900 MeeGo Harmattan 2 Concept
15/12/2011 15:34
The Nokia Windows Phone 8 concept from the other day has a follow-up, from the same Mohammed Shihuzaan, this time coming forth with a MeeGo Harmattan 2 device. Meet the Nokia 900, a handset we’ve heard so much about, but only as a potential future Lumia model codenamed Ace.

Nokia 900 adopts a curvy concave screen, a Clear Black FOLED 4 inch display with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, a dual core 1.4 GHz processor and a 14 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss technology, autofocus and Xenon flash. The same camera offers a super wide 28mm lens and supports 1024p HD video capture at 30 fps.
There’s also a 2 megapixel camera at the front, a 16/64GB of storage and the rich specs list doesn’t end here, instead it continues with Dolby audio technology, HDMI, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi 802.11 b/g/, HSDPA, WiFi, GPS and digital compass. 512MB of ROM, 1GB of RAM, a Li-Ion 1450 mAh battery are also present and a nice touch is the Alien Dalvik emulator, that brings Android to this MeeGo concept phone.

Lumia 802 Concept
15/12/2011 15:33
After so many designs from other brands, Nokia is back to amaze us, courtesy of Mohammed Shihuzaan, who created the Nokia Lumia 802 concept with Windows Phone 8. Also called Apollo, this OS will possibly bring a couple of changes that will turn the OS battle in Microsoft’s favor. And here’s what the new device could look like:

Nokia Lumia 802 is supposed to feature a 3.7 inch display with 480 x 800 pixel resolution, a polycarbonate body (cyan, blue, black color versions) and a curved Gorilla Glass screen. There’s also NFC on board, a front 2 megapixel camera and a main 8 megapixel Carl Zeiss cam at the back with dual LED Flash. The new Nokia concept also offers a card slot, HDMI out and USB OTG.
The OS looks very crisp, the tiles seem to be a bit bigger and the handset keeps some elements from the Nokia N9/Lumia 800 design, but also tweaks it a bit and gives it a more rounded form factor. I wonder if the public will be more fond of a curved Nokia smartphone, or maybe they will prefer the rectangular shape with rounded edges. What do you think?

Lumia 601
15/12/2011 15:31
If there’s one thing that we’re crazy about, aside from concepts then that’s renders. Luckily I stumbled upon a fresh Nokia design, that supposedly belongs to the Lumia 601 handset. Here’s what I’m talking about:

Not so long ago Nokia published a developer-oriented video featuring a large display Windows Phone device, that was supposed to be the Nokia 900 Ace leaked handset. Since then this model has been removed, but in the meantime the image above appeared and people started talking about the Nokia Lumia 601 unit as the identity of this leak. It appears that the picture has a reliable source inside Nokia, so the phone’s name is a pretty sure thing.
If we’re to judge by the name, this model belongs to the lower end of the Nokia portofolio, so there aren’t many reasons to get excited here. This is Windows Phone after all, plus a design that doesn’t quite surprise or impress me. We have no specs to go with the image, but we spotted what looks like an 8 megapixel camera at the back of the smartphone. People who are familiar with design and saw this image say that it’s a clear case of Photoshop action. What do you think?

Nokia GEM Concept
15/12/2011 15:30
Nokia has been on a roll lately, showing us no less than 3 concepts, some of them showcased at Nokia World 2011. This is the third one actually, Nokia GEM, a device that prides itself with being a handset that was turned into an entire touchscreen. There’s also an interesting comic-book like video in the source link below, in case you want extra info.

Nokia GEM was launched to celebrate 25 years of existence of the Nokia Research Centre and this device is all about the touchscreen it incorporates on its front, back and sides. The back is also interactive, so you can pinch to zoom from the rear, without cluttering the front screen. This function also comes in handy when using maps and probably games too, as proved by the Sony PS Vita.
Senior Design Manager Jarkko Saunamäki is the one who lead the team that created GEM and recently claimed that once you launch an app, for example the camera application, the entire phone will begin to look like a camera. How? Well, there’s an entire image wrapped around the phone, since it’s a whole touchscreen after all. The coolest thing about this device is that it also allows people to carry advertising on the back of the handset when making calls, so they would get a discount on bills. How cool is that? 3D images viewed from all angles are also supported!

Nokia HumanForm
15/12/2011 15:27
We’ve been hearing a lot about Nokia flexible phones lately, with a prototype being even demoed at Nokia World 2011. This may be no Nokia Morph, but it’s surely interesting enough to make us think about the future. And now there’s a new project called the HumanForm, that looks like the pics you see below.

Created by Nokia Design and Nokia Research Center, HumanForm is all about flexibility and bendable phones. The result is a touchscreen device that looks like a thermometer or a feminine accessory, that seems to only fit a vertical row of icons on its small display. The device allows physical manipulation and nanotechnology allows data to float on the screen like liquid.
Thus a flow of social networking info is created and you must know that the entire case of the HumanForm device is a touchscreen, while flexing the handset is also a means of control. Bend to zoom is supported for example, as shown in the video in our source link. A small phone doesn’t necessarily mean small features, keep that in mind… Is this Nokia futuristic design the real future?
