It’s probably been a year or so since we’ve last heard about a PSP Phone or a concept in these parts, but thanks to Esato board member juris15, the idea gets resurrected. After showing us his cool SE Aino II design, he rebrands it as Aino pro and also creates a Sony Ericsson Aino Playstation concept, shown below (click to enlarge).
The Aino Pro (U10) comes with a full touchscreen display, 720P HD recording, a 3.5mm audio jack, a microUSB connectors and 2 stereo speakers with 3D effect. The Aino Playstation Phone also uses a slide-out section, complete with gaming controls (D-pad, action keys and 2 analog sticks), plus full PSP/PS3 remote play.

How about taking fun on the road? Designer Antoine Brieux created a concept gaming device that’s able to integrate a smartphone and provide some extra functionality for productivity freaks. The device is known as the WOOGA and it gets pictured in the following images.
The portable console WOOGA includes a special space that hosts your phone thanks to a bunch of keeping parts. The handset will communicate wit h this device, perhaps via Bluetooth, but what we know for sure is that this console wannabe can be used in a game configuration, as seen in the images below.
There’s also a more smartphone-like configuration, that makes the device look more like a netbook than a console. WOOGA incorporates stereo speakers, an automatic lock system, a large keyboard and a Li-Ion battery on the netbook side. On the exterior gaming side, you’ll find configurable game buttons, a directional pad, a rubber handgrip and a 3.5mm audio jack.

There were a few Nokia fans who regretted the canning of the N-Gage gaming phone series, but there is still hope for this idea, specially if you believe in concepts. The folks of Recombu created the Nokia Ovi Orion, a gaming phone design, pictured below.
Nokia Ovi Orion looks like a combo between a Palm Pre and an iPhone, with a strange QWERTY keyboard and a hidden one line display at the back. This bizarre design might make gaming more user-friendly, but what’s really important is the front multitouch capacitive touchscreen, with a huge diagonal, hopefully.
We wouldn’t be surprised if a Tegra or Snapdragon CPU was on board too, as well as HDMI out and a decent bunch of speakers. The question is: does Nokia have the software platform for such a device? Here’s a short video demo of the concept gaming phone:

It’s been a while since we last saw a gaming phone on this site, but here’s a brand new design, courtesy of Thomas Broadbent. This gaming phone combines the features of a portable console with the ones of a regular handset. This device comes with a swivel opening mechanism, that allows you to turn the phone into a gaming controller.
The same concept uses a “life light”, showing how much life your opponents have and a microSD card slot for extra memory and storage space for games downloaded from the Internet. There’s also a 3.2 megapixel camera on board, a USB charger/connection port and a full colour screen looking very hot.
We absolutely love the design of this handset and think it can easily rival the new PSP and even the iPhone’s gaming abilities.

Wilson Song created a pretty cool concept phone, Samsung WM, a stylish watch mobile combo, that’s also got the features of a portable console. You can wear the device on your wrist and play games with the aid of its embedded technologies, like motion sensing and a “bend interface”.
Samsung WM comes with a flexible wide display, earphones, a stylus and games that rely on motion capture technology. There’s also a camera on board, at the back side of the device and this phone is cool enough for both women and men to wear on their wrists.

Designers must have been so disappointed with Sony’s PSP Go!, that they decided not to create any more PSP Phone or PSP 2 concepts… Esato board user pavlov’s dog breaks the ice and shows us a very neat concept, a PSP Phone, judging by the presence of the Sony Ericsson branding.
Without the side controls (d pad, analog and action buttons) this concept looks just like the PSP Go!, but the additions are welcome, specially if we consider the mess Sony made with their new console. Am I the only one who doesn’t like the PSP Go!?

Esato board user Sealover94 designed a great PSP Phone concept, a sliding device with unknown features and its maker claims that any input is welcome, so you can suggest new features and design traits, if you want. I spot an 8 megapixel camera at the back, also a front videocall camera and I’m betting that the action buttons are hidden beneath the screen.
One might even suppose that this PSP Phone incorporates a sliding QWERTY keypad, maybe even analog sticks (unlikely) and a touchscreen. Tons of memory on board, of course, Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G hopefully and whatnot… What would like to see on this PSP Phone, spec-wise?

We know that a brand new iPhone is coming this summer, but will it look anything like this leaked shot? Unbelievable as it may seem, this device packs a sliding QWERTY keyboard, a directional pad for games and action buttons placed among the rest of the keys.
I guess the touchscreen will be kept, but most of the gaming will be done with the aid of the physical keyboard. If an analog controller makes it in there too, you can count me as a fan of the new iPhone, however I wonder how such a feature can be implemented with the sliding keypad and all.
Who’ll need a PSP or Nintendo DS if such a handset is launched?

The “iPhone inside a joystick” concept below reminds me of some portable Xbox designs I’ve seen a while back, but this time you’ll be forced to carry a backpack with you, since the controller is kind of big for your pockets.
Notice how the joystick manages to incorporate Apple’s handset, connecting to it, in order to provide the needed input generated by the two analogs, the 4 action buttons, 2 menu buttons and the directional pad.
My only question is: “Does it have shoulder buttons?”

Beatmag from Mobile-Review designed a very promising Nokia gaming phone, that strays away from the N-Gage series and looks more like an Internet tablet. Notice the presence of a touchscreen (3.2 or 3.3 inches, 16:9) on the specs list, plus a QWERTY keypad, action buttons (X, Y) and a directional pad.
What’s the deal with that old-school game on the screen? I guess it’s an emulated title of some sort, since the graphics are so last-gen, but the concept device is pretty promising, although it’s a bit too big for our taste.
