Galaxy Nexus 2 is not just a worthy rival its beyond
The following round up is just a concept but even this gives us the chills !
We see a lot of concept devices roll through all of the time. The vast majority of concept renders are for rumored Apple products, but there will be the occasional concept of a BlackBerry device, or even an official concept from Nokia. One thing that we don't see too often are concept renders for Google Nexus devices. Sure, we'll see the occasional render designed to fool people into thinking it's a leak of the real product, but that's not quite the same as a concept. Today, we saw a pretty interesting concept render for what would be a Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2.
The
concept was designed by Killu-Chan, and shows a Samsung-made Nexus
phone that would feature a 5" display at 720p resolution covered in
Gorilla Glass 2. Inside, the concept calls for 32GB of storage, 42Mbps
HSPA+, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0 with MHL and USB on the go. The
ridiculous part is that the concept also calls for 8GB of RAM, which
we're really hoping is just a typo, because if that's really an expected
feature of the designer, we may just have to throw out the entire idea.
Rounding out the internals would be a 2GHz quad-core Tegra 3 and a 3200
mAh battery.
As far as cameras, there would be a 2MP front-facing camera,
and a 12MP rear camera. Also on the back would be an LED flash, and in
addition to the current set of camera features, the designer is calling
for simultaneous HD video and image recording.
All
of that sounds nice and dreamy, some even seems reasonable. The design
itself uses a teardrop shape that is expected to be part of the iPhone 5
design. The other major part of the design is that it has no bezel on
the sides of the screen. This is a fairly common design point, but it's
one that we don't really expect to take off any time soon. It's a good
idea to shrink the side bezel in order to fit a larger screen, but to
take away the bezel all-together would cause too many issues with
accidental touches.
Overall,
it looks like a pretty interesting concept, but not one that we're
really expecting or would even be too excited about. It looks sort of
like a smoothed-out DROID X. It's never a good sign when a concept
design is more interesting for its spec sheet than the design itself.
What do you think? Are we being too hard on it?
