Phone of 2015, a Beautiful Concept

Samsung Galaxy S6: What Do You Want for the 2015 Flagship? (Video)

I’m sure that by now you know Bob Freking for his revolutionary smartphone concepts and now he offers you the chance to participate in designing the next Galaxy S. He posted the following video, asking you for 6 things you want to see on the Samsung Galaxy S6.

This 2015 Samsung flagship is supposed to fix the disappointment of the Galaxy S5 launch that went down last week. Keep in mind that whatever you say, Bob Freking takes into account and designs accordingly. I would suggest a 64 bit processor, 3 GB of RAM and a modular camera with a couple of bundled lenses.
I would also see this handset adopting a 2K resolution on a 5.2 or 5.3 inch display and an edge to edge design format used here. The case would finally be metallic and the Home physical button would be gone. The fingerprint scanner could be integrated into the screen this time and the cardiac sensor will be kept. What do you think of these Galaxy S6 suggestions?

HTC Nexus 2015 Tablet Teased by Hasan Kaymak

Tuesday, February 25th, 2014

(30 votes, average: 3.17 out of 5)
Every time we visit Hasan Kaymak’s Google+ page we know there’s a new product design ready to hit us. This time it’s a beautiful HTC tablet, a 2015 Nexus, as described by its maker.

This model is only teased for now, so I expect that over the following week or so we’ll get a full gallery of this curved slate. This model doesn’t seem to have any edges, so I’m guessing it’s the first tablet with an edge to edge screen. I love its curved edges, that somehow give the HTC Nexus tablet a gaming vibe.
Judging by the trends at MWC 2014, this model should have a Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB of RAM and Android 5.0 Liquorish or whatever its name will be. I can guess this is a 2560 x 1600 pixel screen, if not 4K even, with a 10 inch diagonal or perhaps even more. What say you, Hasan Kaymak?

HTC M9 Could be the Flagship of 2015

Wednesday, December 18th, 2013

(38 votes, average: 2.55 out of 5)
Rohit Singh is back after this HTC M8 concept with a device he calls the HTC M9. This model is supposed to be a flagship phone of 2015 and certainly sounds like one. This handset opts for a single BoomSound speaker and an interesting and modern back pattern.

The fingerprint scanner on the side, from the previous concept is still here and we’ve got a 12 Ultrapixel camera and Snapdragon 805 CPU, so not much has changed. 4 GB of RAM and a 2K display are also here, as well as HTC Zoe and BlinkFeed. The screen measures 5.2 inches in diagonal and has Gorilla Glass protection.

The case is made of premium aluminum and Android KitKat is the OS of choice here, with HTC Sense 6.0 or 6.5 maybe. The back has a very nice 3D look to it and the camera area feels very much like a Nexus 5 or something like it. Interestingly enough there are 4 capacitive buttons here, a trend that has not been popular for a long while now.

Samsung Galaxy S VI Gives us a Glimpse of 2015… Or Even Further

Wednesday, March 13th, 2013

(95 votes, average: 4.16 out of 5)
Yes, you read the title right, it’s Samsung Galaxy S VI or Galaxy S6 if you want, not the Galaxy S IV launching tomorrow. Vilim Pluzaric imagined it and claims that he sees the newcomer as a cultural icon, that will replace the iconic nature of the iPhone, so he dedicated lots of hours to this project.

Vilim Pluzaric wants the design to be humane again and not so focused on crazy specs and advancements. The new Galaxy S VI design includes technologies that have yet to be launched, but they are truly a subject of innovation. We return to the roots, to the 4.5 inch screen, a larger frame/edge around the display, that actually makes sense from the point of view of the ergonomics. Edge to edge is dismissed by the designer as not so viable.
There’s also a RGB wide gamut OLED display and a non rectangular surface of the screen. The Samsung Galaxy concept is very thin and also very smooth and it’s made of plastic, with a futuristic generation of nano coating called Hyperskin. Everything goes to wireless, so there are no audio jacks or charging ports or even USB.

The device runs Android 6.0 with Gravity UX, that actually looks to me as innovative as the jump from Gingerbread to Android ICS, frankly speaking, so it’s impressive. The battery is also next gen and should provide one week of heavy usage on a single charging, while the display supports a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution. At the back we have an 18 megapixel camera with 4K high framerate video recording.

Nokia BlackBerry Concept is 2015 Material

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

(73 votes, average: 4.33 out of 5)
Gregory Pizzatto couldn’t have found a better time to design this Nokia Touch BlackBerry concept, with the aim of the product being the year 2015. Right now both Nokia and RIM are struggling to find a direction and if they join heads and maybe also include Windows Phone in the mix they’ll make it…

Back to Gregory’s design, we can see here a Nokia for 2015 with a sliding touch area that serves as the keyboard the device. There’s also a menu available for touch on the main area of the device, with icons that resembles the ones in iOS, the older version even. There seems to be a camera at the top of the back side.
The sliding part seems to include a virtual QWERTY keyboard, if I’m not mistaking. I’ll be back in the next days with some other designs from Gregory, this time with Android and a clamshell unit.

Nokia Shows Technology of 2015 In Front of Camera (Video)

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

(14 votes, average: 4.21 out of 5)
Nokia’s usual demo of future technology is once again loose, this time showing how mobile technology will look like in 2015. The company’s head of corporate strategy, Heikki Norta tells us how we’ll be living 6 years from now, surrounded by touch UIs and high tech devices. Here’s the video:
The key words for this not so remote future are augmented reality, omnipresent connectivity, dual display handsets, micro projectors, laser keyboards and basically anything we’ve seen as a concept, but turned into reality. A huge network aggregator will be at the core of the services and software, connecting hundreds of millions of users.
Intelligent devices will stay in sync, provide weather, financial and other types of updates and some uber-cool sharing options will also be available. Dreamy? Yes… and somewhat scary.

NTT DoCoMo Phone of 2015 Gets Detailed on Video

Friday, June 12th, 2009

(4 votes, average: 3.25 out of 5)
We were fascinated by NTT DoCoMo’s concept phone we discovered last week, specially since it was a device meant to hit the market in 2015. This modular handset supported various attachments, like a blood testing gadget and even a flute. Turns out that there’s also a flexible scroll attachment, you can check out below.

Notice the big clear screen available for the user to visualise, replacing your daily newspaper. If this is the concept cellphone of 2015, we’re definitely its fans and you can see more of NTT’s ideas for the following 6 years in the video below, since their handset design looks so promising.

2015 Phone Designed by Monica Lee Features a Sensitive Keypad

Friday, November 7th, 2008

(1 votes, average: 3.00 out of 5)
Monica Lee pictured the 2015 “communicator phone”, the result being this iNSTINCT dESIGN which is part of the OX series. The concept handset uses wireless connectivity to transfer all the files you need at any time and it has a display on its edge, which can only show the time.

The keypad is delicate, that’s why it comes with a protective cover and in case you’re looking for a camera, there’s none to be found, or at least we didn’t find it… Notice the S shape of the device? Now that’s hot!

Vertu Suave, the Feminine Pink Gold Phone of 2015

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

(6 votes, average: 3.17 out of 5)
We’re back to 2015, with a Vertu handset designed for ladies this time, the Suave phone. This concept was created by Christopher Tak Cheung Yue and it’s the new definition of luxury and sophistication. It comes with organic shapes and turns into a comfortable interaction environment.

In order to make it a real Vertu, it includes precious metals like yellow gold or pink gold (front side) plus a titanium rim and sheep skin leather (back side).

Vertu Edge Touchscreen Phone of 2015, a Beautiful Concept

Seems that most designers have 2 years in mind when creating the phones of the future: 2012 and 2015. After seeing 3 Nokia cellphones of 2012, it’s time to check out the Vertu line of 2015, which includes the Edge handset. This concept design was created by Samant Khanna and it’s a small 70 mm device with a touchscreen.

The Vertu Edge comes with a small frontal screen used for the basic functions and a foldable edge-to-edge touchscreen at the back of the handset. This can be folded upwards, converting Edge into a bar phone. The other specs are impressive too: built-in GPS, 16GB of internal memory, high-speed mobile broadband support and Office Mobile.
All of that is packed within a stylish handset, that I hope we’ll see on the market sooner than 2015.
