Samsung Galaxy S4 is Here! Your Suggestions and Comments Were Turned into a Mockup by Bob Freking! (Video)

Bob Freking asked you to suggest everything you want included on the Samsung Galaxy S4 in this post and you posted a lot of replies, for which we thank you. Now, after carefully analyzing your answers, Bob created the wonderful Samsung Galaxy S4 mockup with specs you can see below, the fruit of your desires and needs. Let's see what this newcomer brings!

So, we're dealing with the 2013 Galaxy S, that features a 13 megapixel camera with backside illuminated sensor, autofocus, 1080p 30 fps video capture. The device is scratch proof and shatter proof and it has an option with an aluminum back as well. There are 6 different versions of back sides to use for this model, that also packs a 3 megapixel front camera with 1080p capture, as well as on screen buttons. Samsung Galaxy S4 has many hidden sensors and is merely 8mm thin, opting for a polycarbonate casing this time.

It also has a camera key and its screen is a 5 inch Super AMOLED FHD+ display with a 1080p resolution. It runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with the TouchWiz Nature UX 2 on top and S Voice and Google Now got combined into a single innovative feature. There's also 2 GB of RAM, a 3500 mAh battery, 32/64 GB of storage, a microSD card slot and a quad core Exynos 5450 2.5 GHz processor. The handset certainly feels like an innovation but considering the Galaxy S III already sold 30 million units, this device has huge shoes to fill…

Sony Xperia Angler is a Quad Core 4.7 inch Smartphone With Aluminum Body

Created by Kittisak Mangmee, the Sony Xperia Angler concept bears the name of the Angler fish and adopts an elongated rectangular design, that's pretty popular nowadays. From its bottom and top profile, the device is shaped like a hexagon, apparently. I can't really figure out the reason for the extra long side buttons, aside from the volume ones…

Xperia Angler features a 2 GHz quad core processor, 64 GB of internal storage, 2 GB of RAM and a 4.7 inch Reality Display with the new Mobile X Reality engine. It also has Sony White Magic technology, Dragontrail Glass and a black pearl aluminum body. The designer says that he was inspired by the shape of a crystal and the deep sea fish, that you can see depicted under the name of the smartphone.

No mention of the camera, but I supposed we may be dealing with a sensor between 8 and 15 megapixels. I have to say that Sony hasn't quite release such elongated handsets lately, since they always keep the length well proportioned compared to the width. So, do you fancy this Sony concept phone? Or do you prefer the current Xperias?

Xbox Surface Tablet Rendered, Features 7.5 Inch Display, Quad Core CPU

There's a big fuss about gaming tablets lately, with Archos making one, the Wikipad getting delayed and other models being proposed on Kickstarter. Now Shaik Imaduddin, the creator of the Xperia Vita gaming phone shows us his vision of a Microsoft Xbox Tablet with a Surface twist to it. Meet the Xbox Surface:

The Xbox Surface Tablet packs a 7.5 inch 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution display, a quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and a custom GPU that offers you the power of a gaming laptop. Other specs include 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal memory, a back 5 megapixel camera and front 2 megapixel camera. If this was a real Xbox tablet, it would definitely have a Kinect integrated, or something like it. It would also use SmartGlass to connect to Windows 8 PCs, Windows Phone 8 devices, Windows RT tablets and the Xbox 360 console.

The main idea of the design Shaik Imaduddin created is that we're dealing with the basic Surface Tablet, but one that now incorporates gaming controls on the side. Thus, on the right side we have the D Pad and analog stick, while on the left there's the other analog stick and the action buttons taken from the Xbox 360 controller. This week potential information about the Xbox 720 console leaked and it included a tablet, that somehow is related to a core unit, like the Wii U somehow… Do you think it will happen? Or is this version of Xbox 720 in "Surface mode" more likely?

Ilumix35X, a Hybrid Phone Concept Made by Combining iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920, Galaxy S3, HTC One X

Tung Nguyen sent me an email showing a very interesting phone concept called Ilumis35X. It's basically a combo between the top notch smartphones of the year, ranging from the iPhone 5 to the Nokia Lumia 920, HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3. The curved glass of the Lumia 920 and its OS, Windows Phone 8 were used, as well as the trademark color.

The buttons, the SIM Tray and connector, plus the audio jack position are all iPhone 5. The size, rounded corners and back cover are taken from the Samsung Galaxy S3, while the camera and Beats Audio technology are borrowed from the HTC One X. The handset comes with a Snapdragon 4 1.4 GHz processor quad core chipset, Adreno 225 GPU, a 4.5 inch IPS LCD display and 1 GB of RAM. The device measures 9.5 mm in thickness and at the back there's an 8 megapixel camera, while upfront we find a 1.9 megapixel shooter.

It's interesting to notice that instead of microUSB we get a Lightning connector. I have to say that we could add one more smartphone into the mix, maybe the Galaxy Nexus or LG Nexus 4, since this concept reminds me of them a bit… Maybe the software platforms can also be combined into a single OS, so for example we can run iOS and Windows Phone through separate apps in Android maybe? Anyway, this phone is certainly a hot looking one and I find it truly appealing.

Nokia Zero Concept Brings Pureview Technology in Phase 3

Bob Freking brings us a brand new Nokia concept called Nokia Zero, one focused on a very evolved camera. It's still Pureview technology, but it has reached phase 3, according to Bob Freking. The handset has a huge sensor at the back, that's truly highlighted and set apart from the rest of the case.

The camera uses a 41 megapixel sensor with Carl Zeiss lens and oversampling technology. It provides lossless zoom and optical image stabilization, plus it helps achieve stunning low light photography. Upfront we've got the classic 3 Windows Phone buttons and I can imagine that this model runs Windows Phone 8 or maybe even WP 8.5. There's also a big speaker at the back and also a big flash, maybe a Xenon one or maybe better. In order to fully process the high res pictures made with Nokia Zero, the device would get a quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, I guess…

I can also envision this model as having 2 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, a 4.5 inch 1280 x 768 pixel display and some innovative augmented reality apps and camera apps. Since the photo taking is so evolved, photo editing would also evolve to new heights and maybe we'll see a Metro UI version of Photoshop Lite. Anyway, Nokia Zero makes a lot of sense for the future, maybe for 2013, so good job Bob Freking!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Survey by Bob Freking: You Suggest, He Creates! (Video)

I'm sure you've seen Bob Freking's concepts on our website, so he's always open for novelty and this time he has taken on the Samsung Galaxy S4. Instead of creating a concept that looks like dozens of other mockups, Bob wants you to suggest a design and specs. That's why he created the video below, that has already started to get some interesting responses and suggestions.

People seem to believe that Samsung Galaxy S4 will have a 5 inch screen with virtual buttons and most likely Full HD resolution. Polycarbonate for the case is also included, as well as a 2.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad core CPU, although the logical choice would be a next gen ARM Cortex A15 dual core processor, maybe a new kind of Exynos with a revolutionary Mali T6xx GPU. Android 4.2 or maybe even Key Lime Pie may be the OS and keep in mind that these are only my predictions and suggestions, while the end result may be different.

A big 3000 mAh battery would be welcome, but seeing what the iPhone 5 can do with a 1440 mAh battery I'm truly stunned and would like to be impressed by its battery life not capacity… not necessarily. A jump to a 10 or 12 megapixel camera would also be welcome and I'd particularly like a better autofocus then on the Galaxy S III… And all of that put into a beautiful Samsung Galaxy S4 concept, a la Bob Freking! The comments section below awaits your suggestions, as well as the Facebook page!

Nokia Lumia Portable Video Projector is Actually a Good Idea

Edgar Mkrtchyan usually sends us 3D renders of new Nokia phones, but now he imagined a very interesting accessory: a Nokia Lumia projector. The sketch is shown in much detail below and the designer will also come up with a 3D render later on. This is a portable video projector, one for Lumia handsets, a segment of accessories that never really took off till now.

The projector shows everything you see on the handset's screen on a big wall, which can be a good thing for conferences for example. Imagine integrating the Microsoft Office experience with this and sharing PowerPoint presentations synced from your Windows RT tablet to your Lumia for example. How cool is that? Also, watching a movie on the "big screen" becomes easier, even if you're stranded in the mountains. Multimedia content is transmitted via NFC and the device fits in as if it were a "bed".

There's also a big speaker on the side of the projector and the device apparently uses Carl Zeiss technology. The portable video projector has a 3.5 mm jack, 2 ventilation grids, 2 loudspeakers, a micro USB port for charging and a 3000 mAh battery. The 3.5 mm audio jack is used to settle the phone into the cradle. The cool thing is that you can also power the phone with the projector thanks to induction charging. With the 3000 mAh battery you can watch over 8 hours of video. Price this product anywhere around $100 and you've got a hit!

Also, the design looks great and the device is highly portable. Notice the slope it has when placed on the table and directed upwards, very good idea!
