Created by Kirill Krymov, working with some designer students in USA and Motorola designers in Korea, the following concept shows us a Motorola phone without keys and relying on touch input and gestures. The Moto Play is basically a full touch rectangle, with two movable parts at the back, that look as if joysticks were set apart from the handset.
These moving parts uncover a camera and other features of the Motorola Play include the ability to charge via wireless, just by placing the phone on a charging base. The device uses a 7 megapixel camera that takes quick snaps and this photo sensor is hidden behind two sliding parts, that can be used as joysticks in the gaming experience and as controls for the camera. The left joystick is used for zooming, while the right one is used for taking pictures (shutter button).
This looks like a very interesting Motorola concept phone, one that would fit youngsters, teens and people with an active lifestyle. I’m not sure if the slider parts make it more fragile or not and if they won’t wear out during a long period of use…

Since Motorola brought back the RAZR series to the modern Android age, why not do the same with the ROKR? Thus, we meet the Motorola Droid ROKR, a device that’s shown below and a concept that was created by Bob Freking. The handset comes in 64GB and 128GB versions, so it provides enough storage for people obsessed with getting all the discographies they need.
Droid ROKR comes with a dual core TI OMAP processor at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM and with an 8 megapixel camera with 1080p HD video capture, plus a front 3 megapixel camera. The specs sound very much like the ones of the Motorola Droid RAZR, albeit with a music twist. There’s also a special Android 4.0 UI that focuses on music, according to the designer. Built in auto tone and music mixers are also included, for wannabe rappers and DJs.
HD Music is provided via headphones and recording is done in clear and sharp audio. Also, I forgot to mention the 3.7 inch 720p display, that’s an incredible resolution for such a small diagonal. Of course, this is the ultimate music phone, making us forget about the HTC models with Beats Audio or the Walkman series from Sony Ericsson…

Ok, so I have an inside source saying that the next Google Nexus phone will be made by Motorola and it will be called Motorola Nexus RAZR… I imagine that the design of the device will look something like the smartphone below, a Motorola concept made by Michael Williams, from San Francisco.
Since the new Nexus will be a RAZR I’m expecting a crazy thin waistline, maybe even below 7mm. Also, this design with sharp edges is kind of nice and it has a Droid feeling to it, one that suits the new generation of Android experience. I’m expecting a 4.5 inch display here, a 720p one obviously and a quad core processor inside the handset.
The combo between red and black colors when it comes to the case is a good idea, as the HTC Sensation XE has shown us.. Not so sure about those capacitive buttons, considering that Ice Cream Sandwich includes its own on-screen keys for use with the OS navigation. If you combine what we already know about the future of Motorola with Michael’s design, we get an interesting picture of the future. The only mystery here is the camera, but I’m guessing 12MP, 1080p 60 fps video capture or close to it…

The designs of Gregory Pizzatto have been hosted before on our website and yet another fresh one is here for you to comment on. This time it’s a Motorola concept phone posted on Coroflot a couple of days ago and just as a coincidence we’re only 2 days away from the announcement of the Motorola Droid RAZR.
There’s already a teaser and leaked pics for the new RAZR, that’s expected to be incredibly thin and run Android Ice Cream Sandwich. As far as this concept is concerned, it looks like an Android model with maybe a 4 or 4.3 inch display, a 14 megapixel camera (if my eye sight is good) and a comfortable to hold back.
Maybe it’s that kevlar back we’ve been hearing so much about, that will probably make it to the next Motorola Droid device or maybe the next Motorola Xoom tablet. From this picture I can’t tell how thick the phone is, but give it anything below 8.5mm and it’s certainly a RAZR and a competitor for the Galaxy S II’s thickness. What do you think?

With the folks of Pocketnow recently uncovering proof that there’s a Motorola Droid RAZR out there, I can’t do anything but welcome back this ultraslim series of handsets from Moto. Thus, the concept below made by Deviantart member djeric looks more modern than ever.
This is a piece of work from 2009 so it’s all the more impressive. If a new RAZR would launch today, it would have to be about 7mm thick to make a difference, incorporate a beautiful design, maybe glossy, maybe matte, depending on what the current trend on the market is. I would also include a dual core 1.5GHz CPU on it and Android Ice Cream Sandwich.
To make a difference, I would create a RAZR UI especially for this unit, but one that doesn’t use elements from the not so lovely MOTOBLUR, that I didn’t like. All in all, this should be a fashion statement, even if a pricey one, but it wouldn’t matter much, since Moto is good at this glamour stuff, like they did with the AURA model… can they do a repeat?

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.

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?
