Nexus X Concept Phone

Nexus X Concept Phone is Made of Aluminum, Features Removable Battery and Fingerprint Scanner

Designer Hass. T has created a new Nexus concept phone dubbed Nexus X, that brings a few new traits to the series. The handset comes with an aluminum case and what the designer calls a “simple and elegant” look.

This model is made of aluminum, has a removable battery and microSD card slot. Hass. T also included at the front a Nexus “X” logo, that lights up and serves as a fingerprint scanner, unlocking the device with the touch of a finger. Nexus X has Gorilla Glass 4 protection at the front and runs on the new Android M. The finishing is black/slate and new colors were promised by the concept’s creator.

The design is rather bulky and massive, but after all the Nexus models were always kind of bulky, don’t you think? We can’t tell which brand would manufacture the phone, but to me it kind of feels like a Motorola. What’s certainly lacking here is an USB Type C port, but the designer has promised to fix that through a future update.  The back texture feels like that soft touch plastic we’ve been used over the past two generations, rather than metal.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Gets Envisioned With Edge to Edge Narrow Design

I have seen a lot of rumors and leaks related to the Samsung Galaxy Note 5over the past days, saying that we may get a 4K display and a dual edge version of the device. Today we get a new concept of this model, that’s shown below.

We also learned that its diagonal may be somewhere around 5.7 or 5.8 inches and that this model will bring a narrower bezel and possibly use glass at the back, like the Galaxy S6. The render included here is pretty sexy, but the back side feels a bit strange, like it was copy/pasted from another model. The facade feels like a Galaxy S6 Edge without the curved edges, which is kind of nice, actually.

We’ve got even small bezels at the top and bottom this time and the bottom bezel features a physical Home button, as well as a capacitive Back button and Recents button. The thickness shown in the images is crazy, as it seems to be around 5 or 6 mm in waistline. There will be a fingerprint scanner on board, a new metal frame design, 4 GB of RAM inside and a new type of Exynos True 8 core CPU.

The back camera may jump to 20 MP, while the front camera from the Galaxy S6 is good enough here. What do you think of this concept Galaxy Note 5? Personally, I love the blue version!
