Created by Sunkotora from Deviantart, this Nokia concept with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is the wet dream of all people who don’t like Nokia’s involvement with Microsoft. Symbian is dead, MeeGo too, Sailfish OS is a bit too green to be viable, so Android sounds mint for a high end Nokia… like the Nokia One Way render below.
We’re dealing with a beautiful phone with a tough back design, a glossy all glass facade with a rounded design and some very discretely integrated capacitive keys. This Nokia Android phone has a 4.5 inch PureMotion HD+ screen with 332 ppi pixel density, a Snapdragon S4 CPU, hopefully the quad core kind, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. There’s a 13 megapixel camera with Xenon flash at the back and maybe some PureView technology and Carl Zeiss in the mix.
The device runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the only thing I don’t like here is the top part of the device. It looks like a powerful and elegant machine, one that justifies a high cost… Are we ready for such things or will be left forever in a world where Nokia means… coloured tiles?!

Michaël Retovona is a designer you’ve seen on our website before and now he’s back with a trilogy of concepts called the Steaur. The Steaur 1, 2 and 3 are all Windows Phone 8 models, each with an unique design. We being with Steaur 1, pictured below and looking pretty hot.
This model somehow reminds me of the iPhone, but also a bit of the Nokia N9. I like its profile and edges of the screen, with a nice elegant touch to them, thanks to that special glossiness. The camera is integrated at the back in a very simplistic way. If I’m getting this right, the handset has a big speaker at the top and another big one at the bottom. Steaur 2 is inspired by the Zune HD and it’s my favourite of them all, I have to say.
This Windows Phone 8 model adopts the color lineup of the Nokia Lumias, but frankly it looks better than the models we’re seeing today. That white stripe is also a nice touch and the inclusion of a dual LED flash is welcome. The design is sporty and youthful and making the phone thin would make it kill the Lumias. Steaur 3 is the mature model, the finished one, the one that would make a kickass Surface Phone by Microsoft. It has a bit of visual identity from ASUS and HTC and it seems to incorporate Beats Audio tech, if I understood the symbol correctly. So, which of these models do you like the most?

Sent to us by Boiger Design, the following Samsung Galaxy S IV concept was made during lunch break, according to the designer. Thus, it’s not a very complex piece of work, rather fitting the “minimalistic” label. This device seems to have a soft touch back, a compact design and a pretty fancy allure.
For some reason, I find this Galaxy S IV concept rather small… or a bit too compact to actually feature the rumored 5 inch Full HD screen. From what I know, the future Galaxy S model will have 2 GB of RAM, a 13 megapixel camera, a dual core Cortex A15 Exynos CPU and I should probably mention that these are all speculations and rumors.
Samsung Galaxy S IV will be a big deal in 2013 and many expectations are linked to it. The Galaxy S III is already perceived as a better sold handset than iPhone 5 and the next model may be the one to totally beat the iPhone. So, do you think that the leaked specs match this design? I think it’s a bit too compact…

Ben Ling has shown us at least a dozen of Sony Xperia concepts and now he’s back with the Xperia Q, a phone that has a small display, by today’s standards, but also a pretty impressive camera sensor. We’re dealing with a handset that uses a 4 inch TFT HD display, that’s both shatter proof and scratch resistant.
At the back of the new Xperia we find a 13 megapixel camera with LED flash, Exmor RS sensor, 16x digital zoom and Full HD video recording. The front camera is a 1.3 megapixel one, also with 1080p capture. Under the hood we’ve got the already classic dual core 1.4 GHz Krait processor, the Qualcomm MSM8260A Snapdragon S4 Pro, with Adreno 320 GPU. Xperia Q measures 8.2 mm in thickness, has NFC, weighs 115 grams and features 1 GB of RAM and LTE.
It runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, offers 16 GB of internal storage and its display supports Sony Mobile Bravia Engine 3 technology. Among the technologies available here we find Floating Touch, White Magic and xLOUD, all from Sony. Finally, under the hood there’s a microSD card slot and a Li-Ion 1750 mAh battery. As far as design goes, we’re dealing with what looks like plastic material, maybe polycarbonate and a small chin at the bottom, plus a bit of a sloped edge at the top.
The phone looks pretty narrow and I like the way the Android keys are integrated. I can’t figure out if they’re capacitive or virtual, although I tend to believe it’s the former.

Jonas Daehnert is responsible for creating some beautiful Nokia concepts, both handsets and tablets and now he’s back with something futuristic: a Nexus TV and Nexus Glasses from Google. He imagined a series of Nexus devices, that includes a TV set, a pair of glasses and a controller for the TV. The glasses feature two prisms and two cameras for real 3D Full HD recording.
The glasses are controlled via cellphone, so you can save your recorded videos directly to your phone and use Bluetooth for that. Also included are shutter glasses for watching 3D videos. This Google Glasses render created by Jonas is inspired by the project that the search engine giant showcased a while ago. This concept uses prisms, cameras and a built in battery. The Nexus Glasses use 3D cameras for images and two prisms for augmented reality interface. Also shown by the designer is a full touch Nexus remote, that looks like a smartphone.
It’s optimized for TV interaction with menu control, web browsing and more. The remote is charged via induction, thanks to a special induction area located in the glass base of the TV. Finally, the Nexus TV is a 3D Full HD LED unit, that uses an aluminum housing and it features the normal specs of a modern TV. It also has two cameras, so 3D video chat is possible, also aided by the Nexus Glasses. The TV runs a custom version of Android, it has flash memory, multiple card slots, multiple HDMI connectors, cable ports, a VGA port, WiFi and a bunch more features. Would you buy this package?
