Flexible displays (and other materials) promise to open a whole new realm of form factors for our mobile devices. Devices such as the LG G Flex have only given us a taste of things to come. Conceived by Robrecht Vanhauwere, the Samsung BEND concept device gives us a glimpse at what might be possible in a few more years. As […]

Concept Sunday: Solar Eclipse in-flight solar charger
Those smartphones and tablets that do so much for us have also proven their use as we travel to every corner of the world. Who hasn’t used theirs either to get some work done or stay entertained (or entertain little ones who might otherwise make long flights feel even longer) especially on longer flights? The usual challenge of keeping these […]
Concept Sunday: BlackBerry Visa
BlackBerry has a hit on its hands with the rather unusual BlackBerry Passport. Some 200,000 were ordered within days of the company starting to take pre-orders and it continues to receive mostly positive reviews. What if BlackBerry popped that distinctive 4.5-inch square display into a device without a physical keyboard? It might very much look like the BlackBerry Visa concept […]
Concept Sunday: HTC Nexus 5 2014
The Google Nexus 6 was not announced yet that rumours began to circulate that Google was looking to release two Nexus smartphones this year.

Countless accessories have already tackled this challenge but few deliver a truly satisfactory solution. Packing a spare battery cable and charger is often not a convenient colution either. Enter a new concept […]

Many concepts we have featured on Concept Sunday are interesting designs in which specifications take a back seat to a unique form factor. In the case of the Domino Nexus Marble, it’s the opposite with the specifications taking center stage. Conceived by DeviantART‘s TimmyRay1992, the monoblock design certainly is not unusual in itself. That’s not to say that there are […]
Concept Sunday: Samsung Galaxy S6 concept
With the Samsung Galaxy S6 (or Project Zero?) rumours in full swing this week, it’s a perfect time to take a look at what the next Samsung flagship smartphone might look like. It would appear that the folks over at 91mobiles were thinking the same thing. They got to work and came up with the following Galaxy S6 concept. Whereas […]
