HTC Legend 5 Design by Hasan Kaymak + HTC Sense 5 Lockscreen Video
Hasan Kaymak, the guy behind the HTC
Concepts community sent us his latest render, the HTC
Legend 5, accompanied by a video showing a HTC Sense 5.0 concept
lockscreen. The original HTC Legend was very loved by the public and it
had sort of a follow-up through the HTC One V if I’m not mistaking.
Now it’s time for a real worthy successor to the throne, one that adopts an elongated design, capacitive buttons and HTC Sense 5.0, that’s shown in the video below. HTC Legend 5 is a 5 inch Full HD smartphone with a S LCD 3 display and an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor at 1.9 GHz. There’s also a 4000 mAh battery on board and the device supports Beats Audio Streaming, HTC Messenger, HTC Quick Actions (you can add pictures, the music you’re listening to and places in your notes).
This HTC concept runs Android 4.2.1 with HTC Sense 5.0, that involves a very interactive lockscreen, filled with widgets and such elements. At the back there’s a 13 megapixel camera, while upfront we’ve got a 2.9 megapixel sensor with Full HD capture. The lockscreen concept is neat and clean, just like HTC Sense 5.0 is rumored to be. What do you think of this design?

Samsung N4 Concept is A Nexus Phone… Almost
Victor Monteiro recently submitted to us a new Samsung concept phone
called the Samsung N4. The idea is that this model is “half of a Nexus
phone”, according to the designer, thus explaining the “N” in its name.
The device features a quad core 1.9 GHz processor, a 48 core GPU and
promises “groundbreaking performance”.
Samsung N4 packs a 1080p display, with Gorilla Glass 3 technology and it also has top notch cameras, especially the front one. The cam at the back is a 13 megapixel shooter with a new sensor produced by Sony and dual LED flash, while the front camera is a 5 megapixel one capable of 1080p video recording. Other specs include a 3,320 mAh battery and up to 64 GB of internal storage, expandable to 128 GB. 2 GB of RAM are available for multitasking and there’s also an “almost stock” version of Jelly Bean included, installed out of the box.
Almost stock means it comes with Samsung improvements, like Smart Stay, Pop Up Play and Multi Window. The body of this Samsung Nexus concept combines polycarbonate and brushed aluminum. Victor Monteiro claims that if you like the render, he’ll do more of this device. So, do you? The form factor is original, I have to say.

Nokia Lumia X, a Quad Core 5 Inch Phablet with Wacom Stylus, Windows Phone 9
Straight from designer Gpat comes the Nokia Lumia X concept, a 5 inch
phablet that has been rumored recently, under the name
Juggernaut/Semaphore. This device looks pretty hot and it’s rare that we
get to see a device with very slim upper and lower bezel.
Nokia Lumia X features a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.6 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM and at the back it keeps the classic Lumia design, but it hosts a 12 megapixel Pureview camera this time. Upfront it has a 2 megapixel front camera and also at the front there’s a 5 inch 1080p AMOLED Full RGB ClearBlack screen. The screen has a bezel-free frame and this device is capable of 4G LTE connectivity and it packs a 3000 mAh battery with wireless recharging supported.
Nokia Lumia X interacts with a Wacom digitizer stylus and is supposed to run Windows Phone 9. This makes this the first Windows Phone 9 concept we’ve seen ever and I can’t find much differences from WP8. There’s even a price listed here and frankly $299 is unrealistic for a contract free Nokia phablet, but one can dream, right?

Nokia Lumia 999 is Pretty in Black and White
Nokia Lumia 999 is the latest creation of a young designer that we
really like, Jonas Daehnert. As you can see the handset adopts a black
and white theme, with the design involving what looks like glossy black
glass and gun metal grey. Overall this is the same premium feeling that
you get from the black/white interface-based LG Prada 3.0 handset.
The phone’s lower area speakers are very discrete and round shaped. Inside the device they may be incorporated as some short of “pillars”, going through the entire side of the handset, with a longer, better and harder bass speaker system. One of my obsessions with Nokia concept phones is the buttons, that usually suck, even on the best looking devices. Now I’m surprised here by how nice the volume buttons, camera button and On/OFF button look.
The façade of the phone is slightly curved and the 4.5 inch (I speculate here) display slips straight into the rest of the case, without a clear bezel. The glass just fades away into the rest of the chassis, which is simply beautiful. I like how the Lumia series keeps changing while keeping the core design the same. Pretty nice, right?

Phone 6 Runs iOSX, Fusion Between iOS and OS X (Video)
Federico Ciccarese is famous for his Apple concepts
and now he graces us with a brand new iPhone 6 render,
shown below. This is a remake from a “test prototype description”,
according to the designer, so he actually know something about a future
iPhone. The next iPhone is shown here with a clear iPod Nano shape.
The device runs iOSX, a combo between iOS and OS X, which you can see in the video below. You will find the design of the phone a bit similar to the one of a Lumia device, but many people have said that the latest iPod Nano actually copies the Lumia, so who started? This iPhone 6 looks a bit more playful and oriented towards a landscape use, which is good, considering people have been asking for a while to be able to use the homescreen on the iPhone in landscape as well.
Just like on the iPhone 5, this model has a Lightning port and those tiny little speaker holes, now more discrete than ever. The edges of the phone seem all metal and there’s a general aspect of having a playful device on your hands. Also, where’s the Home button!? I supposed that gestures will replace it… This looks more like an iPhone Mini than an iPhone 6, to be honest.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Through the Eyes of Designer Rahul Sharma
Rahul Sharma already designed a Samsung Galaxy S4 handset, but now
he’s back with a new vision of the same device. He decided to redesign
the smartphone because he received some advice regarding the first
design, so he removed the physical button at the bottom. This reborn
model doesn’t have any physical buttons, that are now replaced with a
single touch sensor below the display, that will light up for
notifications.
Samsung Galaxy S4 features in this case a 4.99 inch Super AMOLED display with 1920 x 1080 resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 2 protection with oleophobic coating. It runs Android 4.2.1 thanks to an Exynos 5450 quad core processor with a Mali-T658 GPU, plus it comes with 2 GB of LpDDR3 RAM and a 13 megapixel camera with image stabilization and integrated S Vision. The latter is some sort of augmented reality system. We also get a 3600 mAh Li-Ion battery here, plus wireless charging, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and a new range of “S” features.
There’s S Voice 2 with autonomous voice control, S Vision, mention before and S Play, a new gaming hub for Samsung, plus S Surround, for audio experience. The interesting bit here is that the camera sensor on this Galaxy S4 is a Sony Exmor R one, so Sony also contributes to this model. Rahul Sharma also seems convinced that the new smartphone will debut in April 2013 and not at CES 2013. I guess we’ll have to wait and see…

BlackBerry Z10 Gets Press Renders Ahead of Launch, Done by Martin Hajek
As you’ve probably heard, on January 30th 2013 RIM will unveil
BlackBerry 10 OS and at least two new handsets: BlackBerry Z10 and
BlackBerry X10. The first is a full touch smartphone, while the second
is a QWERTY + touch phone. We’re more interesting in the Z10, since it
was recently rendered by Martin Hajek, a designer who imagined the look of
the upcoming phone.
I should probably mention that the BlackBerry Z10 has leaked a bunch of times, so everyone knows what it looks like. However, we’re still lacking a press release and a press image, so we have to do with these renders, that are actually pretty well done. From what we’ve heard so far, the Z10 will be a handset without front side buttons, either capacitive or physical. It will rely on gesture control, a major part of BlackBerry 10 OS. The Z10 is rumored to feature a TI OMAP 4470 1.5 GHz dual core CPU or a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor for USA and Canada.
Other specs include a 4.2 inch display with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, quad band LTE connectivity, 2 GB of RAM, 16/32 GB of storage and an 8 megapixel camera at the rear with LED flash. There’s also a microSD card slot, a 1800 mAh battery, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and a micro HDMI out port. So, fancy a BlackBerry Z10 based on these renders?

Nokia Lumia Pad Tablet is Colourful, Feels Like It Has Potential
Designer Jupeng Zhai proposes us a theme that we’ve seen before: a Nokia
Lumia Pad tablet designed just like the Lumia handsets. It
even adopts the vivid colors of the Nokia Lumia 920, especially the
yellow. Rumors say that Nokia will unveil a tablet, maybe at CES 2013 or
maybe at MWC 2013, both taking place in the next weeks.
If you ask me, there are only two choices of CPU here for the Finnish company: Intel or Qualcomm. The latter would be a Snapdragon quad core unit, while the former is probably an Intel Atom new generation, or maybe something stronger. As far as memory goes, 2 GB of RAM would be enough, plus 32/64 GB of storage, an SD card slot AND microSD card slot, plus microHDMI and we’re all set.
The back camera could be a PureView, an unique feature for a tablet, even nowadays. The device would also have to include some special software, filters and lenses to use with the camera. Also, maybe Nokia will solve the problem of holding a huge 10.1 inch device in your hands while taking a pic. A brilliant idea would be detaching the camera sensor, sort of like a beefy stylus, maybe? What do you think?
