HTC has a phone for everyone: the tech addict (Sensation), the girls (Rhyme), the music fan (Sensation XE or any Beats phone) and finally those looking for a lower end model (Wildfire and Wildfire S). What they lack is a rugged phone for sports enthusiasts, a niche filled by the HTC Rubber, a concept created by Richard Malachowski.

Originating from Barcelona, Spain, the designer envisioned a rubbery HTC concept phone, that switches the unibody aluminum case for one covered with a more flexible and resilient surface. I guess that this model would survive a drop, unlike the HTC HD2, that has been famous for cracking up once it hit the floor.

In spite of the rubbery design, the form factor at the back is kept the same, especially in the camera area. I’d see the HTC Rubber as a phone for skaters, snowboarders, climbers or simply people who work in extreme conditions and are prone to drop or smash their smartphones. Hopefully, the display has some solid Gorilla Glass layer on top…

With a name like HTC Cupid, this is certainly a handset for the ladies created by the same Kevin Zhou that brought us the HTC Elegant smartphone. Like the latter, this model runs Windows Phone, most likely in the Mango flavor, since the concept was published recently.

HTC Cupid comes with a 4 inch display, a front camera, a 11mm waistline and most likely a 5 or 8 megapixel camera at the back. 8/16GB of internal memory, Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G are the usual specs to expect from this conceptual design of a HTC. Since it’s probably intended for the ladies, expect a special charm with it and maybe some cool accessories.

Lately HTC launched the Rhyme model for ladies, but that one was based on Android, so why not give the damzels a Windows Phone unit, too? Black Friday is coming and the proper price there will be a HTC smartphone in all the right purses. Unless a Nokia with Windows Phone and pink case has something to say about that…

Alexander Black emailed us one of his creations, the HTC EVO HD concept, that can be seen below. We’re dealing here with a very powerful smartphone, one that supposedly uses a 2 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor and a 3D display that doesn’t require special glasses.

Also, considering the name EVO HD, I’m expecting a 720p display on this smartphone with a 4.5 inch diagonal. The deice also has 4G connectivity enabled, a battery with 10 hours of functioning and an 8 megapixel camera at the front (!!), plus a 10 megapixel camera at the back. The goal here would be HD videocalling, if LTE were available… which is pretty cool actually.

Also, I can’t help but notice how thin this phone is… almost like a credit card and I wonder how they can fit an 8 megapixel and 10 megapixel camera in such a small package. HTC must come up with a very Samsung-like technology to pull off this stunt…

Abhi Aravind has quite a bunch of concepts available on our website, so one more can’t hurt, right? The latest newcomer is the HTC Nova, a superb Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich handset with the ability to play back 1920 x 1080 video, supposedly.

The HTC concept pone uses a 4.3 inch capacitive touchscreen, a 12 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and 1080p video recording, plus a 1GHz dual core processor and 1GB of RAM. 48GB of SSD memory, plus up to 80GB of expandable storage are also available. Filling in the blanks are 4G connectivity, USB 3.0 and WiFi, plus a customizable homescreen.

If Android 4.0 is anything like this, then I’m buying the devices it’ll be available on! As far as the HTC Nova goes, the speaker at the top is a nice touch, while the capacitive buttons at the bottom remind me of the HTC Touch older models, which is always a good thing, since everyone seemed to love those early smartphones.

Abhi Aravind has become a household name here at Concept Phones, since we’ve published a couple of his designs, like the HTC HD3 handset. Now comes another HTC model, the Nebula. This is Android 2.3 Gingerbread smartphone with a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED capacitive screen that Samsung would be jealous of.

The screen of the HTC Nebula supports a qHD resolution and this handset also comes with a 1.2GHz processor, an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus and 1080p video recording, plus 1GB of RAM, 256MB of Nvidia video memory, WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS and 4G. USB 3.0 and 24GB of onboard storage complete the specs, together with a dedicated music key and surround speakers.

The last two features make me think that this is a music phone and we haven’t had so many of those lately, ever since the touchscreen phone era started. Is there room for a HTC music smartphone out there, considering Sony Ericsson is pulling from the hat very much the same thing?
