Nokia Stealth and Nokia 82 Dragonfly concept phones
Here are two Nokia concept phones that are at least interesting: Nokia Stealth and Nokia 82 Dragonfly. The Nokia Stealth should be a mid-end phone. It has a design inspired by stealth aircraft and it reminds me a bit of the Vertu Boucheron 150 (that’s not a compliment). The designer of Nokia Stealth says the [...]
Interesting Apple iPhone 4G concept comes in multiple colors
Apple (which has recently sued HTC for alleged patent infringements) will launch a new iPhone this year, possibly in June or July. At the moment, no one knows exactly what the 4th generation iPhone looks like or what new features it will bring. Of course, we’ve seen some iPhone 4G concepts, and there are lots [...]
Nokia Ovi Orion gaming phone concept brings the iPhone and the PSP together
Back in 2008, Nokia had plans to launch a touchscreen version of its old and discontinued N-Gage gaming phone. But since the Finnish company recently announced that it would kill the N-Gage service, it looks like a touchscreen N-Gage phone will never se the light of day. However, even without N-Gage, Nokia can still launch [...]
New Apple iPhone 4G concept is fairly realistic
Whether it will be called iPhone 4G or not, a new Apple iPhone is almost certainly going to be released this year – most probably in June or July, although, who knows, maybe Apple will surprise everyone and unveil its new smartphone during the January 27 event in San Francisco. But before this to happen, [...]
Synaptics Fuse touchscreen phone concept unveiled
Synaptics has teamed up with a handful of companies (Texas Instruments, Immersion, TheAlloy and The Astonishing Tribe) to announce a new mobile phone concept called Fuse. The Synaptics Fuse is the first concept phone to integrate multiple interface technologies: haptic feedback, multi-touch, 3D graphics, as well as “force, grip, and proximity sensing.” The concept extends [...]
Window Phone concept mixes transparency with weather forecasting
Unhappy with the weather bureau in his town, designer Seunghan Song decided to make a phone concept that can provide users with “accurate” weather predictions on a daily basis. In real life, this would work if the phone – called the Window Phone – would have wireless access to the Web and gather information from [...]
New Intel-based MID concept with folding display
Here’s an interesting MID concept that looks to be what Sony Ericsson Idou, the iPhone or the BlackBerry Storm will probably never be. The MID was designed by Petr Kubik, and, according to its portfolio page, the concept is the “winner of Intel competition mobile internet device.” And while this doesn’t mean we’re going to see [...]
Pilotfish Ondo – a music editing phone concept
It hasn’t been long since we saw that Motorola KRE-8 music phone concept, and here we have another weird concept targeted at music enthusiasts. This time, the concept is called Ondo and it comes from Pilotfish, a renowned industrial design firm. The Ondo phone combines “form-sensitive flexible materials” with advanced music editing capabilities, allowing you [...]
Motorola KRE8 – the ultimate music phone concept?
Motorola KRE8 is a new phone concept that, if ever built, it would be among the weirdest handsets out there. Needless to say, it would also be quite distinct from the MOTOROKRs currently available on the market. At first sight, the device looks like a portable media player, but it’s actually a full-touchscreen phone that [...]
Mozilla phone concept – a BlackBerry with OLED keys
Ever wondered how would a Mozilla phone look like? If you have, a possible answer to this question can be seen below. The Mozilla phone that we see here is a concept designed by Billy May. It’s created by mixing the old BlackBerry 7130 with an Optimus keyboard, thus it’s not exactly the pretties handset [...]
Disposable wristwatch phone concept
The LG-GD910 is proof that even the mobile industry bigwigs keep track of “the future” of mobile phones. Publicly unveiled at CES 2009, it seems to be exactly what every wristwatch phone should be. Unfortunately, feature-rich though it may be, it still can’t outperform concepts. What we have here is a “Disposable Pre-paid mobile phone [...]
Lupa concept phone: iPod Classic meets Motorola Aura
If Apple will ever want to make a swivel phone based on the iPod Classic, it should take a good look at the Lupa concept right here. Designed by Mac Funamizu, who’s also behind that Nokia Aeon-like concept, Lupa is a phone that would surely attract everyone’s eye if ever built in reality. Its form factor [...]
Fan-made iPhone Pro mock-up looks like it was delivered straight from the future
The iPhone 3G has been a great improvement over the original that was first released by Apple exclusively for AT&T. But there’s still plenty of room for improvement. And if Apple won’t work on it, someone elese will. What we have here is a fan made mockup of what is supposedly called the iPhone Pro. [...]
So-called Natural Year phone breaks down, decays with each passing day
Phones these days are usually made out of plastic or thin strips of metal, and when it comes to the end of their life cycle, manufacturers often find it hard to have them disposed of and reused in one go. Well, here’s a design that might offer a solution. The Natural Year phone, pictured below, [...]
New TRRAM technology could bring transparent, flexible phones like Nokia Morph
When the Nokia Morph concept first appeared on the Web, almost everyone thought that it’s impossible for a manufacturer to create such a phone with today’s technology – obviously because said phone should be transparent and flexible. But what if it’s actually possible for such a device to be built and to function as a normal, [...]
Concept blends handheld iPhone charger and golf club in one
Fancy having a round of golf AND charging your iPhone at the same time? Look no further than the Handgrip iPhone charger. It’s obviously a concept, but one that boasts more functionality than most. What’s needed here is the Handgrip iPhone charger, an iPhone in need of charging, and a wide, open space. Basically, the [...]
Tactile iPhone case concept goes a long way to pleasing the visually impaired
Think you’ve got a cool iPhone case there, do you? Well, you probably haven’t seen the Silicon Touch iPhone case. A case that’s so cool, it deserves its own iPhone app. This interesting iPhone case is actually just a concept, made by designer Bruno Fosi, and the idea behind it is to help the blind [...]
Skinny phone concept could make for a nice T-Mobile G1 2.0
Don’t you just love the design of the T-Mobile G1? Don’t you? No? I didn’t think so. Let’s face it, the T-Mobile G1 might be a landmark device, considering it’s the very first Android-powered smartphone ever produced, but its design could use a little more sexing up. So while those handsome folks from HTC are [...]
Eclipse phone concept doesn’t involve sun, moon
You won’t get many chances to see a real eclipse in your life time, but you can take comfort in the new mobile phone concept that appears here. The mobile phone rendered here is supposed to be called the Eclipse phone, though I have to admit, I’m having a hard time seeing what it has [...]
New Nokia concept arguably looks like a Batmobile
Nokia concept phones come and go all the time. The latest one, created by the Finnish designer Heikki Juvonen, might be the weirdest of them all. The new phone doesn’t have a name yet, but it surely has a distinctive design. When you see it for the first time, the handset looks to be [...]
