We’ve passed the euphoria of entering a new era of BlackBerry devices with the Z10 and Q10 models and now we get ready for the S10, that’s supposedly shown below. This is a BlackBerry 10 OS phone with a 3.6 inch Super AMOLED display and a 720p resolution.
It’s designed by Deepak Ahuja and it incorporates a 1.2 GHz quad core processor (Cortex A9), an 8.1 megapixel main camera with LED flash and a 1.9 megapixel camera upfront. There’s 16/32 GB of internal storage and a 2400 mAh battery also included. We also get a comparison shot with the Samsung Galaxy S3 in terms of size.
I like the fact that the phone combines what’s best about the Z10, its form factor with what’s best about the Q10, its keyboard and how compact it is. There’s that cool QWERTY keyboard with special lines between the rows and all the goodies of the BB 10 OS are available. Fancy this unit?

The folks of Mobileaks.nl have published a supposedly official render of the Nexus 5, once again rumored to be made by LG, although odds are very small of that happening. I must say I’m not a huge fan of this design, that I consider bulky, not modern and its upper and lower side don’t seem inspired at all.
They’re too sharp and rounded at the same time, if you know what I mean. Also, the placement of the back speaker is kind of odd and the camera area looks… old. I can’t seem to find the earpiece at the front of the device and the volume buttons are totally unrealistic. The only appealing thing about this model, aside from the strange inclusion of the Walkman app are its high end specs.
Those include a 5.2 inch OLED display with a Full HD resolution, 3 GB of RAM, a 16 megapixel camera with OmniVision sensor and a 2.1 megapixel front camera. There’s also a 3300 mAh battery inside and a Snapdragon 800 quad core CPU at 2.3 GHz as the ticker. I’m 99.99% sure that this is just a fake render… how about you?

Meizu has a bunch of very cute phones and now they’re preparing for a new device release, the Meizu MX3, that’s expected at some point in 2014. Of course, concepts of the device have appeared and they’re shown below. Meizu has the habit of updating handsets at the end of the year, so that’s when we’ll find out how realistic the concepts are. Rumors say that Meizu plans to introduce a larger phone with a very narrow bezel, edge to edge display and it could even feature a Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 8 core processor. A 5.1 inch Full HD screen should also be present, according to rumors, plus a 13 megapixel camera obviously, since that’s a modern hardware feature nowadays. The home button is quite similar to the one of the MX2 and the Meizu smart bar on screen navigation will also be present.
Meizu MX3 does look kind of bulky and I’m sure that its maker wants to make a very thin smartphone, since it’s famous for that. The front side reminds me of a Huawei tablet for some reason, while the plastic back makes me think of the new wave of TCL Alcatel phones.

After the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Nexus 5 is the most rendered phone in 2013, I’ll give you that much. Each and every designer is having a go, putting brands like LG, HTC, Sony, Samsung or others attached to the Nexus 5 project. Today Suman Chatterjee gives this idea a spin and created the new Nexus by HTC. The result is a 4.9 inch Full HD smartphone with a Snapdragon 800 quad core 2.3 GHz processor and Android Key Lime Pie as the OS. Nexus 5 has 3 GB of RAM, 32/64 GB of storage, a 16 megapixel camera with autofocus and a 3 megapixel front camera. We’ve also got a Li-Polymer battery, that’s removable and offers a 2800 mAh capacity.
The design seems greatly inspired by the HTC, although the two capacity buttons are replaced by 2 virtual ones and there’s an interesting app selection in the middle of the screen. The display also seems to have even smaller bezels than on the HTC One…

Deepak Ahuja is certainly one of the most prolific concept phone designers lately and now he sent us a new mockup, the one of the Apple iPhone 5S. The handset runs iOS 7.0 and it’s rather slim and has an impressively small width. It packs a 4.3 inch LED backlit IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1280 pixels. There’s also a 12 megapixel camera on board, placed at the back and also offering a LED flash. We’ve also got a 2.1 megapixel front camera with 720p 30 FPS video capture. There’s a quad core 1.2 GHz CPU inside and a PowerVR SGX543 MP3 GPU to take care of the gaming.
The chipset type is Apple A6 and the storage versions are 16/32/64 GB, accompanied by 2 GB of RAM. The iPhone 5S measures 7.3 mm in thickness, weighs 111 grams and supports 4G LTE on a nano SIM. There’s a Li-Ion 2800 mAh battery powering up the machine and the iPhone 5S is available in black and white. Will this be real? We’ll see…
