Bob Freking is back with yet another Samsung Galaxy S 3 design, this time one that focuses more on the TouchWiz 5.0 interface and some interesting specs. As you may already know, there’s been a leak out there, of a phone that is supposed to be either the Galaxy S II Plus or the Galaxy S 3. Well, that leak involved a handset with capacitive Android 4.0 buttons and what looks like a new TouchWiz.

The designer used the leak as inspiration and created the Galaxy S 3 Polaris, that features a 1.4 GHZ quad core Exynos processor and a 4.5 inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display. There’s also a 12 megapixel camera at the back with LED flash and video capture resolution higher than 1080p. The device measures 7mm in thickness, according to the latest rumors that appeared on the web oday, although Bob Freking sees this as a 7.1mm smartphone, equal in waistline with the Motorola Droid RAZR.
There’s also 2GB of RAM on board and maybe 16/32/64GB of internal memory. To be honest this render looks very much like the one leaked by Eldar Murtazin here… What do you think was changed?

Remember the strange
Samsung Galaxy S III spotted the other day? It seems to be back, this time with two more pictures, that actually make me think this quad core Exynos handset is actually doable. I’m sure you know by now that Samsung announced it won’t show the new Galaxy S at MWC 2012, so we’re left to wait a couple more months.

Specs also appeared for the handset you see here and they include a 4.6 inch AMOLED Plus 3D screen with a 720p resolution, a 12 megapixel camera, 2 GB of RAM and a flexible body. We could be dealing with a prototype of the Samsung Galaxy S III, one that was abandoned down the road and that 3D part is not convincing if you ask me. Samsung isn’t the kind of company to include 3D technology on a flagship phone and risk delivering crappy battery life and poor tridimensional experiences.
LG and HTC have failed in the 3D mobile world, so could Samsung succeed? Anyway, we have no idea what CPU this newcomer will get, but rumors keep mentioning the Exynos 5250, Exynos 4212 and the Exynos 4412. You take your pick out of those….

Now that the entire web has find out that Samsung will NOT the Galaxy S III smartphone to MWC 2012, it’s time to check out other rumors. I’ve seen my share of
Samsung Galaxy S III concepts and renders, but the picture you see below is quite new to me, so let’s take it as a fresh leak, if you will. I have no idea what this prototype/mockup is, but it looks like something Samsung would do.

It’s curved a bit, hinting at a flexible AMOLED display maybe, although I’m sure we won’t see that on the Samsung Galaxy S III. Rumors have agreed that we’re waiting for a quad core Exynos CPU smartphone, with a 4.6 inch 720p display, a 12 megapixel camera and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as the OS. Other extra features that people seem to like are 2 GB of RAM and a 3D display, but I can’t guarantee we’ll see them on the new flagship from Samsung.
If you have any idea who created the phone in the image above, feel free to give credit where it’s meant and help us figure out what brand this device belongs to. In other news, Samsung promised to launch the Galaxy S3 separately from the MWC event, in a conference that will take place sometime in the first half of 2012. Excited?

We deal with mockups, renders and prototypes here at Concept Phones, not only designs, so after showing you the
Galaxy Tab 11.6 idea from a couple of days ago, now we have a new mockup from the German site TabTech.de. They report that Samsung will introduce this 11.6 inch tablet at MWC 2012 and they give us this mockup for comparison sake, with the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Rumors say we’re dealing with a dual core 2GHz Exynos 5250 tablet, with a 11.6 inch display that supports a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The S Pen stylus is also expected to be supported and bundled here and I’m guessing that we’re going to get a 5 or 8 megapixel camera, 16/32GB of internal memory, LTE, NFC, WiFi, GPS, DLNA and as few ports as possible, keeping with the Samsung tradition of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 8.9.
What I’m worried about is how portable this device will be, considering its diagonal size. If it’s anywhere below 650 grams, it will be OK and it’s less than 9mm thick we’re saved… and I trust Samsung to deliver that. On the previous Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6 concept I’ve shown you some comments said that they’d rather have a big, not so portable device, but all the performance they need. Do you agree?

Shaik Imaduddin recently sent us a brand new
Samsung Galaxy S III concept, one that strays from the usual designs, as you can see in the image below. We’re still dealing with an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich handset, with TouchWiz 5.0 UI on it, but the looks are different than one would expect. This looks like a device that borrows a bit from the design traits of the new Sony Xperia units…

This Galaxy S III features an UI with on-screen buttons for Android 4.0 and a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display, a 12 megapixel camera at the back and 3.2 megapixel camera at the front and the long awaited quad core Exynos processor. You also get 2 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage and I’m really curious what type of battery such a model will have. It should be around 2000 mAh, or even 3000 mAh, if it wants to juice up the handset enough for a day of functioning time.
Also, I can see that there’s an S Note app in there, so this new Galaxy S model might be compatible with the stylus on the Galaxy Note or other similar accessories. Anyway, we’ll see the real deal next month at Mobile World Congress 2012 and compare it to these mockups…

Considering all the rumors I’ve heard recently about a quad core Samsung Galaxy tablet with a 11.6 inch display, Bob Freking’s concept below is very close to reality. He created a device called Samsung Galaxy Tab 11.6, a tablet that’s a direct rival to the iPad 3 and relies on a brand new ARM A15 Exynos processor, the quad core kind with 1GHz frequency.

The Galaxy Tab 11.6 comes with a 5MP rear camera, a front 2MP HD cam, Android Ice Cream Sandwich with TouchWiz UX and a HDMI port, plus card slot. The slate will measure a mere 8mm, so it will be very thin and portable. This Samsung concept tablet is supposed to support a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution and use AMOLED technology for its screen. The resolution rivals with the Retina Display rumored for the new iPad, but I guess we’ll have to wait till MWC 2012 to see the real deal.
Some guys claim that they’ve actually seen this tablet in the backstage at CES 2012, but they weren’t allowed to take photos of it. So, what do you say: would you buy a Galaxy Tab 11.6 or is it too big diagonal-wise?

We’ve shown your our share of renders and mockups of the
Samsung Galaxy S III, but this time we’re dealing a leak of the handset, that’s shown below. This is a frame from an official Samsung presentation at CES 2012, that somehow was missed by people on major blogs last week, when it all went down in Las Vegas. Now everyone is discussing whether or not this is the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Seeing the size of those fingers next to the device, I’m tempted to believe that this is actually the Galaxy Note, or maybe a follow-up to that device. It’s incredible how small the bezels of this gadget are, especially on the sides, but that may be a case of an image being applied on top of an already existing gadget, without taking into account the bezels. The Home button is also pretty classic for the Galaxy series of devices. I have to remind you that rumors say we should expect a quad core Exynos processor on the Galaxy S III and a 4.6 inch Super AMOLED next gen screen.
There should also be a 12 megapixel camera, TouchWiz 5.0, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, LTE, NFC and a powerful battery inside. We’ll see the REAL device at MWC 2012 next month!

Nick Trumbo imagined a Samsung phone that’s based on new OLED screen technologies and the result was the Samsung Flip concept, seen below. This one is a device that’s able to fold and bend and it comes with a wrap around screen, plus a very interesting interface, that looks more modern than any TouchWiz version so far.

The screen is wrapped around the bottom of the phone, where the notification area is placed, in order to get rid of clutter and keep the notification bar off the main screen. The Samsung Flip becomes an entirely different device when you flip it, depending on what your use for it is. Also, the UI changes depending on the phone positions, so for example there’s a special layout for videocalling, one for listening to music, playing back video or simply using the handset as a watch and photo frame.
You can also personalize the cover of the Samsung concept phone when it’s bended and as you can see this folding aspect allows you to keep the device attached to your belt or to a strap, as shown by the young ladies below. You can also keep recording video even if the phone is folded and it will actually keep it more steady for excellent video capture. Add a dual core 2GHz CPU to this device, Android 4.0, 16GB of memory and an 8MP camera like the one on the Galaxy Note and I’m sold!

Rawad Semaan sent me his design, the Samsung Nexus Vision, a concept phone based on the quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor and also packing a 12 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and a Super AMOLED display that’s probably 4.5 inches in diagonal and maybe supports 720p HD resolution. I’m speculating on these specs since the designer didn’t reveal too many details.

When I see the Samsung Nexus Vision I instantly think about a combination between the Nokia N9 and the Samsung Galaxy S II for some reason. Get this baby Android Ice Cream Sandwich, some 1080p 60 fps video capture, LTE connectivity, 32GB of internal memory, 2GB of RAM and we’re all set. Of course, I’ve heard people saying that Nvidia Tegra 3 is not the brightest choice when it comes to quad core processors, but I don’t have faith in Intel Medfield or whatever they plan on bringing to the smartphone market.
I think that TI OMAP is the kind of CPU you want to get on a smartphone nowadays or even the Exynos quad core unit that everyone is dreaming about. What about you? All of you phone designers and aficionados, which CPU do you like the most for 2012′s phones?

We’ve had our share of
Samsung Galaxy S III concepts here, so it’s time for 2012 to produce a new one for us, courtesy of the same Bob Freking that has been so active over the past weeks. He created a more realistic Galaxy S III this time, that’s pictured below and based on a quad core Exynos processor with 1.2GHz frequency.

This new Galaxy S comes with a 12 megapixel camera with 1080p video capture at 60 fps, plus LED flash and a 3.2 megapixel camera at the front with HD video. The CPU might use ARM15 MP Core architecture and according to Bob Freking Samsung will stick to plastic for the chassis, but they’ll also use a special texture to it, like the back cover on the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung Galaxy S III is supposed to feature Gorilla Glass 2 protection, the technology that will be unveiled at CES 2012, as far as I know.
This display I keep mentioning is a Super AMOLED with HD resolution and the specs list of this new Galaxy S is rounded up by 1.5GB of RAM. Bob is sure that at least some of these specs will make it to the real Galaxy S3 and I’m confident as well, but I’m not quite sure if the new smartphone will be a quad core Exynos one, or merely a dual core 2GHz handset… I guess we’ll see at Mobile World Congress 2012!
[Thanks Bob]
