Sony Xperia Yuga has been imagined in a fresh concept by Sanjaya Kanishka. The designer envisions a smartphone with a 5 inch FHD IPS+ LED backlit TFT display, relying on Mobile Bravia Engine 2 technology and also White Magic tech, as well as floating touch tech. Xperia Yuga measures 9.4 mm in thickness and weighs 135 grams.
The 5 inch screen on board supports a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution and has Gorilla Glass 2 protection. Under the hood of this Sony Xperia render there’s a quad core Krait CPU, a 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro unit with Adreno 320 GPU. There’s also 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, a microSD card slot and at the back we’ve got a 13 megapixel camera with Exmor RS lens, 2160p capture at 30 fps and 1080p 60 fps HDR video recording, plus LED and Xenon flashes.
Sanjaya Kanishka also added a 2 megapixel front camera with 720p video recording, as well as LTE, HSUPA, EDGE and WiFi. There’s also Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, HDMI and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as the OS. We’ve got a multi window option, just like on the Galaxy Note II, hopefully without a lawsuit. As far as battery goes, Yuga offers a 3200 mAh Li-Ion user removable battery. There’s even a price imagined for this model: $560, that’s actually pretty reasonable. Once again, this is only a concept, not a real device. It resembles the Xperia T a bit if you ask me…

We’ve seen many Samsung Galaxy S4 concepts on this site, but the idea of an S4 Mini is fresh and new. Ben Ling imagined both, with the result being the image below. We’re dealing with a 5 inch S4, nothing unpredictable, a model with a Full HD Super AMOLED Plus TFT display, with Gorilla Glass 2 protection.
The Galaxy S4 Mini is a 4.55 inch smartphone, also with a Super AMOLED TFT screen, but a HD one. TouchWiz UI is present on both and both support multitouch with up to 10 fingers. The bigger S4 uses a quad core 1.9 GHz CPU, while the smaller one goes down to 1.5 GHz. At the back we have a 13 megapixel camera with LED flash and an 8 megapixel shooter respectively, both with 16x digital zoom and 1080p video recording. Other specs include Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 2 GB of RAM, NFC, 16/32/64 GB of storage.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 specs include a Li-Ion 2500 mAh battery, while the S4 Mini adopts a Li-Ion 2100 mAh one. Finally we get LTE and a waistline of 9.1 mm and 8.9 mm respectively. The device is a bit less rounded than the S3 and features totally capacitive buttons below the screen, so Samsung has supposedly given up the physical Home button. Doable or not?

This is not exactly the Nokia N10 that everyone is expecting, but it’s still something that may become real: a Nokia Jolla Sailfish OS handset, created by Sanjaya Kanishka. As you know already, Jolla is a Finnish startup made out of people who left Nokia and wanted a new direction. This direction involves Sailfish OS, a platform based on swiping that may remind you of MeeGo.
Back to the concept you see here, the Nokia Jolla phone features a 4.6 inch True HD IPS+ screen, with a 768 x 1280 pixel resolution and 332 ppi pixel density. The same screen uses PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack technology and Corning Gorilla Glass 2. Other specs include a dual core Cortex A15 processor, a TI OMAP 5432 chipset with a PowerVR SGX544MP2 GPU. The device also features a 4 row sliding physical QWERTY keyboard, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage and a microSD card slot.
At the back we’re got an 8 megapixel camera with both Carl Zeiss technology and PureView technology, as well as Xenon flash. The cam offers 1080p 60 fps video capture and optical image stabilization. Other technologies on board of the Jolla Sailfish OS phone include LTE, HSUPA+, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and Dolby technology. Finally, powering up the gizmo is 2700 mAh Li-Ion battery. The facade of the smartphone looks really appealing, while the keyboard seems comfy.
Is it just me or does Sailfish OS look a bit like MeeGo and BlackBerry 10 OS?

Shahin Jazirian has sent us a new Samsung Galaxy concept called Samsung Galaxy King, that’s pictured below. It has a pretty unusual shape, that reminds me of some cool rock guitars, with those sharp corners. The device is shown to us in black and white and it’s got a sloped upper and lower side, with a sharp corner on each diagonal.
I’m not sure how comfortable such a smartphone would be to hold, but what’s sure is that the specs are pretty nice. Samsung Galaxy King comes with a 5 inch 1080p display, a Super AMOLED one, 64 GB of storage, 2 GB of RAM and an Exynos 5450 quad core Cortex A15 processor and a 13 megapixel camera. There’s also the S Voice system available on board, plus active noise cancellation with dedicated microphone. We get TV out via MHL as usual, plus Swype input and Android 5.0, that in this case gets codenamed Double Burger for some reason.
Touchwiz applied to the OS is still here and if you ask me, I’d prefer the Android keys at the bottom to be virtual, rather than capacitive ones. The black version of the handset makes me think of carbon fiber for some reason, so maybe it uses such a material, or maybe not… who knows, actually? What do you think of this concept phone?

You probably know that every once in a while we like to cover the occasional PSP 2 concept or PlayStation Phone, but it’s been a while since the last concept like this was published here. Luckily we came across Jung Ou Yang’s work and he created a brilliant Sony PSP 2 render, that you can see below, in full detail. Stunning, simply stunning!
I’ve seen this idea before and loved it every time: two solid parts and a small and thin display between then, perhaps even a flexible display, although I can’t guarantee that. The Sony PSP 2 features Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G, a front and rear camera, plus a transparent OLED screen that’s probably 5 inches in diagonal. The device is very easy to hold with two hands and very easy to handle. It feels more like a bigger joystick, than a full fledged console, which is cool.
I should also mention that the concept dates from back in 2009, according to the designer, making it even more interesting. The general layout of the D pad, analog sticks and action buttons is pretty much the same as the one we already know, but everything is just… more futuristic and minimalistic. I like how the designer included the charging port on the right inner side and the audio jack and mini USB port on the left inner side. This is certainly a console I’d buy and the shoulder buttons look classier than ever. Simply great!
