Very nice concept, I love too. Hoping that the 1800 mAh battery keeps battery life (

over 12 hours

) :rolleyes: .

Thank you.

HTD HD2

I like it, and you?
[General Topics] vegasphinx:
Overall it's a nice design. But it makes me wonder, where the hell the battery been putted?

A 1800 Mah should be a thick battery ( unless the battery is thin, but cover the whole background :D)
[General Topics] MrYuiM:
That would be a fine idea seeing as they can fit a 1650 into the S2 and look at that beauty!

But I would add several things to this. Firstly an MHL port, just for fun :D Then I would rip out that dual-core snapdragon and place in there the upcoming nVidia Kal-el, quadcore awesomeness. The screen should be toned down a bit to around 4.3/4.5.

Hmm what about autosteroscopic 3D screen :D and 3D cams ;)
[General Topics] Chaoticaa:
Very nice phone. I like almost everything about it. My only complaints:

1. 4.7"!!!!! TOO BIG! :o

2. At 720p, that's going to be a ***** on CPU/GPU thus killing battery life quite fast. Also, almost every app won't support this res and will end up having black boarders or something.

3. (minor complaint) would prefer the volume rocker on the left instead.

Otherwise, EPIC phone. I'd love to have that phone. :D

Notice the removable grey back cover? It looks pretty massive. Considering that the phone has a 4.7" display, I'd imagine there's more than enough space to fit a huge (long and wide, but thin) 1800 mAh battery in there but keep it thin enough.
[General Topics] GtaSpider:
back to the roots :> looks quite similar as the HTC HD2, but a little bit sleeker. very nice concept and nice artwork, thanks mate :)
[General Topics] rock3r:
Seems a bit like a mixture of SGSII, iPhone 3G/3GS and Xperia Arc. The design is fine, but that 4.7" display is a huge downer. In fact, phones should not go over 4" imho; even 4.3" displays are too big. Other than that, I'd rather pick a Kal-El than a Snapdragon as well :D
[General Topics] Ezzy77:
Nice concept, although Android 3.0 is incapable of making calls. So not the best OS for a phone :) Looks good tho
[General Topics] greymalken:
Looks really nice but I'm not sold on this "Hand Power" idea. It seems like it would lead to A LOT of ass-dialing. I have this problem with my EVO already. If I pocket it with out tapping the power button first, my pants (and leg inside, no doubt) use the screen to unlock the phone and mash random buttons. Aside from that, and Kal-el, this concept is pretty sick. Cheers!
[General Topics] vyis:
i would prefer some hardware buttons, or capacitive with some sort of gesture implement. It's too frequent to have accidental touch with capacitive, especially when typing in landscape mode.

some sort like two layer buttons,one up one down, where you need to touch the two in less than x millisecond to initiate action. OR swipe across the capacitive panel, and it register where you stop to determine the action.
[General Topics] zsman24:
4.7" is too lagre for a simple phone, and too small for a tablet. The concept is good, but i think it's unusuable as a smartphone.
[General Topics] spectremANDROID:
Dream Come True.... For Me

It's a beautiful and thoughtful concept. Aesthetically I think its very well balanced. Not too plain and industrial but not at all garish or excessively detailed, though I personally prefer my phones more flat and slate-like, without any contoured bump outs, lips, chins or gradations. A more flat design would make this phone reminiscent of iPhone 3Gs and some iPods, but I think it would be forgivable and I have large hands so I can't agree that its too large to be a useable phone. I actually find myself wishing that my HTC EVO's screen was a bit larger.

This phone, with HTC SENSE 3, would unquestionably be a dream come true, for me.
[General Topics] matejdro:
I like it a lot. 4.7 screen may be too big, but it would get used to it :)

And i like the way you hide capacitive buttons. These are usually just extension of the screen that cannot display its own image, but you made use of that extra space.
[General Topics] clash189:
The Tube is briliant

I would say his concept for HTC Tube is indeed brilliant and refreshing unlike other phone that only has physical difference into different sausage size. The dual OS is too risky though, perhaps I would prefer to get WM7 with RIM function together and get Flash Player ready. This option won't hurt RIM after the license and subscription fees are still their own, but can reach bigger audience that feels RIM devices are rather not performance oriented. The same thing goes for Microsoft to take their corporate client back :cool:
[General Topics] Matiee:
Lovely design, truly :)

Talking about the specs, I'd say that 4.7'' would be perhaps too big to please the most. The 4.3 form factor would be the best compromise, imo.

My only concern here is about the SOC: I believe Nvidia Tegra to be the way to go for Android phones.
[General Topics] Zalatorisaurus:
I love HTC's new slogan. "Simply powerful"
[General Topics] simeoncader:
Now that is a thing of beauty, with a screen size to die for... Oh HTC, please work with NAK and make this dream a reality!! :D
[General Topics] Stalte:
Absolutely gorgeous. Maybe if we go on HTC Facebook and post this picture enough times to get this done.
[General Topics] marquez7890:
I would change the screen size, its small, to a 5 or 5.5 inch coming from a dell streak i can't go smaller, even if its .3 of an inch
[General Topics] andoridkiller:
This is a Beauty!!! Whens it out! I assume HTC have already contacted you to get the rights?
[General Topics] andoridkiller:
Yes then it wont fit in my pocket
[General Topics] Zerobarat1:
The screen is way too big :) . A smartphone should stop around 4" so it doesn't cross over into tablet territory .

And what's with it hardware wise ? Why qualcomm ? I bet that hardware will have a pretty hard time powering that resolution :) . ( adreno 220 hahahah )
[General Topics] Sunsparc:
Put the buttons at the bottom back in order (home, menu, back, search) and I would totally buy it.
[General Topics] codito:
They are in the best order possible (N1 for life)
[General Topics] jacktackle:
your concept is pretty cool pal but, why cannot one think of a cool user interface as well? its been a century we are looking at the same UI. it's another story that Android is all about customizing, but why not each model is been customized originally suiting it's name?? I really love the Idea of HTC Hub in WP7. i mean not everyone needs a weather on the screen all the freekin time.

4.7 is wooping big! i feel like even 4.5 is big. 4.3 is just ok.

i hope they adopt your concept. waiting for your new designs :P
[General Topics] simeoncader:
Seeing as the buttons are part of the touchscreen, it wouldn't be very hard to rearrange them ;)

It's a brilliant idea having them as part of the screen!
[General Topics] akshay2000:
I don't see any 3.5 mm audio thing! Does that mean we're back to HTC's 11 pin Mini USB? It really provides great audio. I feel it when I compare my Gene with HD2 and iPod Touch 4!
[General Topics] mdrentz:
the standard HTC order on the touch buttons should be used and the standard HTC icons for them. i hate the order used by other companies. It should always be Home, Menu, Back, and Search. it just makes more sense
[General Topics] professoroak:
That's a ginormous screen.. lol. I think 4" or 4.3" is the sweet spot for phone screens IMHO.
[General Topics] Martin_F:
Its beautiful, but I think the only technical problem may be the screen resolution. But the producer of japanese Sharp displays could help a lot with that.
[General Topics] moslem_n:
simply the best design i have ever seen . if this thing gets real ! i will defenetly get it !!!
[General Topics] sheanzyy:
Wow.. Those who come up with concepts are absolutely brilliant. I love this device.

I'm with one user, the 4.7'' display would throw me off. I think 3.8-4.3 is PERFECT. :D
[General Topics] demster:
It is a very nice concept! Like many others I think it might be too big (I just never had such a big phone). Other than that I hope HTC will look at your design and produce such a phone!

Could you also do a design with fysical keyboard? I'd love that even more (Desire Z now :P)
[General Topics] ObihoernchenDE:
Omg awesome.

This is the dream Android phone. HTC should hire you!
[General Topics] YenahsYenzow:
I'd have to agree!
[General Topics] ghostnik:
Love the design of your concept phone, how about adding a physical qwerty keyboard for business/professional users and a 3.5 mm headphone Jack. I hope HTC checks out your concept phone, and makes it a reality.
[General Topics] andybarron:
++1 on the cheap plastic. Samsung Nexus would be a great phone if not for the piano slick black plastic. Come on HTC something more like the Nexus one
[General Topics] kurolife:
Imo time for MSM8960 rather than the MSM8660 Which will be main main stream in a couple of month
[General Topics] skynet11:
The 4.7" screen is great! Especially since the phone's physical size doesn't change. Due to the presence of capacitive buttons, the screen size is more like 4.5" as far as apps are concerned, like the Infuse 4G and the upcoming Droid Bionic. For landscape-mode apps like Angry Birds, you could make hiding the capacitive buttons optional. The main purpose of the 4.7" screen size (imho) is to play HD videos in true 16:9 ratio at full screen rather than having the black bars on the top and bottom. The dual-core Snapdragon 1.5 Ghz processor should be more than up to the task of handling the ultra-HD pixel density, along with a combined 2GB of RAM/ROM. With a 1800 mAh battery, there is no reason to worry about the screen burning off the battery too soon (imho again).

My problem is with the touch-activated power. People are used to having their physical power/screen lock buttons. It gives them a sense of security against accidentally turning on the phone and/or unlocking the screen and performing some operation by mistake.

Other than that, throw in Android (3.5?) Ice Cream Sandwich and you'll be golden. (I don't think it will be 4.0 because it's basically a combination of Gingerbread and Honeycomb).

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[General Topics] aussie1234:
I Hope HTC are Listening!!

What a great idea and great concept phone!!

I would add:

a) Bang & Olfsen (sorry if I mispelt it) audio & stereo speakers like the forever future release Lumigon series.

b) Unlocked Bootloader. I went to a Samsung GS2 because HTC just dont listen!

c) 3D Screen feature

d) I would keep external buttons as touching to turn it on could be nuisance and battery drain. Plus getting into recovery and rooting/flashing phone would benefit from hardware buttons.

Then this would be my ultimate phone and I would buy it even if it was around AU$1,000.

Hey HTC are you listening?

Cheers

Aussie :D

[General Topics] gear_rus:
Thats just.... Amazing!! The best design I've seen. This certainly reminds of legendary HD2 (the back cover, camera flash, its very form) 4,7" is f-n' HUGE, revolutionary, just like HD2 was :) The so-long-desired HDMI to extend multimedia capacity, HD2 lacks this. Also has necessary camera button. Ofc we could safely assume it will cost you an awful lot of money :DD

100% fitting for Htc, nice one
[General Topics] waraney:
Great concept phone m8.. :eek:

maybe this phone i dreamed last night.. :D

but I think if you add this thing it would be superb;

- Power/Lock button

- Alumunium metal rounded

- stereo loudspeaker

the screen maybe to big, 4.3" would be nice..

;)
[General Topics] chablo12:
Great phone, What a design. No hardware button needed, Possibly to comeout with Icecream Sandwich.

Still Pocketable, I used Dell Streak 5 inch without any problem.

1800maH battery is still bit low, I am expecting nearly 2000mAH or free usage.
[General Topics] amonrei:
Need stereo speakers on the side of the phone complete with Dolby, SRS etc. That would be a nice match to go with the enormous screen. :D

[General Topics] feygor:
I like the design, but for such a thin smartphone, with 12mp camera, dual led flash, 1.5ghz dual core processor, 1gb ram, all i'm wondering is how long would the battery last. Forget about making faster and better looking phones. Phone technology is evolving at a substantial rate but the technology of the battery is far too old, devices these days just can't cope with the lack of power. I can remember when I could charge my phone once a month, now if I forget over night it will die the next day. :( sorry for the rant, I just wish someone could invent a nuclear reactor that could fit in the phone to make the most of the technology...

This is what I was trying to say earlier, the internet gets one sniff of something and blows it completely out of proportion xD

psikopathe created this concept, and everyone of those sites has thought it was a real design. A credit to him that it really looks like a HTC device, and even more so, HTC should be snapping him as a new designer!

Great job psikopathe to make such an impact in the smartphone arena with what I imagine was just a bit of fun!

4.7' is too big (4.3' is the sweet spot.. i can go for 4.5' max with very minimal bezel)

for some reason i dislike the grill on the bottom of the phone, also why not micro hdmi directly instead using an extra dongle?

just my 2 cents

[General Topics] IISiDeK1CKII:
It's too thin to be held comfortably with a 4.7" screen. it's not that larger screens aren't good, this simply is ergonomically wrong. I think the largest this phone could be to maximize ergonomics is 4" or 4.3" if it's like a droid x, not evo/tb
[General Topics] Pick_A_Name:
Maybe your hands are small other mine are big, but I can easily use a larger screen.
[General Topics] IISiDeK1CKII:
no no no... you're misunderstanding me...

Something that is large width wise and this thin is very difficult to hold for a long period of time comfortably, even with larger hands. For example, grab an envelope and hold it for an extended time, it lacks the ergonomics to be held comfortably for an extended time. Now, grab a small stack and note how much easier it is to hold. It's simple really:

A thin item must be held by the finger tips with little to no support from the palm, as there is less surface area to touch the palm with. As time goes on, the finger tips which aren't as strong as the palm will become tired. A phone with heft, thickness an/or height/weight proportions will be easier to hold, because it will fit in the palm much easier.

This isn't a question of hand size, it's a matter of whether or not a large phone with no apparent thickness is ergonomically sound. The inspire is a very good example of a phone that sucks ergonomically... it is too big width wise. This phone would be doomed if it were to not fatten up a bit.
[General Topics] Pick_A_Name:
Sorry. I understand you now. I still don't agree, but it might be how I hold my phone. I use one hand not two. My Inspire sits with the bottom left corner in palm. If I am shaking hands it sits in the bottom left quarter of my palm and is stable there. The additional size of a phone would then be up to the fingers. Some people grab it with their palm on the left and fingers on the right. That would get more difficult to hold. Also the larger size would make IMHO the screen worth turning sideways for more things. Just my opinion ;)
[General Topics] IISiDeK1CKII:
haha, opinions are like asses... everyone as one. LOL

Glad you at least see whats going on in my head. I hate the inspire btw... too big.
[General Topics] BobBobingson:
