Samsung Galaxy S5 Concept is a Folding Device; 3D Detailed Render Here!
The folks of mobileaks.nl have published a fresh render of the Samsung
Galaxy S5, the 2014 flagship from the South Korean company.
With the Galaxy S4 already launched on major markets and the Galaxy Note
3 being part of the rumors already, we can start dreaming about the
Galaxy S5, I guess.
The source claims that Samsung has been exploring various innovative technologies, like flexible and bendable AMOLED screens. Those are expected to go into production close to the year end, so expect foldable smartphones to come soon enough. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is one of them, with a screen that can be folded in and out, without requiring a hinge or a cut through the middle.
The render here involves a 7.5 mm thick handset, that once folded around amount to double that thickness, but also half the length. The Galaxy S5 abandons the curves of the past two generations and goes back to the Galaxy S II styling, something that many people have been asking for. Are we truly ready for a phone we can bend in two?

Nokia Mirror is Shiny, Splendid and Powerful
Edgar Mkrtchyan sent us a brand new Nokia concept called Nokia
Mirror, a splendid piece of machinery. It’s glossy, but in an elegant
and good way and it also has innovative features, that are listed below.
The handset is slightly curved and it has a glossy area on the side,
like a mirror.
The back is also mirror-like, but the gloss is metallic, not glassy/plasticky like Nexus 4 or Xperia Z. Nokia Mirror can connect to a printer, TV, computer, projector, stereo station and external hard drive via a special USB key with NFC technology and Bluetooth. The same key has 16 GB of storage. The specs of the new Nokia handset are very good and include the Windows Phone 8+ OS and a dual core setup (1+1) 1.2 – 1.8 GHz.
Nokia Mirror features 2 GB of RAM, measures 10 mm in thickness and at the front there’s a 4.7 inch Full HD Puremotion HD+ screen with ClearBlack 2 technology and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. At the back there’s an 18 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, Pureview technology, Xenon and LED flash, as well as rich recording. The battery inside a 3200 mAh unit and we also get 32/64 GB of storage, plus NFC, Bluetooth a 3 MP front camera.
A superb design, truly!

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Leak Reveals Possible Design
After some concepts of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, we came across a
leaked picture of the device, that we should take with a grain of salt.
The image appeared on the web today and apparently pictures a model
called the i9500. Usually a Note device has an N in its name, so that’s
why we tend to believe it’s fake.
There’s also a bunch of specs included in the leak. Those include a 5.99 inch Full HD display, the Exynos 5410 Octa processor, an 8 core CPU with a A15 2 GHz quad core ticker and an A7 1.7 GHz ticker. The interesting bit is that we’re supposed to get 3 GB of RAM here, instead of the usual 2 GB of RAM from the last years.
Galaxy Note 3 runs Android 4.2.2 and I find it strange that its Home button is so tiny. I have to say that this product is expected to be unveiled at IFA 2013, sometime in August or September, if everything goes well. I expect Wacom to include an even more evolved stylus system, perhaps with new apps and a new way to multitask.

Google Smartwatch Render Looks Realistic, Minimalistic (Video)
Let’s take a break from high end concept
phones and check out a Google Nexus Smartwatch, a device that’s
supposedly in the making right now. Every big company out there is
supposed to be making a watch, from Apple’s iWatch to similar products
made by LG, Samsung and even Microsoft.
The folks of T3 published this render of a
Nexus smartwatch from Google, one that has a minimalistic look and a
square screen. It has Google Sync, allowing you to get contacts,
messaging and alerts on your small screen. There’s also the typical 3
buttons (Back, Home, Multitasking), but they’re not displayed all the
time.
The Google Smartwatch has Google Now
integrated and probably a lot of voice commands. It also comes with a
comfy belt, multiple color versions, probably a front camera and the
ability to place calls from it. Pair this up with the Google Glass and
you have a winner!

Nokia Lumia 750 Has Pureview Technology, Lumia 720 Design Inspiration
Deviantart member DutaAV created a new Nokia concept, the Lumia 750,
that’s inspired by the design of the Lumia 720. As you probably know,
the Nokia Lumia 720 is some sort of a cheaper version of Lumia 920, that
keeps some of its goodies.
Back to the Lumia 750, the device adopts a squared look and it comes with a camera centered at the back, a Pureview camera actually. The device is much less wider than the Lumias we’re used to. If you allow me to speculate and include some specs, I’d say that this smartphone comes with an IPS LCD display with a 4.3 inch diagonal and HD resolution, plus a dual core Snapdragon CPU, a slightly superior version to the one of the Lumia 720.
There’s also 8 GB of storage, 512 MB of RAM and a microSD card slot, plus an 8 megapixel Pureview camera instead of the 6.1 MP cam of the Lumia 720. The OS of choice may even be Windows Phone 8.1 Blue, since it’s coming in about two months. What do you think of these slight enhancements? Doable?
