Bob Freking did some research before creating the Nokia Prodigy concept phone and came up with an interesting idea for a Windows Phone 8 device. Nokia Prodigy runs this OS and offers 16 to 64 GB of storage and 1GB of RAM, all of them borrowed from the Nokia N9.

At the back we have a 41 megapixel PureView camera, perhaps even a smaller sensor than on the first PureView phone. Nokia Prodigy does 1080p video capture, a ClearBlack HD display with AMOLED technology and inside there’s a 1.85 GHz Nova A9540 processor, a dual core one actually. The GPU is a PowerVR SGX 544 and other specs include NFC, a front facing camera, a microSD card slot and the latest in Windows Phone apps. Skype is also integrated into the experience and available through the front camera.

I say that this project is doable and that around this fall or winter we’ll see something like this in the stores. I’m really curios what CPU Nokia will choose and how they will be able to evolve their displays to a modern level. Also, the PureView camera would make a fine addition to a Windows Phone 8 model.

Brian Bovi, the designer of the Xperia Pop Windows Phone model is now back with a Lumia concept. The designer is from Luxembourg and this time he envisioned the Nokia Lumia 850, based on nothing else than his own imagination. Brian wanted to create a successor the Nokia Lumia 800 and the result can be seen in the pictures below.

We’re dealing here with a 3.8 inch smartphone with a high res display, curved glass, plastic body and an 8 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens. This model also has a stereo speaker system and the shape of the Nokia Lumia 850 is described as “edgeless” by the designer. As you can see, this phone supports LTE connectivity and I’d imagine it in the portofolio of AT&T in the USA. It’s a pretty wide device that tries to keep all the physical buttons on a single side, the right one.

You can find the volume buttons, On/OFF button and camera button on that side. At the top we have what looks like the microSIM card slot, if I’m not mistaking. I like the form factor of this device and this wide approach could be interesting in the future. Do you prefer the longer Lumia 800 or the wider Lumia 850? You can follow Brian Bovi on Twitter (@brianmfb).

This may not be much of a concept, but the idea behind it is great. We’ve already seen Android 4.0 ported to the Nokia N9 and now Deviantart use Slatd created this render that shows us a potential future Nokia model. Meet the Nokia N1, the very first model to run Android 4.0 ICS preinstalled.

This phone comes with the 41 megapixel Nokia PureView camera sensor, a HD ClearBlack display and the pure Google experience. Since right now Nokia is teamed up with Microsoft there’s no way you’ll see something like this, but give  it some time and maybe Nokia will come around and get rid of Windows Phone. It’s interesting to see those capacitive buttons below the display on the device and they actually look pretty nice. The creator of this 41 megapixel Android cameraphone says that he took the Lumia 800 as inspiration.

So, this means we’re dealing with a 3.7 inch smartphone with upgraded resolution, probably the best pixel density out there since it’s 720p on a smaller than usual diagonal. I’ve seen a while ago some Nokia N9 clones made in China and they ran Android, so it’s actually possible to fulfill your fantasy of owning that shell for a device and with a custom OS of your choice.

We’ve seen the combination between the Lumia and Pureview series from Nokia a bunch of times so far and here’s yet another Nokia concept phone based on this idea. The creation of Jonas Dahnert, Nokia Lumia PureView 920 is a Windows Phone 8 Apollo device with a 12 megapixel PureView camera and a quad core processor.

The design seems the standard one of the Lumia 800/900 models, so it’s all polycarbonate and straight edges. The Lumia 920 comes with a 4.3 inch screen with 720p resolution, a 2000 mAh battery, support for 1080p video capture and the screen is curved. There’s also a front facing camera on board and a Xenon flash. This Lumia newcomer also features a camera button and strangely enough it lacks the classical Windows Phone capacitive keys. They could make an appearance when you swipe or contextually…

Landscape view is also supported and there’s the concept of tile grouping via an app called New Groups. Nokia Lumia PureView 920 has a metallic back and another good thing is that Xenon flash with LED assist, so I expect clear shots, even in poor lighting conditions. One single problem here: Nokia already made 3 phones with the same design (N9, Lumia 800 and 900). Is there room for a fourth one?
