We deal with mockups, renders and prototypes here at Concept Phones, not only designs, so after showing you the Galaxy Tab 11.6 idea from a couple of days ago, now we have a new mockup from the German site TabTech.de. They report that Samsung will introduce this 11.6 inch tablet at MWC 2012 and they give us this mockup for comparison sake, with the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 Mockup Comes From Germany
Rumors say we’re dealing with a dual core 2GHz Exynos 5250 tablet, with a 11.6 inch display that supports a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The S Pen stylus is also expected to be supported and bundled here and I’m guessing that we’re going to get a 5 or 8 megapixel camera, 16/32GB of internal memory, LTE, NFC, WiFi, GPS, DLNA and as few ports as possible, keeping with the Samsung tradition of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9.
What I’m worried about is how portable this device will be, considering its diagonal size. If it’s anywhere below 650 grams, it will be OK and it’s less than 9mm thick we’re saved… and I trust Samsung to deliver that. On the previous Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 concept I’ve shown you some comments said that they’d rather have a big, not so portable device, but all the performance they need. Do you agree?

Well, there’s one way to make a concept original and that is create a stunning hardware design and slap on it an antique OS. I’m talking about the Nokia 802 concept, a beautiful transparent phone, but one that runs Symbian Belle if I’m not mistaking. This is the creation of Thair Joudi. At least it could have had MeeGo…
Nokia 802 Concept is Transparent, Features... Symbian
Well, getting over this whining, some people actually love Symbian and consider it a viable OS. As far as the device goes, it’s a slab of transparent material that reminds me of the Nokia futuristic phone spotted in the movie Real Steel. There are tons of ways you can use a transparent display phone, one of them being a huge viewfinder for your camera, plus tons of augmented reality applications, interaction with NFC tags and live photo tagging/geotagging and identification of Facebook contacts.
If I were to phantasize I’d say that about 6 phones like this, united through a revolutionary technology could create a tablet or something close to it. Sadly there are bezels standing in the way of that project. Anyway, this render is great and I hope it gets a lot of appreciation.
Nokia 12 Inch Tablet Runs Windows 8, Uses AMOLED Display

Mohamed Magdy, the guy who created the Nokia Snow handset also created a tablet with a 12 inch display, that you can see below. We’re dealing with a Windows 8 device here, that uses a 12 inch 1920 x 1080 resolution and it’s based on AMOLED technology. There’s also an 8 megapixel front camera for HD video calls.

At the back there’s a 12 megapixel Carl Zeiss optics camera with autofocus and dual LED flash and you must know that this Nokia concept tablet comes with 4 surround sound speakers and a kickstand for better movie viewing on any surface. There’s also a HDMI port on board and an USB 3.0 port bundled here. The slate has rounded edges, a metallic area around the bezel, as shown in these images and might make a pretty good product some day. The thing is that Nokia will have to make this product light, or else it will become too bulky or heavy, especially with that 12 inch screen.
I expect to see a real Nokia Tablet sometime this summer, maybe during Nokia Connection 2012, who knows? The CPU is a mystery here, so it could be a Qualcomm one or maybe an Intel one… What do you think?

Mohamed Magdy is the same guy who designed the Nokia C8 handset that I’m sure you’ve seen. Today I’ve come across another design of his, the Nokia Snow, that’s detailed in the pictures and video below. This is a 4 inch smartphone with a 1000 x 600 pixel resolution and a beautiful glass body with chrome edges. You can find some other concepts made by Mohamed right here.
Nokia Snow 4 Inch Phone Features 14MP Camera, Windows Phone 7
The screen is a Super AMOLED Plus touchscreen and other specs of the Nokia Snow model include a front 2 MP camera, a 14.1 megapixel camera at the back, with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and LED flash. There’s also a SIM card slot on board, a microSD card slot, a microUSB 3.0 port, micro HDMI and a noise cancelation microphone. The device is supposed to run Windows Phone 7 and it adopts a flat design for its case. I like those Windows buttons very much, since they’re integrated into the device discretely.
The back of the phone and its rounded edges, plus that touch of chrome make it a pretty elegant device, certainly fancier than those plastic units Lumia 710 and Lumia 610. Is this better than the Nokia Lumia 800? Can’t really say, as they’re different designs, both pretty good. What’s Nokia going to come up with once they’ve used up the N9 form factor? We’ll have to wait and see…

Lumia Expresso Windows 8 Concept Tablet Features 10.1 Inch
02/04/2012 00:01 par slaytane
The folks of Mynokiablog are back with a new Windows 8 Nokia tablet concept, that looks very much like the Nokia Tab we saw a while ago. This model is called the Nokia Lumia Expresso, so it’s guess it’s related to that “coffee tablet” they’ve shown us. This Windows 8 device features a 10.1 inch ClearBlack AMOLED display with a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution.
Nokia Lumia Expresso Windows 8 Concept Tablet Features 10.1 Inch Display, 1.2GHz Quad Core CPU
There’s also a 1.2GHz quad core processor on board, 2GB of RAM, 32/64/128GB storage, a 12 megapixel camera and a 2MP front facing camera. WiFi, 3G, quad speakers and NFC are also on board and the Nokia Lumia Expresso is capable of wireless charging among others. Its most surprising feature is that it incorporates a projector, able to project a whole keyboard in front of it. The design is very N9-like and also looks a bit like the exterior part of the display on the Booklet 3G.
I can’t understand why designer Tris Clark decided to include the Windows, Back and Search buttons on the lower part of the display, since those can be display in the Charm area in Windows 8. There’s also a Play 360 speaker in the mix, paired to the Nokia concept tablet via NFC. Those quad speakers also sound like a good idea, so a great multimedia experience is ensured.

Well doesn’t Nokia like to reuse designs? They’ve adopted the same N9 polycarbonate shell for the Lumia 800 and 900 and now it’s rumored that they’ll keep at it, for a Symbian model with a great camera. Apparently, they’re also fond of the Nokia X7 design, that might be reused to create the Nokia Lumia 805, as shown in the render below.
Nokia Lumia 805 Render Looks Very Much like the Nokia X7
This images surfaced on Baidu, a Chinese web service and search engine. Nokia Lumia 805 is supposed to feature a 3.9 inch ClearBlack WVGA display, 16GB of internal memory, a 1450 mAh battery and a 12 megapixel camera wit Carl Zeiss Optics and dual LED flash. The X7 had a 4 inch display, 8MP camera and 1200 mAh battery, so the upgrade is welcome. Nokia shouldn’t be ashamed of reusing the design, as the X7 was the coolest Symbian phone I played with, in terms of design.
What I didn’t like about it is that not all 4 corners hid speakers, as it was rumored before its launch, so maybe this time we’ll get an uber music phone with 4 corner speakers. What do you say? Is this just a mere render or a real new Nokia Windows Phone unit ?

Designer Tristan came up with a Nokia tablet concept that we’ve seen before, or at least the form factor looks familiar. I’m talking about the Nokia Lumia Coffee Tab, that looks like an enlarged Nokia N9 and runs Windows 8. This model is placed near coffee beans on a table, so instead of having a coffee table advertised we have a coffee tablet.
Nokia Lumia Coffee Tab Tablet Runs Windows 8
The Lumia slate comes with a 1.4 GHz CPU, 512 MB of RAM, 16 up to 64 GB of storage, a 9.7 inch AMOLED ClearBlack display with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution and an 8 megapixel camera. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera upfront as well as WiFi and 3G among the specs, in the connectivity area. The device seems to be bundled with the Nokia Purity headphones and its specs remind me more of a classic Windows Phone handset than a tablet from 2012. Well, this Nokia tablet design isn’t totally impossible and since the Finns already have 3 handsets with the exact same design, why wouldn’t they apply it to tablets, too?
I’m also hoping that the Lumia Windows 8 Tab will not be bulky, as it seems pretty thick here. Expect the real thing to pop up this summer at Nokia Connection 2012, as hinted by some Nokia officials a while ago.
Nokia Touch and Type Design With Nokia Belle OS

Nokia Touch and Type Design With Nokia Belle OS
01/04/2012 23:53 par slaytane
It’s been a while since I’ve see a Nokia device with a portrait sliding QWERTY form factor… let alone one with a touchscreen display and a keyboard of this type. Meet the Nokia Touch & Type True concept, created by FireDragon and published on Mynokiablog.com. The handset is supposedly from the C2-06 range and it comes with a main home button below the display.
Nokia Touch and Type Design With Nokia Belle OS on Board, Sliding QWERTY Keyboard
This dream Nokia is pocketable, user-friendly, made for single hand use, it has an optical trackpad and a 3.2 inch touchscreen display. The phone runs Nokia Belle on top of a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 4 or 8 GB of internal storage, plus a microSD card slot. A 5/8 megapixel camera is on board, as well as a front cam, for videocalling. And finally, the Nokia Touch & Type slider comes with GPS, WiFi, USB otg, a kickstand and a 1700 mAh battery, that should provide a long time of functioning.
Know that the camera on this device is able to scan a business card with readable content and the main appeal of the phone you see here is the ability to type very fast on its portrait QWERTY keyboard. The designer dismisses landscape sliders, finding them annoying and disturbing when traveling and during meetings.

Diamond is a concept
01/04/2012 23:50 par slaytane
created by Richard Malachowski, from China, who envisions a device with sharp edges and corners and overall and aerodynamic and aggressively shaped smartphone. This Nokia design also involves a triangle-shaped camera sensor and a back side that seems to sport a wood surface. The device may have the many corners of a diamond, but still it’s able to sit right on a flat surface.
Nokia Diamond Has Sharp Corners, Triangle Shaped Camera
With so many corners on the Nokia Diamond one would expect it to sting the user’s hand, to be honest. Also, it can feel a bit uncomfortable in the palm of the user, but at least it’s unique in form factor and it looks very light and slim. I have no real specs for this model, so I suppose we’re dealing with a 4 inch touch display smartphone with Clear Black AMOLED technology, Symbian Belle or MeeGo as the OS of choice, 1 GB of RAM, a 1GHz processor and a 5 or 8 megapixel camera at the back.
The volume buttons on this baby also seem to be wooden, just like the battery cover, while the rest of the phone might as well be polycarbonate. Of course, the wood-like side can be an imitation, but I doubt Nokia would resort to such materials. In the end I see this as a fashion phone, considering its shape, name, materials and form factor.

Deviantart member Qromodynmc created a very colorful Nokia concept phone, dubbed YosePhone, that can be seen below. The key here is borrowing some element from the Nokia N8 and the N9 maybe and another important factory is asymmetry. Notice hone the left side is different from the right one, especially at the back and so is the lower area and upper side.
Nokia Colorful Concept Uses Asymmetry to Stand out
I can see this as the long awaited follow-up to the Nokia N8, with a potent 16 megapixel camera (it has been done by HTC Titan II at CES 2012), dual LED or maybe dual Xenon flash and some powerful speakers. The screen seems like an edge to edge affair, maybe a 4 inch Super AMOLED screen with a qHD or even HD resolution. Other than that I’m expecting a dual core processor inside and maybe some of that promised Symbian Donna action I’ve been hearing about.
What would you want to see on this phone and what other Nokia model do you think it resembles? Also, what OS do you fancy on it? As I said, I see it as Symbian Donna material…
