Samsung B&O Concept Phone
If you’re going to throw another smartphone into the saturated market, you had better come with something different and that’s why I like this concept Samsung B&O phone. Inspired by Bang & Olufsen , it’s a mix between the current Samsung Galaxy lineup with B&O’s traditional slant on masculine industrial engineering. I think the final form works. It’s thin and sleek, yet manages to slightly deviate from the “me too” crowd. LOVE the dock which transforms it into a banging B&O speaker. One can hope.
Designer: Antoine Brieux of NAK Studio

Almost perfect, replace 2.3 with Windows Phone 7.5 and we have a winner… Android is sluggish and most of all ugly. With the right OS this would be amazing.

I’m not a smart phone conosur or anything but I just don’t get it. It looks exactly the same as every other smart phone out there right now. There’s nothing original here that I haven’t seen before other than the styling of the dock. Am I missing something?

The OS will always be left up to preference, and I’m also leaning towards android.
Your design is neat,just please loose the weird home key, hard keys is vintage. come to think of it, this looks very Sony Xperia ARC inspired.

There are a couple of longevity/ergonomic issues. For one thing the screen is kind of on the wrong side of the curve. The whole point of putting a lip at the bottom of a phone (HTC) or the screen on the inside of the curve is to protect it when you put the phone face down on a surface.
Not to mention that it follows the curve of your face.
Otherwise I like the look and the awareness that phones are becoming our primary audio device, making packaging a speaker system with it is a good idea.

I agree. this looks very similar to the sony ericsson arc. But being B&O designed, I’m pretty sure some premium materials were used, coupled with high quality finishing.

Some people, I included, like Android.
IMHO, Microsoft never should’ve tried to make a mobile OS.
