Hasan Kaymak, the guy behind the
HTC Concepts idea created a Facebook for Android app design, that’s fresh an innovative. We have some shots of the fresh UI pictured below and as usual feedback is welcome. The interface is very clean and its styling reminds me a bit of the Android 4.0 ICS look.
The social stream is basically the same, but the icons at the top, those that show notifications are a bit different. You also get voice control in the app and the main menu is totally different from everything you know till now. There are some tiles involved, much like in Metro UI and on the right side we have the main options of the account (Messages, Notifications, Friend Requests and Settings). This placement on the right reminds me very much of Facebook for PS Vita app and I recommend that the designer checks that out for comparison sake.
Frankly speaking, the Facebook app for the PlayStation Vita is a disappointment, but this app concept seems pretty comfortable to use. Hasan also shows us a brand new widget for this application, obviously on a HTC phone. The focus seems to be Facebook chatting here, with large speech bubbles and minimalistic UI. What do you think about this Facebook app design?

Hasan Kaymak not only imagined some high end phones from HTC lately, but also the social networking-focused HTC ChaChac II model. This should be a Facebook phone, just like its predecessor, but I can’t seem to spot that special social networking blue button.
The device is a dual SIM one, packs a 3.5 inch LCD multitouch display, Beats Audio in ear headphones and an 8 megapixel camera with dual LED flash. There’s also wireless charging on board, NFC, LTE and Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 3.0. Basically, everything becomes supersized from the original HTC ChaCha, including the screen, camera and other specs. I guess there’s also a dual core CPU inside, maybe a cool Snapdragon unit. There should also be a front camera on board and you can see those 3 capacitive buttons under the display, specific to Android 4.0 handsets.
When I first touched the HTC ChaCha, I was very impressed by its physical keyboard, even better than the one on BlackBerry and Nokia E series models. At some point I found out that this keyboard was about 10% bigger than any other input method on touch and type devices.
[Thanks Hasan Kaymak]

The list of concepts made by
Hasan Kaymak continues, this time with a HTC One tablet. Meet the HTC One TE model, a slate that runs Android 5.0 and features a quad core processor. This is a 10.1 inch SLCD2 720p device and the flavor of Android it runs also comes with the future version of HTC Sense UI.
There’s also an 8 megapixel camera on board of this HTC concept tablet and WiFi b/g/n at 60 GHz, Gorilla Glass 2 protection, a micro HDMI port and HTC Sense 4.5. Beats streaming, a bundled in ear headset and iBeats are all included. However, I must inform you that HTC officially announced this week that it will stop bundling Beats headphones with HTC devices, so this model will most likely remain a fantasy, at least on the headset side. It would be time for HTC to launch a new tablet, especially since they disappointed the public at MWC 2012, that also expected a slate, not only the One series of handsets.
The rumored HTC Quattro quad core tablet has been talked about for a while now, but no results have appeared… Will this model turn into reality? It looks pretty nice and its back shows that it’s keeping the already famous One series design legacy.

Remember when HTC had those cool smartphones with smaller displays and big sliding QWERTY keyboards? Well, from Hasan Kaymak, the man that gave us the musical
HTC One XE comes HTC One Z. This HTC concept is focused on the sliding mechanism, QWERTY keyboard and believe it or not, it’s even a dual SIM phone.
HTC One Z supports 3G and 4G LTE+ connectivity and it packs a 4.7 inch SLCD3 1080p display with Gorilla Glass 2 protection. Inside there’s a 1.5 GHz penta core CPU, which might as well be the Tegra 3, that actually has a fifth core in the mix. Or it could be Tegra 4… Anyway, the device also uses 1GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot, plus a micro HDMI port. The only thing I’m worried about here is how bulky and wide this model will end up being…
A 4.7 inch smartphone is already huge and if you add to it a sliding keyboard, things get even beefier. However, that keyboard sure looks comfortable, but having such a big screen means that you also have a big virtual keyboard, so maybe trimming the diagonal to a more reasonable level would be a nice idea. Anyway, I’d take this model any day over all the HTC One X, since I’m a bit of a slider fan myself. What’s your opinion on this piece of work? Anyone else reminds the beautiful Desire Z?

The HTC One series is barely out in some parts of the world and already there are designers dreaming of a follow-up with Android 5.0 Jelly Bean and 1080p screens. Hasan Kaymak, the guy behind
HTC Concepts created the HTC One XE and also promised to make a HTC One TE concept tablet.
HTC One XE measures 8.5mm in thickness, features a 4.7 inch Super LCD2 display with 1080p resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 2. It runs Android 5.0 Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 4.5 and relies on a quad core 1.8 GHz processor, plus ULP GeForce GPU. There’s also HTC ImageSense technology on board, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and a 12.1 megapixel rear camera with autofocus and dual LED flash. A 2 megapixel can be found at the front and we also have a non removable battery, a 2650 mAh unit.
Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, Beats Audio (in ear headset bundled) and a 4 LED notifications on the bottom are also part of the package that makes out the HTC One XE. I am pleased with the design, that keeps up with the current rounded form factor of the HTC One series and that 1080p display sounds good. I expect to see stuff like that in early 2013 or late 2012… as for the HTC tablet, bring it on!
[Thanks Hasan Kaymak]

I’ve just come across the work of
Max Borhof, a designer from Germany who imagined a foldable phone. The thing is that this handset looks very much like a HTC device with an edge to edge display and a great length of the case. Imagine a Galaxy Note rival that’s able to fold and become more compact…
Also imagine that this phone has a thickness of 7.5 mm and an edge to edge 1080p display. These are all speculations, but they certainly fit this interesting idea. The way this device opens up after being folded may remind you of a makeup kit, if you want a comparison. Max Borhof bases his foldable phone concept of the future future technologies involving ultra flexible screens. I guess that the main achievement here is the edge to edge screen that’s also without a hinge in the area where it flexes.
There’s also a very interesting dock area on the screen, part of what looks like the HTC Sense experience of the future. Interesting way to integrated the call and end call virtual keys, although it takes up quite a bit of screen space. Till now I was used with Samsung, Sony and even Nokia to be associated with flexible phones, but now there’s a minor chance that HTC might pick this idea up some day…

Hasan Kaymak is well known on our website for his HTC concepts and now he did something different – an interface design. He created the HTC Sense 4.5 render you can see below, a very beautiful attempt to imagine what the future version of the HTC UI will be like. Right now we’re officially at version 4.0 that complements Android 4.0 and I imagine that version 4.5 will either fit Jelly Bean or an ICS upgrade.
Moving on to the rendered interface, you can see that the ring lock mechanism is still here and we also get a brand new Google Assistant voice companion like Siri. Unless I’m mistaking, this one can even interpret your gestures and face, which is very cool. We can access the voice command from the lock screen and HTC Sense 4.5 integrates folders in the dock area of the screen, a very clean and pretty standard weather widget and a new UI for the socializing feature… or is it the Facebook app?
I can see that there’s also a tile view for applications present on the phone and that the 7 home screens were kept. The experience is very clean and button sliders have been changed to a combo of grey and green, that together with the black background make out the HTC brand identity. What do you think this interface concept needs and what are you most happy about in it? Nice notification area by the way, with the weather and Facebook integration.
[Cheers Hasan Kaymak]

We see top notch phones leaking every day and many concepts of high end devices, but never a smartphone for the ladies. One such device was imagined by Bob Freking and dubbed HTC La Chica. He says that the handset has the equivalent specs of the Samsung Galaxy S II, so it’s a dual core 1.2 GHz phone with a 4+ inch display.
You can see that it’s running Android 4.0, it has a small chin and it has those trademark 3 capacitive buttons below the screen. Its case is coloured mauve, so it’s very ladylike, or is this a share of pink I don’t know? I imagine this model supports a qHD resolution at least, comes with 16GB of storage, 1GB of RAM, HSPA+ and a 5 or 8 megapixel camera with support for autofocus and maybe even 1080p video capture. For those of you who don’t know, there’s already a lady-oriented phone out there, the HTC Rhyme, but that one is a single core affair with underwhelming specs.
Ladies may feel the need for a full fledged smartphone and not only tin devices such as the Xperia Mini series or the Wildfire S, or underpowered units such as the HTC Rhyme. And that’s why people wonder why so many women go with the iPhone 4/4S if they want power… there’s no Android alternative! They could pick up a Galaxy S II, especially the white version, but what about HTC? When will they make a high end feminine phone?
[thanks Bob Freking]

Hasan Kaymak proposes today an interesting HTC concept, one based on the idea of Beats Audio streaming. Meet the HTC Atom, a quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor at 1.5GHz and running Android 5.0 Jelly Bean. As you can see, the designer mentioned that the Tegra 3 is actually a penta core CPU, which is actually correct, since there’s a fifth core used for mundane tasks.
HTC Atom comes with a 4.7 inch Super LCD display with 1080p resolution, NFC, LTE+ and Bluetooth 4.0. At its back we find a 12.1 megapixel camera with 60 fps video capture and dual LED flash. Android 5.0 is the OS of choice, working with HTC Sense 4.5. There’s also wireless charging available and 32GB of internal memory. These specs are not at all far fetched and I expect we’ll see something like this around Christmas time this year. The idea of Beats streaming sounds particularly interesting, so I hope that Hasan will develop it further.
Beats Audio is already the equivalent of audio quality so a streaming service related to it can only be a good thing, right? Feedback in the comments section below!

My wish came true! I posted on the Concept Phones Facebook Page a challenge for designers to try and imagine the way Android 5.0 Jelly Bean will look and already there’s an idea. Hasan Kaymak imagined the HTC Dark concept phone, a quad core phone with the future Android on it. This device relies on a Qualcomm S4 quad core processor at 1.7 GHz.
HTC Dark also uses a full HD display with the LG Nova technology, a 4.7 inch diagonal and Gorilla Glass 2 protection. Sense UI 5.0 is also on board, with some nifty blue-ish hues and a blue LED notification system. We also get Bluetooth 4.0, LTE, WiFi (60Ghz) and wireless charging. Powering this HTC concept there’s a 2500 mAh Li-Ion battery. There’s also a camera at the back which the designer didn’t mention, but I imagine it’s a 12 megapixel or 8 megapixel unit with 1080p capture at 60 fps.
The interface of this Android 5.0 render is particularly clear and clean and the notification area looks very nice. This certainly is not your average Sense UI experience and as you can see, the four capacitive buttons are back, instead of the three in Android 4.0. I wonder if Google will do that, considering they’re preaching the use of 3 buttons instead of 4 now…
