The international version of Sony’s Japanese Xperia GX has been suffering a crisis of identity, being known as the LT29i and also by the codename Hayabusa. But it has yet to get an official, consumer-friendly name. A leak from sources at Xperia Blog claims the phone has a name: the Sony Xperia TX. This would fit in with Sony’s new naming convention, which uses single and double letters to designate the relationship between high-end and mid-level phones. So the Xperia TX would clearly be a higher-end Xperia T.

It is said to sport a 4.6-inch HD reality 720p screen, a dual-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, 1GB RAM, Android 4.0 ICS, a whopping 13MP camera with HDR video, a thin 7mm profile, and a nice size battery. This is certainly shaping up to be Sony’s latest flagship model. We’re expecting to see this phone, along with the Xperia T and Xperia Tablet at IFA in Berlin later this month.

Who’s waiting for this one?

Designer Androgama recently sent us one of his new concept Sony Xperia devices, the Maxi. The Xperia Maxi is a rugged, resilient handset that takes its inspiration from the Xperia Active, as shown by the design, choice of colors and features. However, this time we’re dealing with a more evolved unit.

Maxi comes with a 1.2GHz processor, a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, LED flash and HD video recording, plus geotagging, face and smile detection, red eye reduction and a 3 inch LCD display with Bravia Mobile Engine technology. Exmor R tech is also used here and Maxi is scratch resistant, water resistant and has wet finger tracking. There’s also a Maxi II planned by Androgama, a concept that aimes at giving the best smartphone performance in the mid end range.

It’s also a handset for the young people, just like the Xperia Active and the first Maxi. Basically, this phone is an SE Xperia Active model with an upgraded CPU and some design tweaks, if you ask me…

Welcome to the Samsung Waview, an intriguing concept created by Li Wei and having at its center flexible LED screen technology. What’s really nice about this oversized smartphone or smaller tablet is that it can also be used as a lampshade when it doesn’t serve as a communication device.

Curved Tablet Design is Actually a Flexible Smartphone

The handset becomes not only a lampshade through its placement in a special cradle, but it also charges up through the same mechanism. Flexible LED phones are mere prototypes and concepts now, but the likes of Sony and Samsung are working hard to make them real. It will be cool to have a phone or tablet with a solid base area and a flexible display that you can expand to either handset size or slate size.

Samsung Waview is a pretty nice start for a future prototype, but its glass looks a bit too thick to be viable. A quick idea for specs: dual core 2GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 720p resolution, 8MP camera and maybe some 3D graphics thrown in just for fun. Would you dig such a device?
