tablet concept

01/04/2012 23:55 par slaytane

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.

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

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.

colorful concept phone

01/04/2012 23:45 par slaytane

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…

Hercule

01/04/2012 23:17 par slaytane

You must’ve heard that Nokia decided to give up the name Symbian, simply naming the OS on its handsets Nokia Belle/Anna etc. Thus, this Nokia Hercule concept doesn’t run Symbian Donna, but rather Nokia Donna OS, to make it clear. This design, mockup or whatever you want to call it was done by Rawad Semaan and I have to say that it’s a breath of fresh air from current designs.

Nokia Hercule, the First Nokia Donna/Symbian Donna Device, Shown as Mockup

Nokia Hercule uses a 2GHz Scorpion CPU (Qualcomm MSM8255), an Adreno 205 GPU and a 4.7 inch S-LCD screen with 480 x 800 pixel display. The screen aspect sounds identical to the one on the HTC Sensation XL and HTC Titan, which is not necessarily bad. We get a surprising internal memory of 60GB, 1GB of RAM, 4G connectivity and Bluetooth 3.0, plus microUSB 3.0. At the back there’s an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, dual LED flash, geotagging and 720p video capture.

There’s also a secondary 5MP camera and an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor and compass fill in the blanks of the hardware specs. Seeing the back of this Nokia concept, I can imagine that the texture on its back feels very nice in the user’s hand and those elegant lines remind me of an Armani suit. What do you think about this device and what do you think it lacks?

 

1 Tablet Runs Windows 8

01/04/2012 23:15 par slaytane

After the crazy success of the Nokia Tab Windows 8 tablet concept, now we have another similar design, this time created by YrOnimuS (Jonas Daehnert). He envisions a slate that reminds me a bit of the Nokia N9, but in a larger form factor, that involves a 11.6 inch AMOLED screen and a very thin case. There’s a good chance that the real device might look like this, when it will be unveiled at Nokia Connection 2012.

Nokia 1 Tablet Runs Windows 8, Offers a Slim Design

Nokia 1 Tablet measures 8.5mm in thickness, weighs 580 grams, supports a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution and comes with a 5 megapixel camera at the back with 1080p video capture at 30 fps. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera at the front, 32/64GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, a Li-Po 7500 mAh battery and the OS of choice is Windows 8 ARM Edition. This Nokia tablet concept also includes an active digitizer, based on Wacom technology.

Such a slim and light tablet with Wacom tech and the latest in Microsoft software might become the Hub of your Office experience and a brilliant tool for trendsetting designers and people who draw/create art/sketches and more. Since we handle designer concepts every day, I’ll ask you: is this tablet ideal for a person who draws on the go?

Tab Concept

01/04/2012 23:10 par slaytane

Cameron McKinnon is a name I haven’t heard before, but also a name I’ll remember when Nokia finally launches its Windows 8 tablet. Cameron is the creator of the beautiful Nokia Tab concept tablet shown below, running Windows 8 on top of an ARM based processor. This device is inspired by the Nokia N9 phone and by the Sony Tablet S, according to the designer.

Nokia Tab uses a massive 14.3 inch display, a 12 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss lens, plus Microsoft Kinect motion capture support through a front camera. The gadget is 12mm in thickness, it has 1GB of memory, a 64GB or 128GB HDD and it will be available in WiFi or WiFi + 4G models, if it’s ever made. It also has a SD card slot, a SIM card slot, USB 3.0 and micro USB 2.0 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack. Nokia’s concept tablet runs Windows 8 ARM Edition and its design also involves ergonomic curves for comfortable holding in portrait and landscape mode.

There’s also a power button with LED light in the mix, a camera button and the screen is curved making Windows 8 gestures more natural. The screen has a slope so that it’s easier to type on it and the bulkier side makes this look a bit like the Sony Tablet S. What do you think of this unique Nokia Windows 8 tablet? Would you buy one?

DROID XYBOARD 10.1 MZ617

09/03/2012 13:15 par slaytane

Motorola recently announced Motorola Xoom 2 which is the successor of the previous version. Comparing to original Xoom tablet this new Motorola Xoom 2 is 33% thinner, 10% lighter and Xoom 2 has more than 10 hours of battery life. Verizon will sell this Xoom 2 has Droid Xyboard 10.1 (MZ617) with some hardware changes. This new Motorola Xoom 2 has curved edges; some websites claim that this feature makes more comfortable to hold. I think it’s better if we compare this device with another hot product, so I’m here decided to do a comparison between Motorola Xoom 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (checkout the Galaxy Tab 8.9 article). We already know Samsung is the leader in IT; they manufacture RAMS, displays, hard disks, ARM application processors, etc. etc. Samsung makes some quality consumer products too. Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 is an awesome product, comparing to the previous version Samsung Galaxy tab this new tablet has a bigger screen size and more processing power.

Before I continue this comparison I would like to point out that above mentioned Motorola Xoom 2, Droid Xyboard 10.1 and Samsung Galaxy 10.1 are powered by Android Honeycomb OS. Android operating system now has more than 500,000 apps in the Android Market place. Google claims that they have received 200 million Android device activations. The latest Android OS Ice Cream Sandwich natively supports multi core ARM application processors. So now let’s begin the step-by-step comparison just scroll down for more information.

Design
Motorola Xoom 2 10.1 and Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 are same in dimensions 259.9 x 173.6 x 8.8 mm and it weights 599g. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 dimension is 256.7 x 175.3 x 8.6 mm and weights 565g; you can see Galaxy Tab .2mm slimmer and 34g lighter than the Xoom 2, so one point goes to Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Display
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has a PLS TFT capacitive touchscreen with 800 x 1280 pixels of resolution; the Motorola Xoom 2 has a TFT capacitive touchscreen with 800 x 1280 pixels of resolution; the Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 has a HD-IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with with 800 x 1280 pixels of resolution. As you can see only the display technology differentiates the panels. Let me tell you, this fight between PLS TFT and HD-IPS LCD. According to Wikipedia PLS (Plane Line Switching) technology developed by Samsung and it bears similarities to IPS panels and touts improved viewing angles and image quality, increased brightness and lower production costs. So the display point goes to Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Processor and GPU plus sensors
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Motorola Xoom 2 powered by Nvidia Tegra 2 T20 processor, but Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 powered by Texas Instrument’s OMAP 4430 processor. The processor battle begins between Tegra 2 and OMAP 4430. Nivida Tegra 2 running at 1GHz but OMAP 4430 running at 1.2GHz, extra 200MHz for better performance, at the same time OMAP 4430’s GPU is PowerVR SGX 540 and it is overclocked to 300MHz normally it runs at 200MHz. this boost gives more performance than Tegra 2 GPU checkout this article for more information. These three tablets have the same amount of RAM (1GB). Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has Accelerometer, gyroscope, digital compass and GPS sensors. Motorola Xoom 2 also has the same sensors Accelerometer, gyroscope, digital compass and GPS. But Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 has Accelerometer, gyroscope, digital compass and GPS plus barometer. So the point goes to Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1.
Connectivity
These three tablets integrate same connectivity features, Wi-Fi 802.11 B/ G/ N, Wi-Fi hotspot and Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, EDR. So one point for each brand.
Camera
Motorola Xoom 2 and Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 features 5Mega pixel camera with autofocus and LED flash plus geo-tagging. It can record 720P videos at 30 frames per second. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 features autofocus with LED flash plus geo-tagging. It can record 720P videos but it has only 3Mega pixel camera. So Motorola Xoom 2 and Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 gets one point each.
Final words
Motorola Xoom 2 got two points, Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 (MZ617) got three points and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 got three points. Galaxy Tab and Droid Xyboard scored the same points so it’s up to you. Your turn to choose, by the way don’t forget to type your opinions as a comment.
