Samsung a récemment annoncé le lancement d’un téléphone sous Android très intéressant en Chine, le SCH-W999. Conçu pour les personnes qui aiment les paires, ce téléphone a deux écrans 3.5″ Super AMOLED (480 x 800), slots dual SIM, connectivité dual-mode (GSM et CDMA2000), et un processeur Qualcomm MSM8660 1.2GHz dual-core.

Le SCH-W999 a un pavé numérique classique, an APN 5 mégapixels sur la façade arrière, Android 2.3 avec TouchWiz, une façade arrière HyperSkin (comme le Galaxy Nexus), Bluetooth 3.0, WiFi, WAPI, et GPS. Le prix et la disponibilité ne sont pas connus, mais un appareil comme celui-ci pourrait probablement aider certains à faire la transition depuis le bas de gamme vers le smartphone. Mais avec deux écrans super AMOLED et un processeur dual-core, ce téléphone ne devrait pas être donné.

Le Nokia Lumia 610, dévoilé au salon MWC 2012, se dévoile en version NFC, prochainement commercialisée par l'opérateur Orange.

In case you didn’t know, there’s a very interesting Facebook page with HTC concepts, that Hasan Kaymak has been showing us. One of the latest such designs is the HTC Air tablet, a very thin slate that can be seen in the following shots. This thin device probably measures under 8mm in thickness, if I were to guess…

Also, I suppose it’s a quad core Android 4.0 HTC Tablet with a 10 inch display with 1280 x 800 pixel resolution and packing a 5 or 8 megapixel camera. The internal memory is around 32GB and the device supports 4G LTE connectivity, plus it brings a bit of HTC Sense 4.0 and HTC Scribe stylus action, as the Taiwanese company would do, if the product were real.

The sad thing here is that in real life, such a device wouldn’t stand out from the crowd and offer the same things that all the other Android tablets are offering right now. What selling point can HTC find on the tablet market to make them really unique? Any ideas? Maybe some gaming or some very cool business apps with the HTC Scribe involved?

HTC Sense 3.5 is not even out on so many devices out there and already there’s talk of Sense 4.0 and even Sense UI 4.1 Plus, the concept imagined by Hasan Kaymak. He created the HTC Classic concept phone, that you can see below, following up on a series of HTC designs created by the same man.

HTC Classic comes with a metallic case, a 9 megapixel camera with LED flash at the rear, a 2 megapixel camera at the front and a 4.7 inch 720p display. The latter reminds me of the HTC Sensation XL, aside from the resolution of the display. The device runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with Sense UI 4.1 Plus and on board you’ll also find Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi b/g/n, GPS and Bluetooth Data Transfer, a new feature on the device.

The smartphone is 8.6mm thick, comes with Beats Audio technology and uSchool, an app for students that translates, solves math problems and much more. There’s also an extra GPS sensor for extra sensitive locating and finding things easier. This can’t be considered a futuristic device, since such smartphones will be seen plentiful at MWC 2012.

of which you can find plenty on his Facebook page. This time it’s the HTC Bloom we’re having a look at, with its 4.7 inch 720p HD display and 1.8GHz dual core processor. As far as the OS goes, this device runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC Sense 4.0 UI.

HTC Bloom features a 12 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, a 2 megapixel front camera for videocalls and Beats Audio technology. LED lights on the bottom side give it a cool design and you must know that this smartphone is also Bluetooth 4.0 and LTE 4G compatible. All of that in a 8.5mm thick shell, so it’s a very elegant piece of gear.

I have a feeling that Apple is going to base its next iPhone on a design like this, since this model has something that reminds me of Apple. It may be how classy it is, or maybe those white areas, but this surely looks like a solid Android 4.0 smartphone. I’m really looking forward to the first concepts or images of HTC Sense 4.0. Any ideas?
