s a dual core 1.7 GHz processor and upfront we’ve got a 4.5 inch AMOLED ClearBlack display with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution and Gorilla Glass protection.
At the back there’s a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, Xenon flash and 1080p video capture. Nokia Louis Vuitton also has a front 3.2MP shooter, a 2200 mAh battery, 64GB of storage, microUSB, NFC and Bluetooth. To me this like a Nokia Lumia 710 that has been dipped in gold, cut into a thinner form and given the gift of elegance + a bigger screen and CPU. What do you think?

Ben Ling emailed us a new Sony Xperia concept, the Xperia Leon, finally a phablet made by the Japanese company. We’ve seen Samsung phablets, ones made by HTC and finally this mockup for Sony. This Leon packs a 5 inch Full HD TFT scratch resistant display and a 13 megapixel camera with LED flash and Exmor R sensor.
The handset supports 16X digital zoom and does Full HD 1080p video recording. It packs a front 2 megapixel camera, also with 1080p capture and inside the Sony phablet there’s a quad core 1.5 GHz Cortex A9 processor, a Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon unit. The device measures 9.7mm in thickness, has NFC support, a HDMI port and 2GB of RAM. The OS here is Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and 32GB of storage are also included in a package that weighs a mere 149 grams.
Sony Xperia Leon offers 359 ppi pixel density and benefits from the advantage of the Sony Mobile BRAVIA Engine tech, plus the Sony White Magic tech and xLOUD. Finally there’s a Li-Ion 2500 mAh battery on board and Bluetooth 4.0. From the pictures I’d think that we’re dealing with a smaller phone, but instead it’s a bigger one. What do you think?

1 Yottabyte! (1000 Milyar Harddisk)

Nah, pasti pada tanya Yottabytes kan?? Berapa besar sih 1 Yottabytes itu?

– 1.000 Gigabytes (GB) = 1 Terabytes (TB)
– 1.000 Terabytes (TB) = 1 Petabytes (PB)
– 1.000 Petabytes (PB) = 1 exabytes
– 1.000 Exabytes = 1 Zettabyte
– 1.000 Zettabytes = 1 Yottabytes
Gimana, sudah tahu sekarang berapa sih 1 Yottabytes? Yang pasti mungkin saja bisa menyimpan seluruh data yang ada di dunia ini.
Hardisk sebesar itu tentu juga akan membuat kami membayangkan berapa banyak hardisk yang dibutuhkan untuk mencapai kapasitas tersebut apabila mereka menggunakan hardisk kapasitas 1 TB per buahnya. Kalau dihitung mereka akan menggunakan sekitar 1.000 milyar hardisk.( huu...DAHSYAT!!!)
Tetapi dari yang kami baca, kemungkinan besar NSA menggunakan hardisk jauh lebih besar mengingat NSA selalu menggunakan teknologi tercanggih yang biasanya belum ada di pasaran seperti bisa saja mereka menggunakan hardisk dengan kapasitas 25 -100 TB per buahnya.

Hardisk paling Kecil Yg Pernah Ada

Hanya masalah waktu saja bahwa hardisk sekecil ukuran ujung jari anda akan mulai digunakan nantinya.
Toshiba telah berhasil membuat sebuah hardisk yang ukurannya hanya 1/4 dari hardisk 1,8 inch atau 0,85 inch tepatnya.
Hardisk seukuran prangko ini memang saat ini hanya berhasil dibuat dengan kapasitas 4GB (sebelumnya hanya 2 GB) tetapi hanya masalah waktu bahwa kapasitas akan terus bertambah nantinya.
Kalau memang ini berhasil diproduksi berarti ponsel, PDS maupun gadget lainnya dipastikan akan bertambah kecil pastinya. :-)
Satu hal yang agak mengkuatirkan bagi kami, kalau dilihat hardisk ini masih menggunakan mekanik atau sama seperti hardisk biasa yang berarti sepertinya akan cukup rentan atau rusak bila digunakan pada gadget yang bergerak.


USB Terkecil di DuniaKecil-kecil cabe rawit, begitulah pernyataan yang tepat untuk mengungkapkan produk flashdisk yang satu ini. Sesuai dengan perkembangan dan teknologi flashdisk akhir-akhir ini, tampaknya ukuran yang kecil bukan lagi menjadi halangan untuk menyediakan kapasitas storage yang besar atau bahkan bisa menyamai kapasitas hardisk seperti sekarang ini.
Menyadari hal tersebut, baru-baru ini Super Talent Pico menambah kapasitas storagenya flashdisknya dari 8GB menjadi 32GB. Selain bentuk yang kecil dan berkapasitas yang besar, ternyata Super Talent Pico USB drive ini juga tahan terhadap air. Untuk selanjutnya, pihaknya juga akan lebih meningkatkan kualitas produk flashdisk yang diproduksinya. Diharapkan pada minggu ini juga, beberapa model flashdisk ini sudah akan segera dipasarkan. Dan mengenai harganya sendiri, dibandrol dalam kisaran harga 85 USD (850 ribu rupiah) hingga 99 USD (990 ribu rupiah).
