While 5 inch seems to be the max diagonal a supposed 2012 Nexus phone could have, Killu Chan goes past that with a new Sony Xperia concept. I’m talking about the Sony Xperia Nexus, pictured below in a new mockup and packing some hardcore specs, that include 128 GB of storage and 4GB of RAM.
The device comes with a LED backlit LCD capacitive touchscreen with a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and 5.5 inch diagonal with 408 ppi density. The screen supports multitouch for up to 10 fingers, relies on Sony Mobile Bravia Engine technology and benefits from Gorilla Glass 2 protection. On the connectivity side we’ve got LTE, HSDPA at 42 Mbps, WiFi, DLNA, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0, microHDMI and probably NFC as well. At the back of the Xperia Nexus there’s an 18 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss Optics Vario Tessar, autofocus, Xenon flash and image stabilization.
Upfront we’ve got a 3.15MP camera and under the hood there’s a Li-Ion 3500 mAh battery. As far as software goes, we’ve got Android Key Lime Pie running the show, on top of an Nvidia Tegra 4 quad core 2.1 GHz processor. Wireless charging is supported on this revolutionary model, that also relies on a nano SIM card. This model greatly reminds me of a Cybershot camera of sorts and some older concepts from back in 2008 and 2009. This is probably the first phone with the battery, signal and hour moved to the bottom and the virtual buttons so small… Interesting idea!

Bob Freking is a regular on our website since no day passes without him emailing a concept to us or two… An example is his latest work, HTC Two X, the successor of the One X. The idea Bob had was to combine the kickass camera on the HTC Titan II with ImageSense technology, the screen of the HTC J Butterfly and a quad core processor. The result can be seen below and teased in the video at the end of the article.
So what we’re dealing with here is the HTC Two X concept, that packs a 16 megapixel ImageSense camera, a quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and a 1080p Super LCD 3 display. Inside is a huge 3000 mAh battery, that would make even the likes of Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX jealous. Also, this model runs “the latest version of Android”, that’s probably Android 4.2 or should be in the near future. The device also has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage and I wonder if this one gets a microSD slot or not.
What I remember about the HTC One X from this spring is that it had some screen problems, a bit of overheating, people complained about its lack of microSD card slot and its microSIM tray was hard to remove. The thing I liked most about it was the camera, that frankly speaking is superior to the one of the Samsung Galaxy S III and Sony Xperia S. Are you ready for the Two X?

Following the hoax over here, I’m afraid to say the image below shows a real phone, since I wouldn’t want to misinform anyone. All I can say is that this supposed Sony C650X Odin handset came to us from the very prolific Jsus, who has made us believe he created real phones before. So, let’s find out what the Odin is about. Leaked about two weeks ago in benchmarks, this is supposed to be a 2013 Sony flagship phone, one that packs a 5 inch display The handset runs Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean and has a 5 inch display with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, for a 441 ppi pixel density. We also get a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad core CPU inside, with Adreno 320 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. HTC recently announced a 1080p display phone, so nothing surprising here.
However, Sony has yet to make an official debut for a quad core phone, so we’re waiting on that. The really interesting thing about the image that Jsus sent us (and probably created) is that the facade of the phone is almost all glass, with that 5 inch display being very well integrated and covering the Xperia logo, hidden under glass. I imagine that the Android buttons are now virtual, like on the Galaxy Nexus. Also, It would be cool if the lower side would light up in some way… So, what’s the verdict? Fake or real?

Vilim Plužarić created a Nokia concept phone called FX800, that has become famous on a couple of blogs and sites over the past days. We’re dealing with an unique smartphone, that started from the idea of the Nokia 8910 Titanium from back in 2002, in a more evolved version. This is a 4.65 inch smartphone with a titanium unibody case and obviously Windows Phone 8 on board.
Nokia Lumia FX800 features a 4.65 inch ClearBlack AMOLED HD screen, a laser cut body and measures just 8 mm in thickness. It packs a 1.5 GHz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor and 1 GB of RAM, plus 16 GB of storage. These specs are very much like the ones of the Lumia 920 in real life, to which the designer added a 12 megapixel camera. The screen supports a 720p resolution and its design seems to be a combo between the Nokia 8910 Titanium, Nokia X7 and the N9 model from last year.
People have been criticizing a lot the user of plastic materials like polycarbonate for modern handsets. They want the styling of the iPhone 5 with glass and aluminum and I expect that future Windows Phone and Android devices will take that requirement into account. So, are you for titanium or plastic materials? Have your say in the comments below!

Recent leaks have shown that Google is preparing more than one Nexus phone for this autumn launch. They may include a LG Nexus 4 device, a HTC Nexus 5, as well as a Samsung Galaxy Nexus II. The latter gets a mockup from Bob Freking, inspired by Holo and Nexus Q and pictured below. The Galaxy Nexus 2 has the same screen as the Galaxy Note II, a HD AMOLED one, but no longer pentile. Inside there’s an Exynos quad core processor and other features include an 8 megapixel camera, plus there should also be 2 GB of RAM on board and at least 16 GB of storage. As you can see, the device has an elongated design and its back side reminds me of the first Galaxy Nexus.  I guess that the OS on board is Android 4.2 or something like it, according to leaks.
The diagonal size should be more or less the same 4.6 inch affair and when Bob said the screen is the same as the one of the Galaxy Note II, he probably referred to type, not diagonal. I wouldn’t mind seeing a 5 inch Galaxy Nexus II, if the display was integrated in a more compact way. So, what do you think of this concept? Also, on a side note: Google will unveil its Nexus Phones in October 29th, so be ready!
