Designer Reginald Shola Hingston shows us another one of his Nokia concepts, after the Nokia Stealth model. This time we’re dealing with the Nokia 82 Dragonfly, pictured below and keeping the simplistic design language of the Finnish company.
This is supposed to be an entry level phone, packing a numeric keypad, a navigation mechanism beneath the screen, probably a camera at the back and a pretty big screen. Here’s another look at Reginald Shola Hingston’s works.

While Nokia’s busy with readying a bunch of new smarphones and cameraphones, we have a look at a new concept bearing their branding, the Nokia Stealth. Created by Reginald Shola Hingston, this mid level handset is destined to reach the pockets of tech enthusiasts and you can learn what it’s all about after the break.
The Nokia concept comes with an ergonomically sculpted keypad, that allows the user to easily navigate by touch sensation, plus a rubberised matte textured surface, that absorbs light on radii, giving a feeling of flat facets. Nokia Stealth also uses a pearlescent matte coloring, that gives it a dark red hue, reminding us of radar lenses.
For more projects of this designer you can have a look at his Coroflot profile.

Symbian went completely open source these days and we’ve also found out that the platform will be used on netbooks and tablets in the near future. This statement was made by Symbian Foundation CEO Lee Williams and one such “device of the future” is pictured below.
The portable gadget is part of Nokia “Vision of 2015″ video, shown after the break, below. This clip includes a bunch of concepts and prototypes made by the Finnish company, probably meant to feature Tegra 2 and OMAP4 solutions. Word has it that Symbian was already ported to the Intel Atom processor, in a project called Wild Duck.
Since Nokia’s Booklet 3G is real, should we also expect to see a Nokia Tablet in 1 or 2 years?

There were a few Nokia fans who regretted the canning of the N-Gage gaming phone series, but there is still hope for this idea, specially if you believe in concepts. The folks of Recombu created the Nokia Ovi Orion, a gaming phone design, pictured below.
Nokia Ovi Orion looks like a combo between a Palm Pre and an iPhone, with a strange QWERTY keyboard and a hidden one line display at the back. This bizarre design might make gaming more user-friendly, but what’s really important is the front multitouch capacitive touchscreen, with a huge diagonal, hopefully.
We wouldn’t be surprised if a Tegra or Snapdragon CPU was on board too, as well as HDMI out and a decent bunch of speakers. The question is: does Nokia have the software platform for such a device? Here’s a short video demo of the concept gaming phone:

It’s been a while since we last saw an eco-friendly concept phone, specially one with the Nokia branding on it. Thankfully, we’ve stumbled upon the work of designer Daizi Zheng, the original device pictured below, an eco-friendly Nokia phone powered by sugary drinks.
Daizi claims that the phone battery, used as a power source is too expensive and harmful for nature, specially in the disposal process. She has an alternative for normal batteries, that is the bio battery, an eco-friendly source of energy that uses carbohydrates (sugar in this case) and enzymes as the catalyst for the process needed to produce energy.
One pack of sugary drink will include enough carbohydrates for your phone to work, also generating water and energy, when the battery dies. Bio batteries have the potential to work three to four times longer with a single charge, compared to the Lithium batteries used today.
The idea is brilliant, but what about the handset’s design? How would you feel, carrying such a flask in your pocket?

Jon DeGorsky created a brand new Nokia concept phone, the M31, that impresses through its dual touchscreen displays. It seems that the handset is inspired by crop circles, in the visual department.
The two integrated displays are revealed after sliding the phone and you have to know that the top screen will show contacts, Internet browsing features, a mailbox, messaging functions, games, calendar and settings.
Nokia M31’s inner display provides the virtual numeric keyboard, also the interface changing bar and the “letter interface”. I can also spot a camera at the back of the handset and all in all, the device is pretty good, albeit a tad too short for my taste.

Designer Clement Logereau created a pretty interesting Nokia concept phone, dubbed Unik. This is a fashion handset with a back side made out of 152 customizable small squares, that can be switched to create new models, with different colors and materials (metal, transparent components, rubber and more).
This can be called “an artistic cellphone”, since Nokia Unik lets you play with its looks and I have to say that this concept reminds me a lot of a similar idea bearing the Benq Siemens branding.
I can see that major trendy brands like D&G, Mini, Diesel or Nike will have their own parts available for Unik.

We’ve seen quite a bunch of transparent phone designs lately, but none of them had the Nokia brand on. Luckily, designer Juan Carlos Garzon created one such Nokia concept, with a touchscreen interface and a transparent display.
The lower side of the handset includes the battery, most of the hardware, incorporates the on/off button (front side) and a 5 megapixel camera (at the back). This Nokia concept’s display also emits light, allowing for better usage during night time.
A stunning design and a great idea!

Loading ...Nokia’s usual demo of future technology is once again loose, this time showing how mobile technology will look like in 2015. The company’s head of corporate strategy, Heikki Norta tells us how we’ll be living 6 years from now, surrounded by touch UIs and high tech devices. Here’s the video:
The key words for this not so remote future are augmented reality, omnipresent connectivity, dual display handsets, micro projectors, laser keyboards and basically anything we’ve seen as a concept, but turned into reality. A huge network aggregator will be at the core of the services and software, connecting hundreds of millions of users.
Intelligent devices will stay in sync, provide weather, financial and other types of updates and some uber-cool sharing options will also be available. Dreamy? Yes… and somewhat scary.

This Nokia concept phone may look familiar to you, specially because we’ve seen it here a while back, under the name Black Facet. Now, it appears again, dubbed Nokia Facet and this seems to be the work of Knot Design, a cellphone project that provides users with a brand new touch experience.
Nokia Facet uses “facets” that hide a tactile keypad beneath the surface and also give the handset a gem-like look, thanks to the many angles of the geometric surface. Multimedia connectivity is also supported on the Nokia concept and if we were to look for flaws, the device seems a bit too square-ish and short for our taste.
