Sony Xperia ZX is a 6 Inch Triluminous Smartphone
Since Sony may have taken things too far with the Xperia Z Ultra, with its huge 6.44 inch display. Is this a phone? Is this a tablet? It’s not even a phablet! Well, we have a Z Ultra Mini, if I can call it that way, the Sony Xperia ZX, a concept sent to us by uva7 dance.
We’re dealing here with a 6 inch smartphone with a Full HD resolution and TFT IPS Triluminous panel. Inside the device we find a Snapdragon 800 2.5 GHz processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of internal storage. There’s also the option of adding an extra 128 GB via microSD and at the back we find a 2 x 20 megapixel camera with 2160p video and 30 fps, plus optical stabilization.
There’s stereo sound, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie as the OS and a fingerprint scanner in the mix. Powering up this giant is a 4000 mAh battery and we’ve even got a stylus covered. The thickness is 6 mm for this model. Fancy such a huge Xperia concept?

Xenon Ubuntu Phone Features 3D 16 Megapixel Camera and 3D Display
The teaser you saw here is finally cleared and turns into the following concept Ubuntu phone created by Liam Quinn. The handset is called Xenon and it comes with a 3D display, 3D cameras and obviously Ubuntu Touch as the operating system.
We get a model that adopts a design that involves a lot of straight angles, a dual camera at the back, a camera button and a sort of kickstand at the back. The Xenon has a wireless charging dock, that magnetically orients the phone. It adopts the same design language and can be swapped for a different color.Ubuntu mobile OS uses all four cores of the processor on board of the device and its UI has real 3D depth, thanks to special effects and transitions.
The Xenon concept phone has interchangeable back plates of various colors and if you want to talk specs, know that it features a 5.2 inch 3D display, dual 16 megapixel 3D cameras with Carl Zeiss optics and 3D capability. There’s also dual LED flood flash and inside we can find the Tegra 4 processor and 3 GB of RAM. This model also supports 4G LTE.

Nokia EOS to be Named Lumia 1020, 41 Megapixel Camera Confirmed
Everyone is excited about the next step in cameraphone evolution, that will be the Nokia EOS. Apparently, this model will be known commercially as the Nokia Lumia 1020, as the famous leakster @evleaks let slip today.
Meanwhile, Nokia sent out invites to its July 11th launch event, mentioning that there are 41 million reasons to tune in. This is a very clear hint regarding the 41 megapixel camera that will be incorporated into this Lumia unit. The handset is said to have phablet dimensions, use a metal case and it’s expected to be less than 10 mm in bulk.
Nobody is talking specs here, but the camera is a sure thing: 41 megapixel Pureview cam with Carl Zeiss optics, OIS and really cool low light performance. Not sure if the Nokia Lumia 1020 will see Windows Phone moving to quad core and to 2 GB of RAM, but it could be possible. What do you think this model misses, design-wise?
