Designer Alexandros Stasinopoulos imagined a very interesting Windows Phone concept called Kanavos. This one involves real life tiles, physical squares that make up the body of a WP handset. The designer wanted to combine software experience with the hardware one and create a visual interaction between them.
Vertical and horizontal contrast color stripes are involved in the design of the phone and there’s a strong Windows interface design. To sum it up I can say that the OS and the interface blend and complete each other. Kanavos also gave up on the Windows button from the lower front side of the phone and place it to the sides, most likely together with the other function buttons. This is done in order to make access to the buttons easier when holding the device.
The black and white versions of this phone make me think it looks like a grenade, especially the back part, which is kind of cool actually. There’s also a chocolate bar resemblance going on and this has got to be a very original design study, I have to admit. The idea is that you mustn’t be afraid to explore new formats…

Over the past weeks there was a Twitter account called @evleaks that leaked a lot of new products, including the HTC Accord that’s launching today, Nokia Lumia 920 and 820, plus a mystery HTC tablet. The tablet is pictured below in the gallery and we compare it to the mockup you see as the first picture, a creation of the designer Danny Tu. He was the one who created the brilliant HTC 5 inch phablet.
His creation was so good that even Engadget thought it was the real deal and now he’s back with a HTC Flyer 2012 version called HTC Flyer X7. To me this looks like an elongated HTC One X, especially at the back. It would be cool if HTC launched a new and kickass 7 inch tablet, with Beats Audio technology on board, loud and clear speakers, a decent 8 megapixel ImageSense camera and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Quad core is a must have, especially in the Snapdragon S4 Pro flavour and 2 GB of RAM would also help.
Other than that well, maybe a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution would help, as well as a 2 megapixel front camera. The tablet in the leaked images from @evleaks looks more like a 10 inch device and apparently also borrows a lot from the design of an iMac, a little too much actually… Did HTC create this device only to figure out that it resembles the iMac and then killed it?!
