This is not exactly the Nokia N10 that everyone is expecting, but it’s still something that may become real: a Nokia Jolla Sailfish OS handset, created by Sanjaya Kanishka. As you know already, Jolla is a Finnish startup made out of people who left Nokia and wanted a new direction. This direction involves Sailfish OS, a platform based on swiping that may remind you of MeeGo.
Back to the concept you see here, the Nokia Jolla phone features a 4.6 inch True HD IPS+ screen, with a 768 x 1280 pixel resolution and 332 ppi pixel density. The same screen uses PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack technology and Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Other specs include a dual core Cortex A15 processor, a TI OMAP 5432 chipset with a PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU. The device also features a 4 row sliding physical QWERTY keyboard, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage and a microSD card slot.
At the back we’re got an 8 megapixel camera with both Carl Zeiss technology and PureView technology, as well as Xenon flash. The cam offers 1080p 60 fps video capture and optical image stabilization. Other technologies on board of the Jolla Sailfish OS phone include LTE, HSUPA+, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and Dolby technology. Finally, powering up the gizmo is 2700 mAh Li-Ion battery. The facade of the smartphone looks really appealing, while the keyboard seems comfy.
Is it just me or does Sailfish OS look a bit like MeeGo and BlackBerry 10 OS?

Shahin Jazirian has sent us a new Samsung Galaxy concept called Samsung Galaxy King, that’s pictured below. It has a pretty unusual shape, that reminds me of some cool rock guitars, with those sharp corners. The device is shown to us in black and white and it’s got a sloped upper and lower side, with a sharp corner on each diagonal.
I’m not sure how comfortable such a smartphone would be to hold, but what’s sure is that the specs are pretty nice. Samsung Galaxy King comes with a 5 inch 1080p display, a Super AMOLED one, 64 GB of storage, 2 GB of RAM and an Exynos 5450 quad core Cortex A15 processor and a 13 megapixel camera. There’s also the S Voice system available on board, plus active noise cancellation with dedicated microphone. We get TV out via MHL as usual, plus Swype input and Android 5.0, that in this case gets codenamed Double Burger for some reason.
Touchwiz applied to the OS is still here and if you ask me, I’d prefer the Android keys at the bottom to be virtual, rather than capacitive ones. The black version of the handset makes me think of carbon fiber for some reason, so maybe it uses such a material, or maybe not… who knows, actually? What do you think of this concept phone?

You probably know that every once in a while we like to cover the occasional PSP 2 concept or PlayStation Phone, but it’s been a while since the last concept like this was published here. Luckily we came across Jung Ou Yang’s work and he created a brilliant Sony PSP 2 render, that you can see below, in full detail. Stunning, simply stunning!
I’ve seen this idea before and loved it every time: two solid parts and a small and thin display between then, perhaps even a flexible display, although I can’t guarantee that. The Sony PSP 2 features Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G, a front and rear camera, plus a transparent OLED screen that’s probably 5 inches in diagonal. The device is very easy to hold with two hands and very easy to handle. It feels more like a bigger joystick, than a full fledged console, which is cool.
I should also mention that the concept dates from back in 2009, according to the designer, making it even more interesting. The general layout of the D pad, analog sticks and action buttons is pretty much the same as the one we already know, but everything is just… more futuristic and minimalistic. I like how the designer included the charging port on the right inner side and the audio jack and mini USB port on the left inner side. This is certainly a console I’d buy and the shoulder buttons look classier than ever. Simply great!

Ben Ling emailed us two new Sony Xperia concepts, the F and FL models, that are actually not that different, as you can see in the images below. Basically, we’re dealing with two 4.8 inch TFT display smartphones, one with illuminations alert (the F model) and the other one without.
So, Sony Xperia F (picture above) and FL (pictured below) come with 13 and 14 megapixel cameras respectively with LED flash and their screens support HD resolutions. The cameras use Exmor RS sensor technology and support 16x digital zoom. There’s also Full HD video recording available and the handsets use a 1.9 megapixel and 2 megapixel camera at the front respectively. The F relies on a quad core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU and the FL has a slightly upgraded 1.7 GHz Krait chipset. The GPU is Adreno 320 for both and other features include NFC, Xperia Home Launcher, 2 GB of RAM for the F and a crazy 4 GB for the FL.
4G LTE and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean are also in the mix and the lower specced unit will come with 32 GB of storage, while the higher end one provides 64 GB. Sony Mobile Bravia Engine 4, xLOUD and a Standard Li-Ion 2500 mAh battery round up the features list. So, how do you feel about these concepts? Isn’t 4GB of RAM a bit too much?
