Classic Sony Ericsson Design Reminds Us of the Good Times

02/03/2011 02:12 par slaytane

board member RKSynth recently published a concept that reminds us of the times when Sony Ericsson rocked the world. Well, they seem to be back at it, with the Xperia series, but there was a time when the T and P models were very loved. The handset below combines the design of a P Series model with the back of a Cyber-shot.

The idea of having a portrait QWERTY keyboard with a sliding part on top is quite original and PDA-like, for old school fans. Would you buy such a device, especially if it had Android on it?

Xeta Runs Android Honeycomb

22/02/2011 18:37 par slaytane

Back again with the Android 3.0 Honeycomb phone story, that seems to be getting more and more real… This time we’re dealing with a Sony Ericsson concept, created by Frank Tobias and known as Sony Ericsson Xeta. This device features a 2GHz dual core CPU, a 4.2 inch touchscreen display and a full HD 8.1 megapixel camera at the back (with Exmor R sensor).

At the front of the Sony Ericsson Xeta there’s a 3.2 megapixel camera for videocalls, while the handset also comes with the Sony Mobile Bravia Engine, a HDMI port and mini USB port. We’re pretty sure that such a device will be available in time for CES 2012 or MWC 2012.

Remort1 from the Esato board is back with yet another Sony Ericsson concept, the SE Auron, that you can see pictured below. This is a 10 megapixel cameraphone, that supports HD video capture, features a full touchscreen display, possibly a neat interface and a dual LED flash, according to the designer’s blog.

Would you see this cameraphone in stores, specially since 12MP is the new 8MP?

Remember the Sony Ericsson Urbania concept phone we’ve shown you a couple of days ago? Created by Esato board member Remort1, the device just got specced via the same forum and user. Thus, we learn that it packs an 8.1 megapixel camera, 3D games, Facebook, YouTube and Bluetooth Stereo.

Its specs list also includes the ability to capture HD video, touch focus, smile detection, a 3.5mm audio jack, HDMI connection, Google Maps and GPS. Sony Ericsson Urbania also comes with WiFi, e-mail, IM, a videocall camera, torch functionality, flight mode, radio, motion gaming and much more.

Will this device ever become real?

Remort1 Redesigns Sony Ericsson Aspen

21/02/2011 23:00 par slaytane

board member Remort1 decided that he didn’t like the Sony Ericsson Aspen eco-friendly phone, so he made his very own version of the device. You can check it out in the following images and you should know that the real handset was announced in February and it’s coming in Q2 2010.

While the original SE Aspen was more business-like and maybe a bit inspired from the Nokia E Series design, this is a more elegant version, created by Remort1. We’re guessing that there’s a keyboard under the facade of the phone, maybe even a QWERTY one, unless the touchscreen and virtual keypad do the trick.

Also the original TFT resistive display with a 2.4 inch diagonal of the real Aspen might have been switched with a 3.5 inch (or so) capacitive touchscreen. Which version of the Aspen do you like more?

Here’s yet another Sony Ericsson concept, spotted on the Esato board: Aino X-Edition, created by Ricky D. This is a full touchscreen candybar handset, based on the A300 OS and packing an 8 megapixel camera with a “straight view” transparent screen, used as a viewfinder.

All the Cybershot-specific features are present on this Aino design, stuff like smile shutter, face recognition, auto contact tagging and much more. Also, the usual specs are present on the device: WiFi, HSPA, aGPS, Bluetooth and a reasonable amount of memory. Likey?

WX1 and WS1, the Return of the Walkman Phone

Do new Sony Ericsson Walkman models even exist any more? Thank God for concepts, though, since Esato board user juris15 has recently showed the world two brilliant Walkman designs he created. We’re talking about the Sony Ericsson WX1 and WS1 models, pictured below and packing all the audio features of great music phones.

Sony Ericsson WX1 comes with a bright 3 inch OLED touchscreen display, noise cancelling technology, 32GB of memory, stereo speakers and a 3.5mm audio jack. WiFi and an 8.1 megapixel camera are also on the specs list, together with 720p HD video recording and a digital amplifier.

As far as the Sony Ericsson WS1 is concerned, this is a sliding QWERTY music phone, with 16GB of memory, a 3 inch touchscreen, stereo speakers, digital sound enhancement, Clear Stereo technology and an 8.1 megapixel camera. What do you say about these great Walkman designs?

H1 is a GreenHeart Smartphone Concept With Tons of RAM

21/02/2011 16:35 par slaytane

board member Remort1 recently designed a Sony Ericsson concept called the H1, a smartphone that’s part of the GreenHeart series. This makes the device eco-friendly, but still we’re more impressed by its specs than its ability to protect Mother Earth.

Sony Ericsson H1 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8650A CPU, 1152MB RAM, 16GB of internal memory and a 3.9 inch HD display. At the back of the handset you’ll find a 10 megapixel camera, while the UI on board is Sony Ericsson Presence. The memory can be expanded with cards of up to 128GB.

More concepts made by Remort1 can be found on this blog.

XPERIA Renovatio Gets Pictured Again

Remember XPERIA Renovatio, the great smartphone design by Jozef Kocúr? Now we’ve got some fresh images of the fully transparent phone that supports gesture recognition. This touchscreen concept phone also comes with email features, a virtual QWERTY keyboard, a calculator and calendar.

The music player on the XPERIA Renovatio looks quite nice, since it’s pretty simple to use and there’s even a photo gallery feature on board, although we have to mention that another unique feature of the device is its black and white screen.

While some of you might not like this choice, that’s part of the charm of this Sony Ericsson concept, based on transparency and elegance.
