Only days after the official introduction of Android 3.0, we found the very first Android Honeycomb smartphone, dubbed Motorola Bee. This is a mere concept for now, the creation of joyStudios, but it looks believable enough, to be honest. The device is related to Atrix, specially in the design section.
According to its designers, the handset is compatible with a laptop dock and HD multimedia dock. Motorola Bee supports 3G+ connectivity and it uses an 8MP camera capable of full HD video capture. Its display is a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED screen with multitouch, and the specs list of the device ends with 32/64GB of memory and a front 5MP videocall camera.
The screen on the phone supports an incredible 1280 x 720 pixel resolution and you can also bring the content to be big screen via micro HDMI. If we’re not mistaking, joyStudios also customized the Android 3.0 interface to make it fit for a phone. The result is brilliant and we sure hope that Moto and Google are seeing this.

How about a Motorola phone that aside from making and receiving calls is able to check up on your health? Dubbed the Motoworkr, this handset concept was designed by Marco Vanella and it also provides tips for first aid during emergencies.
This is a device meant for people working in health care and medical facilities. Motoworkr integrates a Bluetooth thermometer and tensiometro port and it can even read digital medical cards. The device can transfer patient health records to PCs and other gadgets. Is this more suited than a medical tablet?

We knew that Motorola was readying a dual core smartphone, but what about a design to show off the device? DaQuan Freeman mailed us some pretty interesting sketches, showing a Motorola Android concept phone, with great specifications, available after the break.
This device integrates an AMOLED 4.78 inch capacitive touchscreen display with multitouch, an 8 megapixel camera with Dual LED flash and 720p HD video capture at 30 fps and NVIDIA’s Tegra 250 CPU. Powering the unit is a Dual-Core ARM A9 processor and we learn that the handset’s display is scratch-resistant, plus there’s a front facing camera and stereo speakers incorporated.

Motorola celebrated 25 years of cellphones by having 31 of its designers from all over the world create a couple of futuristic concepts. We first had the chance to look at a couple of Motorola phone designs from 2033 and now there are 6 more models to check out.
Motorola Tender, a model created by a Seoul designer is really fascinating, since it uses technologies that aren’t yet on the market (levitation and holograms). Just like a pet of the year 2033, Tender floats behind the user, looks like a jellyfish and interprets the gestures and voice commands of its owner, triggering communication features.
Moto Origami, created in North America is a concept that’s made out of a thin and segmented sheet of… “technostuff” and can be folded as the user pleases, turning into a camera, phone, recording device and more. Metamorphose is another phone that changes shape, focuses on social media, while Motorola Yangsheng relies on biometric data and Communidad (also called Pixydust) is a device that uses projected images via nano projectors.

Motorola’s not the sharpest tool in the shed right now when it comes to phone design, but their past is surely a glorious one, thanks to models like RAZR or PEBL. Their future also looks promising, if you have a look at the concept phones they’ve shown the world, as the company celebrated 25 years of mobile phones.
31 of Moto’s designers created the handsets of the year 2033, beautiful concepts that are sci-fi or innovative and we’ve divided the 12 designs into 2 articles. Today we’ll handle the first six, having a look at their appearance and functions. Three of the Motorola concept phones (Tattoo, Ring and Exo) are wearable objects, while the Liquid Card handset uses a “floating screen” and the MEM phone looks like a shell.
2nd Sight is also an interesting concept, some sort of “visual prosthetic” that covers your sight with avatars and images/information that gets overlayed on the surrounding environment. Augmented reality at its best? You bet! Tune in next time, for the rest of the 12 concepts designed by Moto’s crew around the world.
Loading ...Motorola wants to enter the Android handset market by announcing no less than 2 phones with this OS on board and already renders of such a device surfaced online. Known as Moto Sholes or Shules, the designs of the Android phones were leaked in Russia and are now available below.
Moto Shule’s specs have also been leaked and it turns out that the handset comes with a 3.7 inch touchscreen display, with a 480 x 854 pixels resolution, a GPS, a 5 megapixel camera and a 1400 mAh Li-ion battery.
There’s also a 16GB memory on board, 256MB RAM, a microSD/microSDHC card slot, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR1 and a 3.5mm audio jack. Wi-Fi completes the impressive list and you should expect the device to hit Verizon soon, probably looking as good as the renders below.

Yes, you should take the info with a huge grain of salt, but it seems that Kelly Bremer’s Motorola Nest Phone concept has become real… or it got cloned by some Chinese manufacturer. The images at the end of the article look pretty real to me, which may be an indication of the fact that Moto might have leaked them after all…
Apparently, the real device lost some elements from the original concept, like the OLED screen, or the Makroblend plastic body. We can see that the handset’s back screen looks like the one on the first design, but we haven’t figured out if we’re dealing with a mirror finish display or reflective plastic.
My gut feeling tells me that this is knockoff or Asian clone of the concept. Does it look real to you?

Samsung has already launched the Beat DJ phone, allowing its users to mix music, so there’s a pretty decent public segment out there made out of people who want to create and mix music on the go. Such folks would be tempted to use the fresh Motorola KRE8 concept phone, created by designer Jose Tomas DeLuna.
KRE8 is able to split into 2 segments and it packs accelerometers and sensors, that detect the user’s gestures and turn them into commands. The device operates in 3 modes: Instrument Mode (guitar, violin, drums), Mix Mode and Record Mode, each of them based on your gestures.
The resulting output can be recorded as MIDI Signal and shared via 3G connectivity, also allowing other people to jam with you. Motorola KRE8 features a glass touchscreen, music editing apps, tagging audio content via GPS and musical social networking. There’s also a great video below, showing the device in action.
Loading ...Motorola Nest is the latest concept phone we’ve come across, designed by Kelly Bremer and meant to allow the users to stay in touch with their loved ones. The handset uses a virtual scrapbook, in order to make people interact via a social network, the Motorola “nest network”.
For me, this concept phone looks like a “mirror, mirror on the wall”, that seems quite difficult to handle and get a grip of. Of course, it packs a touchscreen, a camera at the back and probably an intuitive interface.

It took 3 designers to come up with a beauty like this! Motorola Digital Butler is the ideal tool, if you’re a famous socialite, who can’t tell from a day at “work” and a party filled with celebrities. The device is your unique tools for keeping in contact with friends, planning your entire life and ordering everything, from plane tickets to lunch.
The Motorola Digital Butler concept was created by Matthew Spencer, Adam Heslop and Simon Drewery and the device works on 4G networks, packs GPS and features a circular touchscreen interface. There’s also an accelerometer on board and this device is a PDA phone among many others. Believe it or not, the Motorola gizmo even packs a full resolution multimedia LED projector…
Social networking is a default feature of the device, one that connects the user with his/her classy friends, while they getting ready to tear down the clubs in Beverly Hills… Dreamy life, dreamy gadget, right?
