Frank Tobias decided to stay away from Android for a while and created the Sony Ericsson Xperia aero concept. This light and ergonomic smartphone comes with a user-friendly interface and it skips Android in favor of some other OS that the designer didn’t want to mention.

I can speculate that the OS is Windows Phone 7, since Frank has been receiving suggestions towards this platform. Also, it could be MeeGo or webOS, but let’s see what he decides. As far as specs go, the Xperia Aero comes with an 8.1 megapixel camera at the back and a 3.2 megapixel camera at the front for videocalls.
Bonus, you get a new shot of the Xperia Smart, designed by the same Frank Tobias and pictured below:

User angad2050 from the Esato board recently posted the Xperia Grip concept online, a device that looks pretty hot. For me it has a certain rugged twist to it and I’m intrigued to see Android 3.0 Honeycomb among the specs, especially with Google I/O 2011 coming soon and probably bringing Honeycomb to smartphones.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Grip design includes a 4.2 inch Sony Bravia Mobile Display LED, a 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor and 1GB of RAM. There’s also a 10MP camera with autofocus and support for 720p HD recording, while GPS and WiFi complete the specs list. The shape of the device is very ergonomic and I really can’t shake the feeling that this is one of those rugged handsets…

After spotting the
Xperia Arc Duo concept, created by Esato board user pavlov’s dog, he’s back with a 3D render of the handset, followed by the Xperia Curve Quad phone. Both are 4.5 inch HD OLED multitouch smartphones, according to their creator.

Just like the Arc model, both reach 8mm at their thinnest points and 10mm at the thickest. The Arc Duo brings a dual core processor and a rotating camera as an extra to the original model, while the Xperia Curve Quad uses an aluminum unibody and it’s a quad-core phone, with a similar technology to the one on Sony GSP.
Both models run Android Honeycomb… dream come true?

I guess I can say that the
XPERIA X2 is no longer a mystery to me, since I’ve seen at least 10 concepts of this device. One would think the designers enjoy creating Android G2 concepts, but the XPERIA has something magical about it, that makes concept creators become inspired.
This is FlamEmo’s second concept phone and the Esato user did something unique, by implementing the Symbian S60 touch platform on the X2.

Well, at least theoretically he did, as the interface reminds me of the Android OS. It could be the S60 with an Android-like skin… who knows. Spec(ulation)s? Touchscreen surely, huge internal memory, decent camera (hopefully 8 megapixel) and tons of stuff you’ve seen on the Nokia N97 specs list.

Well, I got two things right the first time I checked out Sealover94′s
concept phone: the Sony Ericsson device really is a smartphone and does feature the Android OS. And what does “smartphone” in the same sentence with Sony Ericsson tell you? That’s right, XPERIA all the way!

We’ve seen Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 concept phones before, but each handset was better looking than the last one, which is also the case of Sealover’s design. There’s even a neat logo close to the bottom of the device, an original idea that combines the Android logo with SE’s classical emblem.
Other than that, the XPERIA X2 is what everyone would expect: a smartphone that packs a pretty big touchscreen, the classic Android interface, touch-sensitive (or virtual) “Back”, “Home” and “Menu” keys, plus two calls keys at the bottom and a navigational mechanism. What more can I say? Me likey!!

Seriously now, aren’t you tired of
XPERIA concept phones? Think I’ll take a break from those for a week… It’s not my fault that the Esato guys are so productive and creative these days. The latest XPERIA design comes from pavlov’s_dog and it’s still in the making.

After reading the small print, I discovered that it’s a device with a 540 x 960 QHD touchscreen, custom Symbian S60, an 8 megapixel autofocus camera, 3 versions of internal memory (8/16/32GB) and WiFi 802/1 b/g/n support. There’s also an M2/MicroSD slot on its specs list and a 3.5mm audio jack plus a miniUSB port.

They would be live pics if the phone were real and not only an extremely well done concept designed by tob!s from Esato, although some of the members of that board might disagree. The device is the new definition of glossy and its form factor resembles the iPhone quite a lot, although the
XPERIA X3 is a tad longer.

I couldn’t help noticing that one of the photos of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X3 concept posted on Esato was named “LG Renoir”… Could any of the photos above and below use Renoir as their Photoshopped “muse”? I’m just guessing here, so don’t throw stones…

XPERIA Sora was yesterday’s hit, created by Razec and published on Esato, but now this concept phone reveals more than meets the eye and earns itself more praise than simply the tag of “mid-end XPERIA”. It comes with the famous panel-based interface, a multimedia/web mode, Windows Mobile 7 and a 1 GHz Qualcomm QSD8250 CPU at its core.

If you thought that XPERIA Sora was all about hot specs, guess again, as the camera on its back is impressive as well. We’re dealing with a 12 megapixels Exmor CMOS sensor that may be more real than we think. Great job Razec, once again!

Someone from Esato claimed that the next the
XPERIA would be an excellent way of making the original handset into a lower end device, accessible for people with less cash and tech know-how. A mid-end XPERIA would surely blow the competition away, but would it canibalize the sales of the original handset?

XPERIA X2 was designed by J. Havrlant, a name you must have surely heard if you’ve seen our best Sony Ericsson concepts.
Notice that the neat touchscreen and interface are still there, WM flavour, but the next version of this XPERIA smartphone might lack the QWERTY keyboard. It’s the designer’s call there…

We’ve seen the
XPERIA X5 before, but never so beautiful and so uber-filled with hot features… This time we’re dealing with a smartphone designed by Exilim from Esato and what a smartphone this is! Let me begin with the shocking specs: a Qualcomm MSM7200 850 MHz processor, 512 MB RAM and 40 GB internal memory…
Plus, there are 2 displays to toy with: a front TFT touchscreen (65k colors, 800 x 480) and a slideout one, TFT touchscreen as well (65 k colors, 800 x 240).

We mustn’t forget the full touch QWERTY keyboard/game controls and the classic 3G HSDPA connectivity, accompanied by Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, GPS, A-GPS and an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, image stabiliser and Xenon flash. The battery is incredible too, lasting 833 hours in standby mode and up to 10 hours if you’re a chatter.
