Check out this amazing selection of conept phones and tell us which one you’d like…

A.

1. Asus Aura Phone Concept

This is Aura concept phone designed by Egy Studio for Asus. Some people said the phone is inspire by the Apple iPhone, may be. Apple iPhone is really attractive and i like it but actually those technology used by iPhone are not new. For example, the so called Accelerometer sensor, you can find similar feature in Sharp’s 911SH.

The Asus Aura concept does more then iPhone. It supports 3G, EDGE, HSDPA and WiFi. It has a 3.9-inch touchscreen, a 2Megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, a microSD slot, miniUSB. THere is also a sliding QWERTY keyboard. The Aura is as thin as 6mm.

2. Bamboo Green Concept Phone

The Bamboo phone is the newest innovation in biodegradable products. One the battery, antenna, and print board are taken off, the remains can then be placed in compos and they will begin to disintegrate in only a few weeks! That is not all… there are actually bamboo seeds within the case that, once release by the disintegrating case, will start to grow and feed on the case. The Bamboo phone literally becomes bamboo in a few months.

The Bamboo phone is made out of two materials: the bio-plastic made of materials such as corn, and the bamboo, an endlessly renewable resource. As bamboo is harvested, there is no need to replant. Each time a shoot of bamboo is cut, a new shoot grows in its place.

3. Basic Tab cell phone Concept

The Basic Tab mobile phone design manages to achieve a new interpretation of the whole “iPhone thing”, copied over and over again by big handset manufacturers. Its designer, Jaren Goh focused more on looks, than on futuristic specs and he did a splendid job, so we might as well call this a fashion device.

4. BenQ Snake Phone Concept

 

The BenQ Siemens concept phone, known as “Snake”, at least unofficially. Notice the presence of media playback buttons, the usual answer/reject call keys and even a tiny display, perhaps for showing the time and missed calls.

The shape of the device is very interesting, although the handset seems rather fragile and from what I can see, its speakers are on the inside section. What do you say? Viable or dreamy?

5. BenQ Black Box Concept

 

It is one of the BenQ Siemens™ concept phone, the Black Box, uses a touch screen as its keypad. The touch screen changes the control layout immediately which depends on the functions you are using. What an interesting concept phone it is!

6. Bracelet Phone With Built-In MP3 Player

 

Designed by Tao Ma, the B-Mobile concept phone features keypad on its metal body, one part of the node that can be separated to answer incoming phone call, a built in memory, and an earphone jack to let you use the phone as a music player.

7. BYB Balance Cell Phone By Bence Bogar

BYB Balance cellphone concept is made for specific kind of people who doesn’t mind spending more-than-needed amount of money for the latest thing in tech. It has two touchscreens and a unique slider mechanism that protects them when closed. Other specs include a 5.1 MP camera, 2x optical zoom, HSDPA support, WLAN, Bluetooth, and a GPS. Plus, there’s 512 MB of internal memory, further expandable with microSD cards.

Except for the 2x optical zoom for which I don’t see much space on the image above, everything else seems reasonable. And yes, this slider mechanism would cost fortune to make.

8. Camcorder Phone Concept

Yoshie Takagi, an employee at Japanese electronics giant NEC, displays the prototype model of a multimedia mobile phone, equipped with a high-spec video camcorder and editing device to transmit video images to a Web site or blog through the Internet, during the Wireless Japan exhibition in Tokyo.

9. Concept Pen Phone

Here is the cool Pen Phone concept. The phone is integrated nicely with a pen. It has a monochrome LCD screen to display all the necessary information. Users will have to connect the phone via Bluetooth headset.

10. CUin5 Concept Phone

Phone that give you six ways of experience. How about a handset in which every face carries a keypad, microphone, and speaker? Imagine grabbing it quickly – from inside your bag, from off a shelf, from under a car seat – and freely interacting with it without needing to turn it over or align it right side up? This was the line of thinking that over several years led me finally to conceive of CUin5. Whichever surface you touch first becomes active and aglow, while the others lock in place. Talk from a wide surface. Talk from the edge. See beyond its limitations and read the poetry between the lines.

11. Dark Label Retroxis Phone

As far as mobile phones are concerned, there are certain inevitable desires such as dimensions, weight and style. Retroxis reflects a retro approach towards design with clean aesthetics, optimum controls and functions. It is encased in high polished polycarbonate renowned for its lightweght and toughness and the invisible OLED display silently hides away when inactive to make your phone look clean and stylish.

12. DuoPhone Concept

This Duophone handset concept designed by Daewoo Kim has a perfect relationship, sorta like Bobby and Whitney before the opiate abuse. Its also more then meets the eye, at first glance it appears to be a regular concept we’ve see on NWS before, but no it really compliments itself, you put them together and boom, their LCD size has doubled, if the other’s battery power is low you hook em up and guess what? I charges up its significant other’s battery. It even looks like their Ying and Yang in perfect harmony when they’re in the cradle, its a beautiful thing.

E.

13. Edge Concept Cell Phone

Great innovation from Chris Owens for fashion design oriented people. Edge concept phone is dedicated its style to fashionitas, look at how the glass keyboard sliding out when you want to answer an incoming call, when this black beauty in stand by mode, you won’t see any keyboard, just a sleek? pocket phone. Stylist and futuristic.

14. Egg Concept Phone

The Egg Phone has a neat touch to it, that makes it look like a futuristic device. Its features are pretty realistic, for a manufacturer that would take up the project: Bluetooth, USB, WiFi, a 3.2 megapixel camera and 4 GB internal memory.

Roman Tubl is the designer of the phone, that is surrounded by a red luminous strip. In case you’re wondering where the shine of the device comes from, I guess it must be the flexi true colour display, a touchscreen with tactile feedback.

F.

15. FuChat Cordless Phone

The FuChat cordless phone concept will cater to both landlines and Internet calls, and is smart enough to help the user increase their emotional self-awareness thanks to sensors that detect changes in one’s voice tone as well as the body temperature.

G.

16. Glass Concept Cell Phone

Cell phone Material’s development is already a wide variety, and there are stainless steel, engineering plastics are also a number of environment-friendly materials, but you have not seen the glass to create this phone?

17. Google Vision Concept

Google is surely a dominant factor in our internet usage. But how about Googlin’ each and every object you see on the road? A conceptual gadget made by UK designer Callum Peden is called as Google Vision. The device consists of a retractable LCD screen, integrated GPS and camera. It works by capturing the image of the object with the help of camera and GPS to locate the place. It is then compared with the indexed database objects and the details can be seen on the LCD screen.

18. Graphite Concept Phone

The Graphite has the DVB-H technology integrated, so you can watch live digital TV on the move. We’re talking about a 4-way slider running on Symbian S60 user interface. You must have already noticed the superb 3.6 inch AMOLED touchscreen display. The TV phone concept features an active mechanical keypad that appears on pressing the screen and a spring loaded cover that guards the battery, memory card and SIM card. also it has 2.5 megapixel camera with autofocus and Xenon flash, 3 dedicated camera shutter/stereo speakers, 4 USB ports and 5 dedicated 3.5 mm audio ports. In addition, there are also a 0.6 MP video camera and an on / off translucent button.

This health conscious phone enables users to track their health through nutrition and fitness. Other users of this phone with similar goals (lose weight or run a 5k) networks together to motivate, and hold the others accountable for their workout sessions. The phone is equipped with eNose technology in order to “smell” and recognize foods eaten by their unique chemical signature. It tracks intake wherever you go, and will periodically analyze info to let you know what food groups you are missing.

20. LG Synthesis Concept

The LG Synthesis concept you see here from 16-year old designer Andrew Seunghyun Kim dances to the touchscreen smartphone tune of today, featuring a hole that functions as a physical viewfinder although other people might actually use it to hook it up to a keychain or something. It will be solar powered, of course, to keep in line with the overall green theme. While this won’t see the light of day anytime soon, for a 16-year old to conjure this? Our hats off to Andrew.

M.

21. Mac Concept Phone

The device looks gorgeous, as promising as it could never be in reality. But let’s continue the dream. The concept phone is white, where it got the Mac name as well, even though it has nothing to do with Apple.

Touchscreen is the ultimate solution for everything, seem to consider handset developers lately, as this concept expands the touch sensitivity borders of the Mac phone to the limit, almost erasing all borders.

N.

22. NamFleG concept Phone

This gorgeous concept phone designed by Marat Kudryavtsev and bearing the name of NamFleG. It’s a luxury handset, with a sexy curve at the back and gold highlights. It’s the keys that I don’t like that much, while the edges that surround the display aren’t at all a nice design option.

23. Nano Phone Concept

Check out this concept cell phone that incorporates the latest and greatest of modern technologies. The entire face surface is constructed from a color sensor display. While the standard position of the phone is vertical, it can be turned horizontally when you want to watch video. Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity allows synchronization with your PC, while the fuel-cell based battery ensures adequate talk time before running out of juice. You just recharge the battery by placing it in a special wireless pad.

24. NEC Tag Concept Phone

The NEC Tag is a flexible phone concept that can be , for example, hung from a belt or wrapped around the user’s arm. Somehow similar to the Snaked concept, But Interesting is that the phone has shape-memorizing material and sensors that allows the phone to change its shape according to the mode.

25. Need Concept Phone

We usually show you sci-fi concepts or crazy designs, but the “Need” concept you can see above goes on the minimalistic side and doesn’t come with uber features. It’s designed with communication in mind so there’s no trace of a camera, or media player or anything else.

The Need phone features 2 screens, an OLED and a touchscreen and it’s so basic that it allows you to see the battery after sliding its lock down.

26. Nokia 888 Communicator

Nokia 888 communicator, a concept design that won Nokia’s Benelux design contest. The bracelet-like 888 is envisioned to use a liquid battery, feature speech recognition, a flexible touch screen, and a touch sensitive body cover. A video showing off the device’s potential features shows off close to a dozen functions, including an alarm clock, PDA, GPS, phone, push email receiver, digital wallet and, of course, jewelry. And, other than the “liquid battery,” we can actually see this in the not-too-distant future. Just give us some full-color E-ink, flexible OLED displays and inkjet-printed circuit boards, and we’re almost there.

27. Nokia 9900 Pen Phone

Nokia 9900 pen phone concept really makes us wonder what life would be like if this thing ever came to life. New Nokia 9900 pen phone functions like a normal writing device with the button on top of the device that is used to control the phone.

28. Nokia Aeon

Nokia Aeon is based on 2 touch sensative screens fastened together by fuel cell battery. Nokia is keen to have phones like this hit the market and also have them wearable.

29. Nokia BMW Concept

The Nokia BMW Video Phone concept with the brand name of BMW attached to the concept, you can expect nothing but the best without compromising on its looks and styling cues. Of course, the price is going to be stratospheric as well, placing it well out of reach from the working class. Best of all is, this concept handset features a “push to open” mechanism that enables the owner to rotate the cellphone 90 degrees to activate the camcorder function. Other features include GPS navigation to help you get around. Hopefully there will be little or no high maintenance costs that BMW vehicles are famous for.

30. Nokia Cellphone Concept with Shape-Shifting Screen

Nokia ShapeShift comes with a preset form made out of 2 plastic layers, that’ll replace the standard pixel-based screen. One of these layers is a flexible one, while the second is a hard material and between the two there’s some sort of special liquid. This will have the same refraction as the layers.

Moving the liquid around between the layers creates button shapes on the surface of the display, allowing the user to interact with the handset. The cellphone measures 11 x 5,5 x 1,2 cm and weighs 125 grams, while the display is a 4 inch unit.

31. Nokia E97 Envelope

Nokia E97 Envelope is a cool concept cell phone design by Fabien Nauroy, and takes its design inspiration from an envelope, with OLED keys that can change to either a numeric keypad or full QWERTY.

Nokia E97 Envelope has two displays, a basic screen can display numbers and caller ID, and the other pull-out wide OLED screen that can be used as a storage device and can create and share files or pictures.

32. Nokia Kimmu Snap Fold Phone Concept

The Nokia Scentsory (a concept phone designed by Kimberly Hu) allows users to communicate remotely on additional sensory levels. In addition to including basic audio visual features, it can detect, transmit and emit smells. It can also radiate colors, lighting, and temperature from the caller’s environment. In addition, the Scentsory will have wellness aromatherapy and owner scent identification features.

33. Nokia Morph Concept

In exploration of the possibilities of nanotechnology in mobile devices, the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge (Nanoscience Centre) came up with Morph. This concept demonstrates how mobile devices of the future may be able to flex, stretch, self-clean, utilize solar power, and achieve extreme transparency thanks to advances in the application of nanotech.

The Nokia Morph concept was launched in conjunction with MoMA’s Design and the Elastic Mind exhibit and is currently on view until May 12, 2008.

34. Nokia Open Concept Phone

The “Nokia Open” is/would be a cell phone that opens like a fan with a “scrollable touch screen”, by designer Hugo Danti.

This was the 1st prize project done for NOKIA 4G mobile concept competition. It incorporates a scrowlable lcd screen, with touchscreen technology and allows to adjust the space on screen to each function you whant to use like video conference and internet navigation at the same time. One main button controls the primary functions. All others are acessible on the screen.

35. Nokia Remade

The ‘Remade’ mobile is made from upcycled materials like aluminum cans, plastic drink bottles and old car tires. Inside the sleek “nothing new” casing are more environmentally sensitive technologies like printed electronics (which reduce waste and CO2 emissions during manufacturing) and a backlit display which saves energy and increases the life of the battery.

As ‘Remade’ tails on Nokia’s recent launch of the eco-friendlier 3310 Evolve and other recent green moves including a cell phone recycling initiative in New York, we can’t help but keep highlighting the company’s focus on sustainability and look forward to what greener gadgets pop up from them in the future.

36. Nokia Tube Concept

Nokia Tube concept was showcased at the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference in Redwood City. The company added that Tube would support Java unlike the iPhone which lacks support for it and Flash. But Nokia has still not published more about this concept.but we can expect good competition with Nokia and other major mobile companies.However the final result is everything is getting better, we hope so.

37. O2-Cocoon Concept

“Cocoon” is nice concept phone from O2. This stylish and beatiful handset offers an integrated 2 megapixel camera module with flash and AF plus, Bluetooth connectivity with A2DP support, a 2GB onboard memory with microSD card slot for external storage, and a dedicated music control on the front panel. Talking about the panel, you can also find a LED light that displays the time and caller ID. I supposed it’ll display the current status of the phone as well, such as incoming call / text message / email. Moreover, Cocoon runs on GSM/GPRS/3G network and features a FM radio alarm clock, a 3.5mm socket, and the ability to download DRM-Free AAC iTunes Plus.

38. Onyx Concept Phone

This concept phone is intelligent and has a Clear Pad format which means it will recognize taps and shapes plus points and even complex gestures which enables with either the finger and or cheek, “The Cheek” that is what you are thinking am I right? Well let me explain, “a phone call comes in you need to answer it right? So all you need to do is instead of using your finger to answer just lift the phone and put it to your ear and your cheek will answer the call.

39. Optimus Keyboard Concept Phone

The idea was partly inspired by the Optimus keyboard concept. So, I called it Optimus keyboard concept phone Although the design intent, platform and implementation would be very different the idea of dynamic keys is fairly powerful regardless of the platform.

P.

40. Pen Knife Phone

The 3.14″ phone has basically 5 buttons, 4 to dial and one to answer. The 4 buttons with numbers allow you to dial by sliding them to the left, pushing on the center, or sliding to the right on each button to get the corresponding numbers. The top button that looks like it doubles as the speaker is used to answer. Push it once and the transparent display pops out to make a call, or to check caller ID. When receiving calls you push it again to answer. When you are done you simply close the straight-edge to hang up.

41. Piccolo Concept Phone

Cell phone designers are trying to design models to attract the women users who need something different and fashionable. After working with feminine colors such as pink, now, it is the turn for the feminine curve to make its way into the cell phone world. Daniel Mota Veiga has designed this female figure inspired model for Motorola. The Piccolo Concept 1 is still in the concept stage and Motorola needs to work on this unique design to make it a reality. After all, it is for its own sake that Motorola must develop innovative models and this might be an instant hit among women and men struck by the feminine shape.

42. Ply Phone or Swiss Army knife of Phones

The Ply phone concept packs so many gadgets inside of it’s woodexterior, you expect to see the Swiss Army logo on it. Like it’s namesake plywood, it has layers and in each layer there resides a gadget, like a phone, game controller, photo printer, projector and more. Designer Hideo Kanbara is obviously a big fan of all-in-one. A prototype actually exists and can be seen at the KDDI Studio in Harajuku. When in Tokyo check it out. I think most of us would love to see something like this become a reality and this is probably what future phones will be like.

43. Poleroid Concept Phone

The phone is labeled HS-RSS, and seems quite small for being a mini photo printer, much less the added camera phoning and media playing the device is supposedly capable of.

Most likely the photo on the left shows a concept camera phone. Not much is known about this mobile phone besides that is has an integrated photo printer.

44. PVOT Concept Cell Phone

The Motorola PVOT is a hand crank phone that offers one minute of usage after a sweat-inducing 25 cranks. Talk about working for your airtime! The hand crank charges the single AA rechargeable battery inside, and the PVOT comes with a 125 x 125 dot matrix LCD and an “Eraser Shield” keypad. It is still unknown whether this concept will make it into production, but should that happen, it will be a boon to developing third world countries in bridging the communications gap.

S.

45. Samsung BRIX Concept

The Samsung Brix is indeed an impressive concept phone that is presented by the Samsung Art and Design Institute. It is a modular that comes with a full touch screen display whereby users are allowed to add additional brick modules to its original platform. This is useful especially, say for example, when the user finds the screen too small to enjoy a good movie therefore adds more bricks to have a bigger display.

Although the Samsung Brix is merely a concept phone by an outsider designer team, in fact, Samsung has been exploring similar ideas to make such a concept phone come to life.

46. Sens Inclusive Mobile Phone Concept

Created by designer Takumi Yoshida, the Sens Inclusive Mobile phone concept offers users real-time audio feedback to help visually-impaired people better interact with their phones. Specially shaped keys are all uniquely accessible making them more identifiable by touch. Since many visually impaired people have at least some ability to recognize light density or colors, the phone concept does away with text and uses color illumination to inform users of basic phone status. By creating a cellphone that can be easily used by people with visual handicaps, the designer opens up a whole new level of possibilities for creating specialized communication devices that can cater to people with special abilities and we sincerely hope Yoshida’s concept will soon be picked up by mainstream cellphone manufacturers as well.

47. SKY Sleek and Slim

Amazing, beautiful, sleek, slim – words that could be used to describe this glowing, mirror-finished concept phone. But, then so are words like impossible, never, keep-dreaming. What we wouldn’t do for this glossy-black fashion phone with that oh-so-desirable minimalist sliding touchpad. The SKY is like that high school cheerleader we all had a crush on – it’s everything we want, but sadly, can never have.

48. SLIQ Eco-Friendly Phone Concept

Designed by Mike Serafin, the Samsung SLIQ is a unique looking handset which offers an advanced touch interface with tactile feedback. The phone comes with an extra wide LCD, a 2MP camera, an integrated video player, a document viewer, MP3 playback, and an integrated memory card slot. Sadly, it is just a phone concept.

49. Sony PSP Concept Phone

It is Sony Ericsson PSP concept phone, the designer tried to put an imaginary 2GB storage, 3.2MP shooter, and radio in this sleek concept phone.

50. S-Series Mobile Phone Concept

The S Series Mobile phone is concept at the moment and looks very sleek. It appears to be made of wood combined with a stylish mobile phone screen and keypad. The keypad is not always needed as all the functions of the phone can be operated with out it, although it is there just incase you prefer that method.

T.

51. Transparent Crystal Cell concept

This concept phone by BloodRabbit which he thought of while driving home from work. This mobile phone comes in a see-through body and a basic LCD display, sharing the same dimensions as a credit card. Although you’re probably scratching your head and wondering how the electronics and other stuff like a battery and camera fits in. we have to go by the assumption that technology in the future will be able to compress electronics to such a size.

52. Triple Watch Phone Concept

The Triple Watch Cell Phone is a wrist watch that can be transformed into a cell phone. You can slide the unit out of the wristwatch band, and with a triple-flip technique, extend it to use it as a normal cell phone. As a wrist watch, it has a speaker phone button that allows the user to answer the phone and hang up while driving. Or the user can combine the Triple Watch with a Bluetooth headset and carry on a wireless conversation that way.

W.

53. Wearable Concept Phone

Watches do just one thing, and you can find them in million of models and prices. Now they are a trendy accessory rather than only an instrument to sign the time. Why not try to do the same with mobile phones? Fashion victims could wear it like a jewel with a special cover and elastic string.A phone to show, not to hide in the bag or pocket……WOW…..that lady looks like she could be Mister Rogers sister.

54. What You See is What You Get Concept
