Tôt dans la matinée, le géant finlandais Nokia a officialisé deux nouveaux terminaux mobiles d’entrée de gamme tournant sous environnement S40.

We have seen some lovely Nokia concept phones before, created by the sameJonas Daehnert and now here’s a fresh one. The Nokia Lumia 1001 is even more beautiful than the freshly launched Lumia 920 and 820 and it brings an air of elegance and finesse to the series. The new Lumias are bulky, massive and heavy, but this one seems slimmer.

I particularly like the lower side of the handset, that somehow seems a bit Apple-inspired to me, if I think about the iPhone 5 renders I’ve seen lately, which is a good thing. Under the display that I dare to speculate is a 4.5 inch HD unit, we find 3 capacitive buttons and on the side we find the buttons with a changed look. Gone are those faux metal buttons and here are some faux rubber ones, if I may say so. I can’t seem to spot a camera button, while at the top there’s a mystery tray, that’s actually prety big, big enough to host both the SIM and microSD together.

This is a fantastic design and the choice of color, that brown-gray is interesting. IF you look closely you’ll see that the top part is a bit sloped downwards, which is also a nice touch. I seem to spot a tiny LED next to the audio jack, also a nifty addition. And the front camera is more discrete than ever. And now some speculated specs: 4G LTE, dual core or quad core Snapdragon S4 CPU, 32 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM, 12 megapixel PureView camera and 1280 x 768 pixel resolution. Too bad we can’t see this baby’s back!

We have seen a Nokia phablet before, but it was limited to a Galaxy Note-like diagonal. Now we get a bigger device, a 7.5 inch phablet created by Edgar Mkrtchyan and called Nokia 1002. The device runs Windows 8 and it’s based on a 1.8 GHz quad core processor.

It measures 11 mm in thickness and its screen is a 7.5 inch unit with a 1800 x 900 pixel resolution. Other features include an 8 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, a 3.2 megapixel front camera and the shooter at the back also has a LED flash and 108pp video capture. Nokia 1002 Phablet offers 64 or 128 GB of mass storage, as well as microSD card slot and SkyDrive, plus USB on the go. It has a 8000 mAh battery under the hood and as far as connectivity goes, you get microUSB 3.0, HDMI, DLNA, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and Nokia AV 3.5.

The phablet has pretty much the same virtual keyboard as the Windows Phone and Windows 8 platforms, adapted to the size of the screen and there also seems to be a sort of Home button on the side. I can see there’s also a camera button and the whole Nokia 1002 is a very curved concept tablet. The idea here is to make the screen curved in order to eliminate contact with the ground once the device falls face down. Considering all the features and the OS choice, I’d say that such a phablet would be priced at around $1000 or so.

If you’re looking for a phablet that puts the Galaxy Note II to shame, then you won’t find it in real life. However, in the land of concepts everything is possible, even the purple Nokia Lumia OneNote, created by Ibrahim Sujau. We’re dealing with a 5.5 inch phablet with an AMOLED HD touchscreen display and8.2 mm waistline.

The design is pretty much like the one of the Lumia 900, but with a curved screen and a fancy little stylus. Nokia Lumia OneNote weighs 175 grams and packs a quad core 1.6 GHz processor, as well as 2 GB of RAM. Other features include 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage, a microSDHC card slot and a 12 megapixel rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and HD video recording. There’s also a front 2 megapixel camera and support for HSPA+ connectivity. 4G LTE connectivity is also available, plus Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi.

As far as software goes, the Nokia phablet gets Windows Phone 8 with OneNote MX. As you can see, you can scribble down Math formulae and that circle interface is pretty nice, actually. In the last pic below you can also see some other applications of the business side of this device and how you can use it to complement your work. Pretty cool right? Samsung has nothing on this baby!

You know Edgar Mkrtchyan from the latest Nokia concepts he created and showed us and now he goes back to the Nokia Lumia 720 and redoes it in the form of a very lovely mockup, shown below. The updated Lumia 720 has basically the same design lines, the same curves, but the handset is now thicker, as it has a bigger battery.

It also has an audio jack and microUSB port, bigger speakers and bigger volume sliders and unlock slider. There’s also a secondary functionality for the slider button, that makes the device mute when pushed. Nokia Lumia 720 now has a PureView camera, an 18 megapixel sensor with 1080p video recording, flash Xenon and LED flash as well. There’s a black magnesium lid in the mix, available in cyan and white, too. I guess that the rest of the specs stay unchanged, including the microSIM card slot, microSD card slot, DLNA and the dual core 1.6 GHz processor.

Storage versions are probably 16/32GB as well as one the first Nokia Lumia 720 concept and Windows Phone 8 is definitely the OS. I wonder if the 4.3 inch 1280 x 768 pixel display is still there, but since Edgar didn’t say anything, I guess it’s still the same. Kudos Edgar for this brilliant design!
