What? 'Realistic' and 'Concept Phone' in the same sentence? This is madness!
That is perhaps whats is going through your head right now, but I'm not trying to beguile you. Andrew Kim of Design Fabulous has arguably done just that.

Most concept phones are usually products of violent nerdgasms; as improbable as they are dreamy. But not the HTC 1, which finds its roots in utilitarianism. And that coupled with quintessential concept phone killer looks, results in a very compelling design! Stating that HTC's Android offerings especially the high end ones, are quiet woefully designed, he has come up with a high-end, classy, suave and thoughtful design. From choosing machined brass coated with silver for the frame to cleaning and beautifying the Sense UI, his concept phone oozes quality from the ground up. The hidden speaker, streamlined buttons (of which there are very few)(Pre Plus influence anybody?) and integrated kickstand maintain and uphold the minimalistic exterior.
This design aesthetic extends to the touched up Sense UI he calls 'Sense Mono'. The Sense Mono draws on Palm's Synergy and Motorola's Motoblur philosophy. It combines all social networks into a single feed and all Chat/Messaging conversations into a single stream. All in all, a really wholesome approach to the "Less is More" idea. The best part is that this isn't all that 1 entails. His design is pretty darn thorough and his presentation is excellent. Follow the link to view the concept phone in all its glory.
