Some of you might remember
Cyrene Quiamco as the designer of some very hot concepts we’ve seen a while ago and now shes’s back, with the Aeolus handset, pictured below. This eco-friendly cellphone gets its energy from wind and solar power, charging its onboard battery.
The phone allows the user to charge the device as he goes and we learn that it integrates a power-generating fan, that uses the slightest breeze to generate electricity. This green device will get quite a boost from being attached to a bike or car, as it speeds up and charges the phone.
The Aeolus phone is made out of renewable materials and it comes with a single color display, an energy efficient LCD.

Described by its maker,
Terrillo Walls as the “perfect multimedia phone”, the Jaybird handset is a concept packing an 8 megapixel camera. The latter comes with Xeon Flash, 720p video recording and we learn that the phone also includes a speaker and solar panels, for charging purposes.
This eco-friendly phone incorporates a huge speaker for music listening purposes, a front 3.2 megapixel camera for video calls and a 3.2 inch touchscreen display, with a 900 x 600 pixel resolution.
The display is a Super AMOLED and among Jaybird’s specs we must also mention a full SD card slot, HDMI output and a camera button.

Wearable phones are nothing new, but when this sort of design meets eco-friendliness, something interesting is bound to be created. Mexican designer Veronica Eugenia Rodriguez Ortiz created the Yuxa
wearable cellphone concept, that can be worn around the user’s wrist, just like a bracelet or a watch.
The device vibrates to let you know about calls, it supports Bluetooth and it’s made from ecological materials, like plant fibers and biodegradable plastic. This is an eco-friendly phone featuring an OLED display and rechargeable battery, plus an innovative means of communications: sending vibrations to other users.
This is almost like poking someone on Facebook, only it’s done in real life…

Nokia’s more busy with real handsets these days, than with concepts, but we’re glad to have stumbled upon such a design, created by Matteo Trisolini. He made the EC509 Green Core phone for
Nokia, as an eco-friendly device, that comes with a PRT packaging carton, that can be re-used in order to send back the handset to its manufacturer for service.
Nokia EC509 relies on kinetic energy for powering it up and, as you can see, it features a hole, used to spin and charge the phone, without even requiring a battery. This is a sustainable mobile phone, also featuring a recycled PET display cover, LED battery indicators and rubberised areas.

Designer
Aaron Martinez created both this great
LG concept phone for the Design the Future Competition and the one pictured below. This new device is the LG Eco Solar Power Cellphone, that charges thanks to incandescent and fluorescent lights, plus direct and indirect sunlight, relying on a photovoltaic cell.
As far as the handset is concerned, it comes with Windows Mobile on board (we don’t know what flavour), a brilliant display with advanced touchscreen technology, LED backlight technology, an LED illuminated magnifier, Microsoft Silverlight browser and a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. At the back you’ll find an 8 megapixel camera with support for 1080p video capture.
The magnifier mechanism is pretty interesting and it’s detailed in the picture below, as it includes a 5 inch round lighted unit, with support for 10x magnification and +3.00 diopters. The camera on this LG concept supports 200x digital zoom, progressive, it comes with an image stabilizer (optical) and max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. This is probably the best LG phone design I’ve seen over the past years… What do you say?
[Thanks Aaron Martinez]

Terrillo Walls shows us his first designs over here and now he’s back, with the CiSi concept phone, running Android 2.1 and featuring a 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen display. This handset is eco-friendly and uses a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, WiFi (Sprint 4G) and a 7 megapixel camera.
There’s also an analog pad on board, a pop-up key text and a volume rocker. The touchscreen’s resolution is 800 x 480 pixels and the phone also uses an advanced slide power lock. As far as the design is concerned, the CiSi Phone uses a wooden finish, 4 main keys that are back-lit and a custom interface for Android OS, called Grave UI.
The Android handset also packs a 3.5mm audio jack and a joystick-like analog stick for navigation purposes. A pretty interesting device… with a very thin case, I have to say.

Terrillo Walls is a new name on our site and the designer has recently shown us one of his works, the LG Leaf concept phone. This is an
eco-friendly handset, that packs a front facing camera, a volume rocker and solar panels that power it up.
There’s also a great camera at the back and the entire case of the LG Leaf is made out of reused plastic, in order to keep the device environmentally friendly. We suppose that the handset uses a touchscreen display, considering the design and we really like the reduced thickness of the Leaf phone.

Esato board member Remort1 decided that he didn’t like the Sony Ericsson Aspen
eco-friendly phone, so he made his very own version of the device. You can check it out in the following images and you should know that the real handset was announced in February and it’s coming in Q2 2010.
While the original SE Aspen was more business-like and maybe a bit inspired from the Nokia E Series design, this is a more elegant version, created by Remort1. We’re guessing that there’s a keyboard under the facade of the phone, maybe even a QWERTY one, unless the touchscreen and virtual keypad do the trick.
Also the original TFT resistive display with a 2.4 inch diagonal of the real Aspen might have been switched with a 3.5 inch (or so) capacitive touchscreen. Which version of the Aspen do you like more?

Esato board member Remort1 recently designed a
Sony Ericsson concept called the H1, a smartphone that’s part of the GreenHeart series. This makes the device eco-friendly, but still we’re more impressed by its specs than its ability to protect Mother Earth.
Sony Ericsson H1 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8650A CPU, 1152MB RAM, 16GB of internal memory and a 3.9 inch HD display. At the back of the handset you’ll find a 10 megapixel camera, while the UI on board is Sony Ericsson Presence. The memory can be expanded with cards of up to 128GB.
More concepts made by Remort1 can be found on this blog.

Esato board user Remort1 recently published a teaser image for his next work, the first (we think)
Sony Ericsson eco-friendly concept phone, from the GreenHeart series. The image doesn’t tell much, except for the fact that the device will sport a huge display and protect Mother Nature.
What name you give such a device considering that SE’s latest green device is called Aspen?
