06/03/2010 13:35 par slaytane

board user RKSynth created a Samsung concept phone called the Alatydo, packing a very interesting set of specifications. The handset comes with an incredible Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.3 GHz processor and a 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen with a 480 x 800 pixels resolution.

There are not futuristic specs, since it’s possible that we’ll see such devices in 2010, maybe released by HTC first, not Samsung. Back to the concept, we also learn that Samsung Alatydo comes with TouchWiz UI 2.0, an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash, WiFi with DLNA, GPS, 32GB of internal memory and FM radio with RDS.

The Samsung handset also features tri-band 3G with HSDPA (7.2Mbps) connectivity, Bluetooth and USB 2.0, plus a 3.5mm audio jack and an accelerometer sensor.

Sony Ericsson was never a company to launch BlackBerry lookalikes, providing an alternative to those handsets and to Nokia E Series phones, through their P Series. Now that the P Series is dead, Esato board user MrEstranger proposes a rival, thanks to theSony Ericsson Swift concept phone.

This QWERTY handset measures 14mm in thickness, it runs Android and it packs an 800 MHz CPU, a resistive touchscreen display and a microSD card slot. There’s also an 8 megapixel camera at the back, complete with autofocus and flash, plus a 3.5mm audio jack and a very interesting full QWERTY keyboard, pictured above.

You’ll also find two user defined shortcut keys on the front panel and we must say that combining a touchscreen with a front QWERTY keyboard can be risky, but also a winning solution. What do you think?

board member hydro created an interesting XPERIA concept, that you can see below. Dubbed the XPERIA Vibrance X12, this is a full touch smartphone, that’s very thin, probably has a huge screen diagonal and runs Android.

The new XPERIA features a 4 inch HD OLED touch display, 16GB of internal memory, an 8 megapixel camera at the back, the Walkman 4 player, Mediascape/Timescape UI and Android 2.1.

This device looks pretty good and we’re looking forward to seeing more images portraying the concept phone.

Believe it or not, Esato board user Juris15, who swears he’s not a professional Photoshop user created a pretty neat Sony Ericsson concept, pictured below. The designer is a mere 17 years old and this device is called the Sony Ericsson Aino II.

Also dubbed the U10, the handset comes with a full touchscreen display, a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 720p HD recording, a 3.5mm audio jack and a microUSB connector. What do you think about this design?

3G is All About Touchscreen and Handwriting/ Symbol Recognition

Sonny Lim, a designer from Singapore has created a pretty interesting Sony Ericsson concept phone, dubbed the 3G, that’s based on a simplistic method of communication. Sony Ericsson 3G uses its large touchscreen display, allowing the users to draw symbols and write text and numbers with the thumb on a nine-dot matrix.

It’s like children’s finger-painting and the basic idea behind the handset is user-friendliness and the resemblance to natural writing. Also, it turns out that drawing a character is faster and easier to do than searching for a letter on a tiny keyboard. This visual input method is very useful, specially for people who don’t use English language.

We’ve also got to admit that the phone looks pretty hot and sci-fi, specially with that greenish color.

It’s been ages since we’ve seen a phone for the ladies in these parts, but thanks to Esato board user S4k1s, the dames can feast their eyes on a beautifulsmartphone. Check out the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X12 Pink Lush concept below, probably a follow-up or local version to the XPERIA X10.
Keep in mind that Valentine’s Day is coming and your girl would die for a gift like this! However, this phone is not real… keep that in mind before posting comments regarding its price.

More Shots of the Windows Mobile 8 Concept

A couple of days ago we showed you some shots of a supposed Windows Mobile 8 design on a Sony Ericsson device, courtesy of Esato board user Remort1. Now, the designer published a bunch more shots of the concept OS, showing its media functions and its media center.

The device and its platform look great in landscape mode and the handset looks like some future XPERIA, if you ask me. I’m really curious to find out the resolution and diagonal of the display on thissmartphone, plus the required processor to run such an OS…

Let’s speculate a bit: Qualcomm’s upcoming 1.5 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and quite a bit of ROM?

12.1 Megapixel Cameraphone Concept, Designed by Remort1

06/03/2010 13:18 par slaytane

board user Remort1 created a fresh Sony Ericsson concept, sporting an UI called Xcellent and a 12.1 megapixel camera. The latter supports autofocus, touch focus, video recording, geo tagging and face detection, plus it comes with a Xenon flash.

The same cameraphone also uses smile detection, an image stabiliser, photo fix, video light, red eye reduction and up to 16x digital zoom. Bluetooth stereo is also on the specs list, as well as, TrackID, PlayNow, a 3.5mm audio jack anda pretty big touchscreen display.

This looks like a pretty good cameraphone, with all the media functions that a Walkman handset needs to rival a PMP/audio player. What do you think?

Karina Concept Gets Detailed

Days after Esato board user Razec teased us with a couple of 2010 Sony Ericsson phones, we have a detailed look at the Sony Ericsson Karina concept phone. The device is pictured below and it combines the Walkman and Cyber-shot brands into a 11.9mm thick smartphone that runsWindows Mobile.

Karina supports GSM, HSDPA, WiMAX 802.16e, Bluetooth 3.0 and comes with a 3.2 inch HWVGA TFT LCD display, the TI-OMAP 3430 platform (Samsung ARM Cortex A8 CPU, PowerVR SGX 535 Graphics 28MT/s) and 256MB RAM. There’s also 1GB of internal memory on board, a microSD-XC card slot, a 3.5mm audio jack and a microUSB port.

Windows Mobile 7 is running the show on the handset, in a customized version and the device also packs a 1500 mAh Lithium Polymer battery. At the back ofSony Ericsson Karina you’ll find an 8 megapixel HD camera, with 720p video recording support, a mechanical lens cover, LED flash and a 1/3.2 inch Sony Exmor CMOS sensor.

I have to say that Razec did a great job with this Windows Mobile 7 phone that combines the features of a smartphone with the ones of a cameraphone and we hope to see more of these handsets in 2010!
