HTC One 3D Feels Like a Combo of HTC One and HTC First
Suman Chatterjee created a new an interesting HTC concept smartphone, one that combines a bit of HTC One and a bit of HTC First, or so it seems to me. As you can see, the back is pretty much similar to the HTC One, but this time we get a 3D dual camera.
This model comes with Beats Audio and probably has some cool special apps for 3D capture, photo and video editing in 3D. Since the handset handles 3D content, it may require a more potent CPU, maybe something like the Snapdragon 800 or even a superior generation. The last HTC 3D phone and the last LG 3D phone were not big hits and the whole tridimensional graphics trend was gone pretty fast.
2013 brought us zero 3D phones and tablets, at least big brand models and I guess that it will stay this way. I suppose people would rather have bigger batteries and higher resolutions than useless 3D graphics. How do you feel about the HTC One 3D?

Virtual Touch Concept Smartphone of the Future
Here’s a concept that doesn’t necessarily feature 1000 cores in its CPU, but rather relies on a new touch technology. The handset uses Virtual Touchscreen tech aka ViTo, a control system that allows you to replace the typical touch experience with a gesture based one. This design is created by Andrey Kamaev.
The handset you see here incorporates high resolution cameras withdynamic stabilization and infrared range detection. The display contains aside from lines of pixels some sensors with sensitivity to infrared radiation. Infrared pixels will receive light in a narrow spectral range. This smartphone of the future also comes with an unique interface and control via voice and gestures.
There will be two cameras on the edges of the phone, that will detect your eyes and detect the time needed to focus on a virtual keyboard. The phone concept “feels” your point of view and the desired key. The smartphone will support induction charging and it will be powered by photovoltaic cells, too, so sun charging is also here.

Sony XTRUD is the Way Phones Should Be in 2013
People, we’re in 2013! Designers, wake up and check out the calendar! Can you honestly say that you like ANY of the LG Optimus series devices?! Can you honestly say that the Galaxy S4 has a good design? Isn’t the Nokia Lumia already outdated? Aren’t all the Xperias 99% alike? Well, here’s finally some novelty: Sony XTRUD.
Sony XTRUD is to me what Apple could have come up if they kept their wild spirit of the early 2000s… Designer Rybarczyk Francois did a fantastic job with this smartphone and he deserves a standing ovation for it. The Sony XTRUD concept features a sustainable and economic vision of the modern world. The handset incorporates one part that includes all the components and a simple aluminum profile.
The idea is to easily replace all components via a modular concept. You can change the camera module with the newest Sony cam, but let’s be honest here: phone makers are afraid of such devices, because they wouldn’t sell their new models, that’s why we’ll never see such a phone. The Sony XTRUD feels a bit like a combo between a Nokia Lumia and an iPod, with a twist of the designer’s unique approach.
A nifty idea is the volume control by rotating the wheel at the lower area of the device. The result here is a beautiful and original Sony Android concept, that actually looks hot and will last for many years thanks to the modular approach.
