Nokia Lumia 1 Tablet by Jonas Daehnert, Take 2

(4 votes, average: 3.75 out of 5)

Jonas Daehnert is the creator of some of the best Nokia concepts out there, including smartphones and tablets. A few months ago he rendered a Nokia tablet that became the landmark for all the designs that followed. Now he remakes that design into a modern gallery.

Obviously, the Nokia Lumia tablet borrows from the Lumia phones, rather the first generation of Fabula Design than the latest. We get a slim device with what seems to be a metal and plastic case with rounded corners and a rectangular form factor. The Nokia tablet is expected to have a 10.1 inch display with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution and it could run Windows 8 or Windows RT.

The device already leaked on the web, apparently and sources say it will have a dual core or quad core 1 GHz CPU, 1 GB of RAM, a 9.7 mm thick chassis and it will weigh 676 grams. The biggest and riskiest bet Nokia can make here is implementing Windows RT on this device, but with Windows Blue coming, they may not need to do that, since Blue will supposedly replace it.

Nexus 5 Concept Has Huge Battery, 8 GB of RAM and 32 MP Camera

(17 votes, average: 2.88 out of 5)

There was trend at some point to crazy concept phones with crazy specs, but that has dwindled down lately. Well, now it’s back again courtesy of the design below, created by TheTechnoToast. We’re dealing with a Nexus  handset made by LG yet again and packing some crazy futuristic specs.

This device runs Android 4.3 and features a 32 megapixel camera at the back, that’s able to shoot up to 4K resolution video. Inside the LG Nexus 5 there’s an 8 core processor, 8 GB of RAM and a 7000 mAh battery, that probably takes up the most room inside the phone. The battery is supposed to last an entire week on a single charge.

NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, LTE are all included here, as well as a removable back that’s spring loaded. The idea is that if you push the back, the glass plate will spring up and you’ll access the microSD card slot, dual SIM slots and the battery. The screen upfront is a 4.8 inch display with Full HD resolution. The Nexus 5 is slimmer than the Nexus 4 and a bit heavier. Both the front and back of the smartphone are covered in Gorilla Glass 4, unbreakable glass.

iPhone 6 is Compact But Has a Bigger Screen and Customizable UI

(18 votes, average: 1.67 out of 5)

Created by Deviantart user Fishbertus, this iPhone 6 concept is the same size as the iPhone 5, but this time the screen takes up the entire front of the phone. We’ve got a big display, probably around 4.5 inches or more and an Ultra HD interface.

Apps are “themed” and the handset’s UI is highly customizable. The Home button has now become a touch button and you can place the apps under the toolbar if you want, or at the top if need be. Wallpapers now get a 7+ megapixel area for animated shots and interactive wallpapers, like on Android. I guess that there may be some hardcore hardware features on this model.

Something like a 13 megapixel camera possibly made by Sony, an 8 core Apple AXX CPU, 2 GB of RAM, 32 to 128 GB of storage, LTE+ (crazy, right?) and en edge to edge display with 2K resolution. All of these specs are speculated by me, but they seem realistic for the end of 2014.

Windows Phone 8.1 Blue Concept Brings Interesting Notification System

(27 votes, average: 3.48 out of 5)

There’s a fresh fan made Windows Phone 8.1 Blue concept, that finally brings a decent notification system to Microsoft’s platform. The renders were created by Yanko Andreev for 1800PocketPC and they show a new approach to the UI and functions of WP.

Andreev added more Live Tile sizes, got rid of the margins on the left and right sides of the Start screen (totally) and also added groups for app lists. There’s also a new Device Center, listing stuff like the device’s battery life, brightness level and this one can be displayed at the top or bottom of the screen.

There’s also the option to have a list of recent notifications from apps. The designer also included cloud syncing here, with all the settings, files, preferences and browser favourites being synced between all sorts of Windows devices. Windows Phone 8.1 is also said to bring Full HD screen support and 5 inch diagonals. We also get a Files app, a file manager that looks very hot, as shown in the source link below.

What do you think of this new version of Windows Phone?

Nokia Lumia EOS Concept Phone With Aluminum Body Gets Rendered

(31 votes, average: 4.32 out of 5)

Now that the Nokia Lumia 925 Catwalk is official, it’s time for the EOS phone to come. DAVDesigner from Deviantart had an idea of what the device may look like, so he imagined the Nokia Lumia 960 “Catwalk”, although that codename has already been revealed.

Anyway, this is probably the Nokia EOS phone that we’re expecting in the following weeks. The device seems to have those side identations like on the iPhone, probably for the sake of the antenna. This Nokia concept uses an aluminum body, a thin one, with dual speakers at the back. We’ve got a potent Pureview camera at the back with Carl Zeiss Tessar technology and Pureview technology.

The resolution is unknown, although something like 20 or 41 megapixels may happen. The recent rumors talk about a Xenon flash here, as well as a focus assist light and a special lid for the camera lens. The specs are supposedly similar to the Lumia 920′s including a dual core CPU and 4.5 inch 768p display. The camera will probably be the bigshot here…

Nokia Lumia 901 Render Brings New Facade

(22 votes, average: 2.41 out of 5)

Suman Chatterjee brings us a new Nokia concept phone, the Lumia 901, that reminds me of the HTC 8S, especially in the lower side. Considering the naming pattern of the device, I expect something like a lower specced Lumia 920.

As you can see at the back we’ve got a Carl Zeiss lens camera, with dual LED flash and possibly an 8 MP Pureview sensor. The front part is the interesting bit, with an original upper and lower side, that may feel a bit like the HTC 8S. The lower one is pretty basic, but the upper one is more original and gives the Nokia Lumia 901 a more solid feeling.

With a facade that has bigger upper and lower edges you feel that the phone is more solid and resilient, since more glass may feel like more weakness. Hope you get what I’m trying to say here, although people considering all glass facades fashionable nowadays. The phone is totally rectangular and I can’t see any rounded areas here, so it may feel sharp in the hand, like the Xperia Z. What do you make of this Nokia render?

Nintendo Smartphone Concept Looks Appealing, Better Than Wii U (Video)

(28 votes, average: 4.14 out of 5)

Nintendo has been struggling a bit to sell the Wii U and recently there was a rumor that they may implement Android smartphone games on this console. Now, straight from T3 comes a brand new concept phone: the Nintendo smartphone.

The device looks a bit like a futuristic Samsung Galaxy S concept, one that’s very thin and has two interesting physical buttons at the bottom, aside from the Home one. The plus and minus button were also present on the Wiimote, which you probably know if you’ve seen it. The Nintendo phone comes as an answer to the new Xbox and the PS4.

Obviously you get a ton of Nintendo games, all of them running natively on the device. The lower area of the device totally reminds me of an iPad Mini and the specs of the Nintendo phone include a 5 inch Full HD AMOLED screen, 2 GB of RAM, Nvidia Tegra 5 graphics and a 2 GHz Snapdragon 8 core CPU. There’s also Wii U Chat on board, basically a Facetime alternative, Wii U connectivity support and a Community app with leaderboards, achievements and Cross Play is here as well.

There’s even a gamepad accessory pictured above… How cool is this gizmo?

Nokia Paragon Runs Android With Nokia UI, Offers 3 Day Battery Life

(44 votes, average: 2.77 out of 5)

Remember the Nokia Paragon teaser? Well, Bob Freking finished the concept and you can check it out below, as it has some impressive goodies. Those include Android with Nokia UI on top and a huge battery life. Also, guess what… the phone is indestructible.

Nokia Paragon features a 4.5 inch ClearBlack AMOLED PureMotion HD+ display with Full HD resolution and a 1.8 GHz quad core Snapdragon 800 processor. It has the Adreno 330 GPU, 2 GB of RAM and a 21 megapixel Pureview camera with Full HD video capture. We also get excellent low light capture, image stabilization, lossless zoom and more. There’s a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera with 720p video capture and Android 4.2.1 as the OS.

This Nokia Android phone features a specific Nokia UI that somehow reminds me of that OS on Nokia Asha 501. We get Nokia Music on it, Here Maps, Cinemagraph, City Lens and all the goodies typical to a Lumia. This concept relies on a 3,500 mAh non removable battery, that should provide about 3 days of use. By the way this device does wireless charging and is virtually indestructible.

The design is very well thought and although the case is pretty wide, there’s a certain elegance to this Nokia concept.

[Thanks Bob Freking]

Micromax Canvas HD+, Brand New Phone Mockup for India

(21 votes, average: 3.10 out of 5)

Suman Chatterjee brings us a new concept, the Micromax Canvas HD+, so soon after the last Micromax device he designed. We’re dealing here with a bit of a flagship, considering those high end specs. These hardware features are based on recent demands by you, our readers.

Micromax Canvas HD+ features a 5 inch Super AMOLED Plus Full HD screen, a 13 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and a 2 megapixel front cam as well.

Inside the Micromax concept phone we find a quad core 1.5 GHz processor (unknown type, maybe Qualcomm or MediaTek), 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage. The device runs Android 4.3, packs a 2300 mAh battery and it’s both water and dust resistant. Would you buy this interesting Indian smartphone?

iPad Mini 2 Render and Some Specs Come From Holland

(23 votes, average: 1.70 out of 5)

Straight from our source at Mobileaks comes a new iPad Mini 2 image, a render to be precise. Last I heard, the Retina iPad Mini was delayed, because of some production problems of the display panels.

Anyway, the iPad Mini 2 rendered by Mobileaks features a 7.9 inch screen with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and 324 pixel density. There’s an Apple A6X processor inside, an 8 megapixel camera at the back and a 2 megapixel front shooter. We’ve got either 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage and a case that’s 7.5 mm thick.

The edge of the display is even smaller than the one on the iPad Mini, if you ask me. It appears that although the diagonal is similar, this model will actually be more compact than its predecessor. By the way, the CPU inside it should sound familiar, since it also powered the iPad 4. So, are you impressed?
