Nokia Windows 8 Tablet Design by Ashraf Amer Features a 12 Inch Screen (Video)
Recent speculations have insisted on a 12 inch iPad and a 12 or 13 inch Samsung tablet, so why not have Nokia make a slate with the same diagonal? Ashraf Amer imagined such a Nokia tablet, one that sports a 12.4 inch OLED flexible display.
The device has a super slim shell that measures just 0.3 cm in thickness and inside we find 6 GB of RAM, 500 GB of storage, while at the back things get really out of hand. This Nokia tablet concept has an 82 megapixel Pureview camera with dual LED flash and at the front there’s a 20 megapixel Pureview camera with mono LED flash.
The device also adopts NFC and comes in a variety of colors. The format is your typical rectangle and other than that I have no idea what hardware is inside. I’m guessing it’s either a future 8 core Bay Trail CPU or something like that or maybe some futuristic Snapdragon. For those wondering the device was created in 3D Max 2014 and rendered in Mental Ray, as he says himself in the video description below.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Renders Feature a Flex Version and a Normal One
The folks of simonlyradar.nl have created a brand new Samsung Galaxy S5 render, the one shown below, in two versions. One is the regular solid smartphone of 2014 and the other is a “flex” version of the flagship.
They have based their concepts on recent leaks that have trickled on the web regarding the Galaxy S5. Over the past days we’ve seen potential benchmarks of the phone showing a 2K screen and talks about a possible 5.2 inch diagonal. The creator of the render above claims that the Galaxy S4 successor will have a 5 inch Super AMOLED display in the regular version and a 5.2 incher in the flex one.
Inside the smartphone there will be a 2.7 GHz quad core processor, probably a Snapdragon 800 or Snapdragon 805. There will also be 3.5 GB of RAM, support for a 2K resolution and a 16 megapixel OIS camera at the back with 4K video recording. The handset can do Full HD slow motion recording at 160 FPS, by the way. This Samsung Galaxy S5 concept packs a 3500 mAh battery (3300 mAh in the flex model), USB 3.0 connectivity, a front 2.5 MP camera and it runs Android 4.4 KitKat with a brand new TouchWiz.
The big innovation here is the slim aluminum body of the phone and the totally edge free screen.

Sony Xperia Z1 Mini Gets Rendered by Ben Ling
Everyone is talking about the Sony Xperia Z1s aka Xperia Z1 Mini aka Z1 f, but up until now we haven’t seen any trace of a real announcement coming soon. This device gets rendered today courtesy of Ben Ling.
As you can see, this model adopts the Sony Xperia Z1 design, with big edges, metallic Power button, corner placed camera and camera physical button. This model is supposed to have a 2300 mAh battery, a 4.3 inch display with 720p resolution and an impressive Snapdragon 800 CPU, which is a bit overkill for such a small handset.
There’s 2 GB of RAM inside, 16 GB of storage, a microSD card slot, plus a 20.7 megapixel camera at the back and a front 2.2 MP shooter. We’ve got Android 4.2 as the OS, NFC and probably LTE, although I wouldn’t bet on that. Seeing those specs, I would say that this Mini is stronger than any other Mini model out there, much stronger

Nokia Lumia 101 Smartwatch is a Nice Little, Elegant Bracelet
Designed by David Quijada, the Nokia Lumia smartwatch feels like a bracelet of sorts, a very comfy and elegant accessory. This model is much thinner and lighter than other high end watch concepts I’ve seen.
It’s got an OLED 1080 x 110 pixel touch and flex screen, solar charging and Gorilla Glass 2 protection. There’s also Bluetooth 4.0 on board, LTE and the watch is water resistant, as well as dirt and shock resistant. We’ve got ID calling abilities here, player control, handsfree call answer features and email reading abilities.
Nokia Lumia 101 is shown in a variety of colors, like blue, yellow and red and its display is so subtle, you may not even notice it. It’s also flexible , so there’s no danger of damaging it easily. It’s also a fashionable bracelet to be wearing around, especially if it lights up at concerts.

HTC Dream 8 inch Tablet May Push HTC Into the Future
HTC’s future is not looking very good right now, since they can’t only rely on the HTC One for sales and maybe its successor. They need to get into the tablet game, like LG did with the great LG G Pad 8.3. One such device to push them into the future is the HTC Dream, a concept tablet created by Giorgi Tedoradze.
This is a simple, elegant, compact and ergonomic HTC tablet, made of aluminum and measuring 8 mm in thickness. It integrates an 8 inch IPS screen with Full HD resolution and inside it has a dual core 1.6 GHz processor, 2 GB of RAM and 16/32/64/128 GB of storage, as well as microSD. The battery of the HTC 8 inch tablet is a Li-Ion 6500 mAh power source.
There’s a 6 megapixel UltraPixel camera at the back, with optical image stabilization, 1080p video recording and a front camera with a 2.1 MP resolution. On the OS side of things, there’s a special blend of Android and HTC Sense, specifically created for this tablet. We also get accessories rendered, like a special stylus or case for the device, plus something that looks like a new drawing and sketching software.
Will this HTC tablet make it big in 2014?
