Designer Imagines a Sexier Microsoft All in One Desktop
Microsoft successfully entered the notebook business last year, debuting the hot Surface Book, with an excellent design and performance to put a MacBook to shame. Now I wouldn’t be surprised if they made their own PC. Till that happens we have a concept of such a device.

The creation of Aziz BelKharmoudi, this device is very stylish and aims at being more impressive visually than a Mac. It’s rendered with Windows 10 in mind, a very flat keyboard and mouse, plus an ultra small dock-looking area, that has the display attached to it. The screen is obviously very slim and hidden behind the panel is a series of ports, including a few USBs, audio jacks, Ethernet port and more.
I have to say I’m more impressed with the keyboard and Surface “touchpad” than the actual PC, because the angular design may turn off some of the buyers. One of the best aspects about this all in one PC is the huge speaker upfront with Dolby tech and very small speaker holes.

4 inch iPhone 2016 Model Leaks Out in Hands on Video; Could This be the iPhone 6c? (Video)
We don’t only deal with concepts or prototypes here, but also with leaks, such as the one below, one of the biggest we’ve seen in recent history. It has to do with a 2016 generation of 4 inch iPhone, that may well be the iPhone 6c or iPhone 7c.

The handset was somehow caught on camera straight out of a Foxconn plant and published on the interwebs by Micgadget, which is a reliable source. What we’re dealing with here is basically a 4 inch iPhone 6 version, that keeps its design format, metal chassis and even some specs. This model is said to have 1.2 GB of RAM, an Apple A8 CPU and a 1624 mAh battery.
8 GB of storage are included and possibly an 8 megapixel camera. This is not your average cardboard or plastic mockup, but rather a real phone, made of metal and glass, so it’s the real deal! You can see the metal texture of the back and the glass screen with smudges on it. I’m very surprised that Apple hasn’t reacted yet, since it’s been 12 hours since the leak happened. What do you think of the potential iPhone 6c?

HTC One M10 Receives New Design Approach from Vuk Nemanja Zoraja (Video)
The clock is ticking before the HTC One M10 launches and apparently that won’t go down at MWC 2016 next month. Instead we’re supposed to expect it in March, but before that a good old concept is here, created by Vuk Nemanja Zoraja. There’s also a video below, showcasing the same render in 3D, courtesy of Mesut G designs.

The designer relied on Keyshot, AutoCAD 2012 and some leaks to create this model. It has a 2.5D glass front, with rounded edges, a prominent top and bottom, a bit too shiny for my taste and quite big volume and power buttons. The dual front speakers are still present, complete with BoomSound and Dolby tech and this model seems to have a bit of a leather texture going on at the lower front side, unless my eyes have gone bad.
The back is matte and gray and the texture of that area doesn’t quite feel like metal, which would be odd for a HTC flagship. However, if a plastic material is used, this lets us remove the battery. Anyway, I’m sure that 2 or 3 things will be kept on the real HTC One M10, like the metal frame and rounded front side edges, plus speakers.

Nokia C9 Rendered by Jermaine Smit, With Various Back Textures (Video)
The rebirth of Nokia is imminent, as shown by the trio of phones leaked here, but still there are quite a few months left till their handsets come. Till that happens we’ve got the fresh Nokia C9 render from Jermaine Smit, shown below.

The Nokia C9 concept comes with a rear side with a leather/rubber-like texture, while the frame and sides are all metal. The middle of the back can either be dotted or a normal one. There’s a slight Lumia vibe here, but not in a huge way. The texturing reminds me of the latest ZTE phones and the format of the back somehow brings me to the Meizu handsets.
Color choices are well thought out, although a bit on the dark side. I seem to have spotted a switch at the lower back, possibly used to remove the back shell and access the battery. The format is quite slim and narrow compared to other modern phones. The LG Nexus 5X also comes to mind a bit. Specs? Well, a kickass camera would have to be included, plus a big battery, typical for a Nokia.

LG G5 Gets Rendered by DBS Design, Inspired by LG G Edge (Video)
The latest rumors have the LG G5 launching a month from now, most likely at MWC 2015, which is way early than the previous flagships. That means it’s also time for even more concepts and renders of the device, such as the ones below.

Created by DBS Design, these ones show us a smartphone inspired by the LG G Edge handset created by the same designers last fall. The newcomer brings a 5.5 inch IPS Quantum 4K display, runs Android 6.1 and relies on an USB Type C port for connectivity. There’s a fingerprint scanner in the mix, most likely integrated within the back Power button, as rumored.
It also appears that this LG G5 render keeps its back volume buttons, in spite of the rumors saying they’re going to go to the side. A future Snapdragon 830 CPU is on board, plus 5 GB of RAM and a dual infrared port. The main camera is a 24 megapixel one, while the front camera steps it all the way up to 16 megapixels.
A 5000 mAh removable battery powerups up this product. A bit overkill with the specs right? The design isn’t bad, particularly the rounded edges of the back, feeling like the Note 5 a bit.
