Finally a Rival for the Lumia: Sony Windows Phone Cybershot Handset
The Nokia Lumia Pureview handset is seen by many as the ideal cameraphone and its rivals usually come from the Android ecosystem. Meanwhile, the older Windows Phone partners are sitting idle. Now what we get here is a Sony Windows Phone device, made by David Quijada, the sort of wet dream we’ve seen from the early days of Windows Phone.
The handset seems to adopt the famous Lumia yellow and it has an elongated body with a Cybershot camera with a metallic cover in the lens area. For some reason we get a very big camera button, unless it’s a zoom button of sorts and the handset seems to be made of glossy polycarbonate. The name of the Windows Phone concept is Sony Xperia Pix and this may make sense since the first Xperias were Windows Mobile devices actually.
I’d see this long phone with a 6 inch Full HD screen, a 20 megapixel Lens G camera, Snapdragon 800 CPU and 32 GB of storage. Windows Phone 8.1 should be included here, as well as a slew of camera apps NOT made by Nokia, if possible. Can Sony deliver that cameraphone?

Samsung Galaxy J Teaser Trailer Sparks Debate About Galaxy S5 Launch Tomorrow (Video)
Leave it to Samsung to know how to create controversy… They posted a teaser video on their YouTube account in Taiwan, that people have quickly speculated it’s in fact an announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S5. The new handset is expected to debut tomorrow and it’s in fact the Galaxy J.
This model was previously unveiled a few weeks ago and now it could be launched tomorrow in Taiwan. There’s a still a very, very small possibility we may see a metallic Galaxy S5, but odds are that the Galaxy J will be the big deal here. This would mark Samsung’s foray into metallic handsets, something they haven’t tackled before.
This smartphone will adopt a metallic case, a 5 inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution and Android 4.2 as the OS. It also has 32 GB of storage, a microSD card slot, a 13.2 megapixel rear camera with OIS and a front 2 megapixel shooter. There’s also a 2600 mAh battery inside and I’m pretty sure there’s also LTE-A in there somewhere.

Primus is an Ubuntu Touch Smartphone render With Lots of Gloss
Created by Naveen Kumarasinghe early this month, the Ubuntu Touch concept phone shown below is named Primus and it represents an interesting piece of gear. First of all, we seem to be dealing with a combo between metal and glass, perhaps even a transparent phone.
The designer of the device didn’t share any details, so we’ve got to speculate here. I’m pretty sure that the upper side of this Ubuntu Touch phone is made of metal and the lower side is transparent glass. The Primus also seems to be an edge to edge display device, which keeps up with the modern trends suggested by the LG G2 and the likes.
This handset feels rather short and “fat”, perhaps with a diagonal closer to 4.3 inches rather than 5. It’s also a bit more squared than your average smartphone and closer to a Lumia format, if you want. From what I can see, the Ubuntu Touch Primus unit is very slim and has an intuitive way of accessing the main apps from a list on the left of the screen.
From what I know this left edge allows you to access apps pinned to the launcher and if you swipe all the way across you can reveal the Home area, with apps, files and contacts. Multitasking is done by swiping the finger from the right edge to the left, switching to a previous app.

Windows Phone 9 Concept Finally Brings a Decent Shortcut Area
Ghani Pradita from Indonesia shows us his concept for Windows Phone 9, an OS that has been rumored to unify Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 under one common roof. The designer of this UX/UI focuses more on useful stuff like notifications and accessibility.
For one thing, the “widgets”, as he calls them will be scrollable horizontally, like on Windows 8. I guess he’s talking about an evolved version of the dynamic tiles, that will now be moved on the screen, pretty much like we do in Xbox Music. Then there’s the aspect I like the most about Windows Phone 9: you can swipe down to open a panel of shortcuts, just like on Android.
The design here fits perfectly with the simplicity of Windows Phone and all the shortcuts are vital ones. Just have a look at the LG G2 notification area and you’ll think one thing: clutter. Finally, we also get a lockscreen concept, that allows us to have a small peek at the tiles behind it. Pretty cool right?

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.
