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.
 

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.

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…

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.

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.
