Tobias Pankraz imagine the future of Windows Phone 8 devices and created the Nokia 8 WP8 mockup, that you can see below. This is a sharp handset, with rectangular lines and a slab modern metals thrown into a tight shell. The phone has a very discrete camera and an elegant allure, so good job Tobias!

Nokia 8 runs Windows Phone 8, with those smaller tiles, medium tiles and wider, bigger tiles. There’s a 12 megapixel camera at the back and the device has at the bottom the audio jack, the microUSB port and a speaker grille, a design that may remind you of the iPhone 5. Up at the top there’s the earpiece and on/off button, while on the side we have the camera button and the volume buttons. The display is brilliantly integrated into the rectangular case of the Nokia WP8 concept.

If I were to speculate, I’d say this is a 7 mm thick smartphone, with a dual core processor, a 4.5 inch HD display, 1GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. The bezel of the device is extremely thin, almost non existing, fitting with the idea of ClearBlack Display. So, do you fancy this design, or is it too thin?

Jonas Daehnert, the designer who created the beautiful Surface Phone is now back with a Nokia Lumia 910 teaser. This phone has remarkable finesse, a metallic case and an interesting choice of colours, that makes me think about autumn.

Also, the device is less rounded than previous Lumias and much thinner. Nokia Lumia 910 features a 4.3 inch screen without the black screen frame and it’s very, very thin at 6.8mm in waistline. The handset is very compact and its body is made of aluminum. Jonas didn’t detail other specs, since frankly they don’t matter. Windows Phone 8 Apollo runs on multicore CPUs and that’s all you need to know. Pureview is seen by the designer as a good technology, but one that makes the phone ugly.

As I said, the finesse of the phone is great and I like the bigger camera button, as opposed to the smaller camera key that we also saw on the Nokia Pureview 808 handset. I suppose the smartphone has a soft touch area at the bottom, with those Windows Phone keys, that are most likely touch only. So, do you dig this model?

Time to explore Nokia Windows Phone design formats again thanks to Bob Freking, who showed us one of his latest concepts, the Nokia Phoenix. He claims that he likes the PureView phone quite a bit, but he wishes it was thinner, at least 10mm. So, he created a Windows Phone 8 dual core handset with Pureview camera on board.

Bob says that Nokia has the habit of recycling designs, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if one of the first Windows Phone 8 units was based on the PureView 808. Nokia Phoenix features a 31 megapixel camera, a 10 mm thick chassis and this is the first model made by Finns with a 4 inch HD ClearBlack AMOLED display with a density of 367 ppi. This model runs Windows Phone 8 Apollo, features 2GB of RAM and is able to record 1080p full HD video. Also, another premiere: this is the first Nokia smartphone with a dual core ARM15 processor.

As you can see there are smaller tiles on the screen, the new sizes that WP8 brings. This design involves rounded edges and a “band” with keys on it, that feels like a physical button area rather than capacitive. Since this device has a 31MP camera, I wonder what the maximum resolution of photos is…

Bob Freking is back with a fresh design, the one of the Nokia Clarity handset, the first Windows Phone 8 concept since the announcement of the OS this week. The phone combines Metro UI with the latest OS features and a PureView camera. As you can see, we those smaller tiles included in the Metro UI, plus a clearer interface and apparently some way to make the UI transparent.

The phone is a pretty long and wide one, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a 4.7 inch unit. It’s also pretty rounded at the corners and I guess that its screen is a 720p unit. Inside there should be a dual core Qualcomm CPU, unless it’s a quad core, for that extra processing power needs of the PureView camera. Nokia Clarity also supports LTE connectivity, has a 20+ megapixel camera with PureView tech, 64GB of storage, a 2MP front camera, NFC and a 2500 mAh battery.

These are all my speculations that follow the design of Bob Freking, so feel free to take them as a figment of my imagination. I think that this design is pretty good since it manages to deliver a rectangular phone with great width, rounded corners, crisp display and PureView camera, plus WP8 on board. How much would you pay for it?

A while ago we brought you the Nokia Lumia Evolution concept phone, created by LokiBartleby and now he’s back with more pictures and another Nokia design. The handset you see here below is called the Nokia Lumia Elements. Also, at the end of the article you’ll see two new pics of the Lumia Evolution.

As far as the newcomer Nokia Lumia Elements concept is concerned, this model features a 4.3 inch 720p AMOLED CBD display, an aluminum unibody + polycarbonate case with ceramic-like finish and Windows Phone as OS. At the back there’s a 12 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens. The main idea of this Nokia concept is to get some metal into the Lumia series, that seems to focus on plastic materials. As far as the elements go, I find it very cool, especially the back side and especially the audio jack, that looks like the barrel of a gun.

At the front the device looks like a more modern Symbian device and it’s not that far from Nokia 808 PureView actually. Nokia Lumia Evolution seems more plasticky, has a pretty big speaker at the inferior side and a very pretty glassy and glossy facade. Which one do you fancy more?

And here we are with a brand new Nokia Windows Phone concept, the Lumia Evolution, that seems to feature a camera with a dual flash. This is a Windows Phone 8 Apollo model with a pretty thin waistline and somehow it reminds me a bit of the Nokia Lumia 710, although I hope it swapped its plastic back for metal.

The interesting bit is the lower side where the speaker is and the cute little audio jack with teh rounded segment around it. Also, notice how the Home button with the Windows symbol has evolved. As far as the hardware of the Nokia Lumia Evolution goes, we have here a 4.5 inch HD screen, 64 GB of internal memory and most likely a dual core CPU made by Qualcomm. Intel could also be part of this initiative, but I’m not sure they’ll be ready with a good enough CPU to use on a phone meant to sell millions of units.

AT the back I expect something like a 12MP camera with PureView technology, maybe some 4G LTE, NFC and the latest in Bluetooth and WiFi tech. This concept looks pretty realistic and it’s finally a break from all those Nokia N9 copycats… Do you like it? This concept was created by Deviantart user LokiBartleby.
