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?

Wp7__fan, the same guy who created this
Nokia concept with Windows phone now sent us his new design, that involves a HTC Windows Phone handset. This model is called HTC Glory and to me it looks more like the LG Optimus 7, as far as looks go. It has a 4 inch display based on AMOLED technology, probably with the usual 800 x 480 pixel resolution.
HTC Glory features a 2GHz dual core processor, 32GB of storage, a 2400 mAh battery and a 12 megapixel camera. There’s also 2 megapixel camera at the front and the operating system here is Windows Phone Tango. No one knows exactly what Tango will bring, but I’ve heard that it comes with support for LTE, NFC, different form factors for phones (BlackBerry-like with combos of touch and QWERTY) and support for front camera. The next OS, Windows Phone Apollo will be the big one, supporting dual core processors and 720p resolutions.
What do you say about this device and how much would you spend on it? Keep in mind that there’s already a 16 megapixel WP7 device out there, HTC Titan II… so I’m not sure where this model fits in…
[Thanks wp7__fan]

We go back to 2010 for the HTC H1 concept phone, a device that looks rugged and bulky. This is the kind of gadgets you find on a construction site or in places where the robots from Transformers fight… you know like Cybertron. Joke aside, this creation belongs to Saeid Khajevand from Tehran, Iran and he did a good job in designing an original handset.
The X shaped pattern on the back of the phone is very interesting and as you can see this bulky smartphone comes with a 12 megapixel camera, a 3 inch TFT LCD display, a mini USB connector, a front speaker, a secondary VGA camera and side speakers. At the back there’s also a Xenon flash and we also get LED notification lights and multi-function capacitive buttons under the display (those two, on the left and right), plus a microSD card slot. If there’s any feature that doesn’t impress you remember that this is a HTC concept from 2010.
If this device would ever be redone, it would be thinner, but I’d like it to keep that X format at the back, since it’s cool and I also like the variation in thickness at the back of the device. There are some slopes and asymmetry to gain from here, beautiful ideas really… As you can see there’s also a stylus in the mix, so this may be some sort of rugged business PDA device.

Deviantart member ArtLime created an interesting concept interface for Android Ice Cream Sandwich and applied it to a HTC design called Skyline. The UI is simply called Simple UI and it’s very minimalistic, this design traits being clear especially in the lockscreen, home menu and applications area. The lockscreen involves a simple sliding bar and it shows all the notifications one needs (alarms, missed calls, texts and emails).
The Home menu is very standard with 4 dock icons at the bottom, that include the classic Back and Recent apps virtual buttons, while the My Applications menu seems to include a Games section and a Favorites section. As far as the HTC Skyline concept is concerned, this model resembles the HTC Rhyme quite a bit and its front styling also reminds me of the HTC HD 7. This Android phone probably has a 5 or 8 megapixel camera, 16GB of internal memory, 1 GB of RAM and most likely a dual core processor, although HTC recently launched some single core handsets that were actually decent.
I guess that the display here is around 4 inches in diagonal, a choice that HTC didn’t quite tackle so far, if I’m not mistaking. What do you think about this nifty Android 4.0 UI and handset?

Hasan Kaymak is back in 2012 with a new design, the one of the HTC concept phone called Cemile. HTC Cemile uses a full HD 1920 x 1080 pixel display with a 4.8 inch diagonal, thus becoming the largest Android smartphone out there, unless you count the Galaxy Note as a handset.
This concept HTC also comes with a 16 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, a front 2 megapixel camera, NFC support, Bluetooth 4.0 and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with HTC Sense UI 4.0. The phone relies on a 2500mAh Li-Akku battery for juicing up the machine and the specs list also includes HSPA+ connectivity, LTE, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n and 60GHz support (a new wireless technology). HTC Cemile adopts a metallic case as chassis and it provides 32GB of flash memory for storage purposes.
It also has changeable virtual buttons, that are easy to tweak, courtesy of a special feature from HTC. The handset also gets Wide IO Mobile RAM, a next generation 30nm type of RAM memory, with 50% less power usage compared to the equivalent DDR2 sticks. Also you must know that Cemile is supposed to ship with Beats Audio with Solo earphones. I imagine that the design of this device is pretty thin, looking at this pictures, something like 8mm or so. Fancy this smartphone?

In case you didn’t know there’s a special Facebook page for
HTC concepts, that shows some interesting designs. They include the very original HTC Bleyback, an extremely thin and flat concept, that’s shown in the images below. The designer who created them wants to send these pictures to HTC, in order to help create a new smartphone.
The designer envisions a HTC Bleyback priced at 489 euros and its specs should be similar to the ones of the HTC Sensation XL, but with an upgrade. The back cover is also changed in comparison with the XL and I expect HTC Sense 4.0 on board here, as well as Android Ice Cream Sandwich. There’s also a special limited edition with a green/white back.
As you can see there’s Beats Audio branding on board, so the cool headphones that come with the Sensation XE and XL will be included in the mix. HTC BleyBack looks like a device that can challenge the very thin Motorola Droid RAZR to a duel, when it comes to waistline. Imagine if this device was thinner than 7mm… although the designer had something like less than 8-9mm in mind. I wonder what camera sensor can fit in such a tiny profile.

HTC Sense 3.5 is not even out on so many devices out there and already there’s talk of Sense 4.0 and even Sense UI 4.1 Plus, the concept imagined by Hasan Kaymak. He created the HTC Classic concept phone, that you can see below, following up on a series of HTC designs created by the same man.
HTC Classic comes with a metallic case, a 9 megapixel camera with LED flash at the rear, a 2 megapixel camera at the front and a 4.7 inch 720p display. The latter reminds me of the HTC Sensation XL, aside from the resolution of the display. The device runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with Sense UI 4.1 Plus and on board you’ll also find Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi b/g/n, GPS and Bluetooth Data Transfer, a new feature on the device.
The smartphone is 8.6mm thick, comes with Beats Audio technology and uSchool, an app for students that translates, solves math problems and much more. There’s also an extra GPS sensor for extra sensitive locating and finding things easier. This can’t be considered a futuristic device, since such smartphones will be seen plentiful at MWC 2012.

HTC has a phone for everyone: the tech addict (Sensation), the girls (Rhyme), the music fan (Sensation XE or any Beats phone) and finally those looking for a lower end model (Wildfire and Wildfire S). What they lack is a rugged phone for sports enthusiasts, a niche filled by the HTC Rubber, a concept created by Richard Malachowski.
Originating from Barcelona, Spain, the designer envisioned a rubbery HTC concept phone, that switches the unibody aluminum case for one covered with a more flexible and resilient surface. I guess that this model would survive a drop, unlike the HTC HD2, that has been famous for cracking up once it hit the floor.
In spite of the rubbery design, the form factor at the back is kept the same, especially in the camera area. I’d see the HTC Rubber as a phone for skaters, snowboarders, climbers or simply people who work in extreme conditions and are prone to drop or smash their smartphones. Hopefully, the display has some solid Gorilla Glass layer on top…

Alexander Black emailed us one of his creations, the HTC EVO HD concept, that can be seen below. We’re dealing here with a very powerful smartphone, one that supposedly uses a 2 GHz dual core Snapdragon processor and a 3D display that doesn’t require special glasses.
Also, considering the name EVO HD, I’m expecting a 720p display on this smartphone with a 4.5 inch diagonal. The deice also has 4G connectivity enabled, a battery with 10 hours of functioning and an 8 megapixel camera at the front (!!), plus a 10 megapixel camera at the back. The goal here would be HD videocalling, if LTE were available… which is pretty cool actually.
Also, I can’t help but notice how thin this phone is… almost like a credit card and I wonder how they can fit an 8 megapixel and 10 megapixel camera in such a small package. HTC must come up with a very Samsung-like technology to pull off this stunt…
[Thanks Alexander Black]

HTC Phenom is a concept device created by Marc Aynote from Tokyo, Japan. All I can do with this handset is suppose what it’s all about, since I have no specifications and design details for it. Thus, I can assume it’s a handset for youngsters and teens, since it’s pretty tiny, slim and appealing.
It comes with the classic HTC back case, some very interesting buttons at the bottom, that seem to light up in a nice way and an original concept design. If I were to guess, I’d say that the display on this phone is a 3.2 inch one, showing the classic HTC Sense interface, in a version older than 3.0, if I’m not mistaking.
This means that the specs on this device aren’t that evolved, so we might get a 800 MHz CPU here, 700 MB of RAM and maybe 2 GB of internal memory. This model supports 3G, Bluetooth, WiFi and should come with a 3 or 5 megapixel camera. Priced at $150 let’s say, this would become a total hit on the worldwide market, but we have to remind you that right now it’s a mere design, but one can dream, right?
