Well, since the first Galaxy Note was actually a bigger Galaxy S II, why wouldn’t the Samsung Galaxy Note II be a larger Galaxy S III? The new design you see here comes from Bob Freking, who I asked to imagine the next Galaxy Note and this is what came out.

We’ve got a smartablet with rounded edges, front camera, potent camera at the back, stylus and elongated Home button. It’s also a pretty wide device, so the diagonal may even increase. Samsung Galaxy Note 2 features a quad core Exynos 1.8 GHz processor, but it may also be that new ARM Cortex A15 chip they’re developing right now. An increase to 5.5 inches is also expected by Bob Freking, as well as a jump to 1080p HD AMOLED screen or maybe even a higher resolution.

Galaxy S III comes with the nature-based UX, so I guess the same idea would come here, but with a twist associated to the S Pen, or maybe the S Pen II. You know what would be extremely cool? If the stylus was also a headset, like on the ASUS PadFone, or even cooler: a thicker stylus with AAA batteries, that serves as pico projector. How do you like that?

If you’re looking into the future and searching for the Samsung Galaxy S IV handset, then Alexander Black may have an insight into that. He teased you all a couple of days ago and now it’s time to unveil… the Samsung Galaxy Aurora. The project is not done, since he plans to mix Android 5.0 in this piece of work and some modular stuff.

A follow-up project is also coming. As far as the Samsung Galaxy Aurora is concerned sees when you’re resting your eyes and goes into auto sleep mode. It also comes with a reliable assistant, the S Voice function that works beautifully. The handset will also “know” you’re at the movies and silence itself automatically. Its screen is heat resistant and the new Galaxy model packs a rotating 12 megapixel camera, available for all the angles of stunning photos you can imagine.

There’s also a holographic 3D function, that’s showcased in the last image below and it looks like a real battery drainer this one. Galaxy Aurora knows your touch by the heat you emanate and finally here are some more features to feast on: quad core 2 GHz processor, wireless router chip build in, 4G connectivity, 35 mAh rechargeable battery (does he mean 3500 mAh?) with 20-22 hours of talk time. To me this model looks like a combo between the Nokia N9 and a more rectangular Samsung Galaxy Nexus, if you want. What do you say?

If you haven’t heard about Antoine Brieux/NAK Studio, it’s a real shame, since he’s a talented designer and I suggest you click his name and check out his work on our website. Now he has a fresh concept for us, the Galaxy Nexus Black S, a beautiful render that shows us how the future of Google phone flagships may look like.

It’s a pretty wide device, that packs a big 4.9 inch Super AMOLED+ display with 720p resolution and runs Android 4.0 ICS. It weighs 153 grams, measures 8.43 mm in thickness and also offers HSPA+, WiFi, Bluetooth, 32/64GB of storage, plus a 2050 mAh battery. The brain of the Galaxy Nexus Black S is a 1.4 GHz quad core processor, maybe an Exynos, maybe a future Snapdragon from Qualcomm. NFC, an accelerometer and a buttonless design fill in the blanks here, as well as 1.5GB of RAM, a plunge that no company has dared to make on the memory side so far.

The case is all aluminium unibody and you’ve got a virtual SIM card with PC adaptor included (not sure what that means). There’s a 12 megapixel camera at the back with continuous autofocus and a 3.2MP sensor upfront for videocalls. The standard 3 capacitive buttons are placed below the display and the case is slightly curved, just like the Galaxy Nexus unit from 2011. The side area of the handset reminds me a bit of the Xperia Play, if I may say so. It’s got a great metallic look that everyone will love.

The most prolific designer we’ve had on this website for years, Bob Freking recently read a piece on Phone Arena about the upcoming Samsung Espresso 10 and Espresso 7 tablets, that are supposed to launch in June. He then proceeded to design a bunch of renders to fit the newcomers. You can check them out below:

Bob wants Samsung to “battle in the high end segment” and not be happy with the lower end one. He imagines an Exynos 5 A15 processor will be on board, as well as an improved camera, to finally get rid of all those poor 3MP sensors on the latest Sammy slates. The designer wants an 8 megapixel camera this time, the same sensor on the Galaxy S II, plus a case that’s as thick as the one of the Galaxy Tab series and Android 4.0 ICS as a must have feature. Expandable storage, 4G LTE and 3G are also available.

Bob pictures the Samsung Espresso 10 and Espresso 7 as having a 2560 x 1440 resolution, that beats the one on the iPad 3 and gives the tablets a 290 ppi status. Finally, the designs came with some prices associated, such as a minimum of $399 for the 10.1 inch Espresso tablet with 16GB of storage and WiFi. Add to that 3G and the price goes to $449, add 4G and it’s $499. The 7 incher 16GB Espresso goes for $299, but once again these are merely speculations!

After yesterday’s showcasing of the Motorola Nexus RAZR concept, we have another Android 5.0 phone on our hands. This Jelly Bean device has been created by Hasan Kaymak and goes by te name Samsung Galaxy Nexus+. The device features a 4.5 inch Full HD display and a quad core processor.

There’s also an 8 megapixel camera on board, Google Voice+, a feature that’s just like Siri (or even better) and some extra UI functions. For example, the designer imagined an editable Status Bar, Dock (color, style, icons) and also a tweakable Menu style. From what I can see, the design is not totally different from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, since it’s a Plus model afer all, like the Galaxy S II Plus and Galaxy S Plus. This means that it only adds a minor improvement or two.

In this case the improvement is particularly the CPU and mainly the camera, something that people complained about on the original Galaxy Nexus, that only had a 5Mp sensor. Android 5.0 Jelly Bean looks nice and keeps very much of the Android 4.0 design styling, so I can’t really figure out any design additions. The back button looks a bit modified, unless I’m mistaking…
