Flex
16/08/2011 16:52
After yesterday’s flexible Samsung Galaxy phone, today we bring you a flexible HTC created by Kareem Pownall from Hartford. His idea is to implement two screens on a smartphone, including a flexible OLED touchscreen.
A
This flexible display scrolls out of the phone, providing a 6 inch widescreen display in total. When rolled in, the device is pretty tiny and reminds me of an older Nokia model that was also very narrow and a bit bulky. I love the upper and lower side of the device, that’s pretty modern and the profile picture of this unit looks a bit like a sci-fi starship.
My worry is the usual one: how fragile this HTC cocnept phone really is… Would you like a flexible HTC smartphone?

Blast
16/08/2011 16:47
Antoine Brieux has sent us one of his news designs, a HTC concept called Blast. The device is pictured below and brings a new look to the Taiwanese maker’s products. HTC Blast is a butonless smartphone based on the HAND POWER technology, used to turn on the screen without the aid of buttons.
At the front, Blast incorporates a wide 4.7 inch touchscreen and on the inside we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.5GHz dual core CPU with Adreno 220 chipset. There’s also 1GB of ROM on board and 1GB of RAM, plus 32GB of internal storage. The screen is an AMOLED unit with a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution.
At the back of the HTC phone there’s a 12 megapixel camera with full HD video recording and dual LED flash, accompanied by a front 3.2 megapixel camera. Connectivity-wise, the concept comes with WiFi, 3G, 4G ad Bluetooth and the power source of the device is a 1800 mAh battery. The dual core smartphone measures 9mm in thickness and weighs 165 grams, 10 grams less than the Xperia Play.
What’s really interesting is that the phone runs Android 3.0 Honeycomb with HTC Sense.

Stick

Remember the HTC Tube tablet concept? Well, Antoine Brieux continues his creation with an interesting accessory for this tablet-smartphone: a secondary Stick Phone with basic functionality. The device is only used to answer a call on the Tube tablet.
Aside from the speaker, microphone, answer and end call keys, this stick phone doesn’t sport other features and it does strictly what a phone is supposed to do: allows the user to chat with other people, while the tablet does the rest, replacing a full fledged PC.

Tube Laptop
16/08/2011 16:35
Antoine Brieux showed us some fantastic designs till now, but now he has outdone himself with the HTC Tube concept, in the finalized version. Well, the HTC Tube Phone was detailed a while ago and so was the HTC Tube Tablet, but now we’re dealing with a laptop that integrates them both.
The result is a cartridge-powered notebook, a multimedia laptop using both the cartridge tablet and a keyboard accessory. There’s also a basic phone integrated for quick answering, a stick handset that we’ll detail in a later article. Well, considering the features of the concept HTC tablet, the laptop must use the 10.4 inch S-AMOLED multitouch display, HDMI port, 128GB of memory (at least) and either Android or Windows Phone 7.
HTC Sense is the UI of choice, with the Tube Phone maybe providing its 3.2, 5 or 12 megapixel camera in different configurations. This is the heaven of all modular devices out there and a brilliant design. Any company would be a fool not to invest in such cool gear. Stay tuned for the following article on the NAK Stick Phone!

New Eden 1
16/08/2011 16:30
Jason Wang is back with a new HTC Concept phone, the New Eden 1, pictured below. We’re talking about a sturdy aluminum case handset, that’s able to face both damage and fingerprints intact. It comes with a 4 inch qHD AMOLED display with a curved glass, that’s a tribute to the Dell Venue phones.
Capacitive buttons are placed below the screen and we have to mention that the HTC New Eden 1 is a dual core TI OMAP 4 1.2GHz smartphone, that uses 1GB of RAM. The result is a gadget that’s thinner than the iPhone 4, at a mere 9.1mm. At the back you’ll find a 16 megapixel Sony camera module, with LED flash, while at the front there’s a classic 1.3 megapixel camera.
You can use up to 64GB of microSD memory on this phone, that comes with 16GB of internal memory and a 1700 mAh battery. Wonder if Sony would ever agree to supply camera sensors to HTC, especially with the rumored partnership they have with Apple.
