Nokia N95 was a fantastic phone when it came out and it was way ahead of its time and competition. Now, Bob Freking proposes us a follow-up to the device, the Nokia Lumia 95, a device that runs Windows Phone 8 on top of 4GB of RAM and packs a fantastic 20 megapixel camera. The handset relies on a sliding keyboard design, as seen below.
Nokia Lumia 95 uses a 20.3 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera with Xenon and LED flash and support for super smooth 1080p video capture. Inside the device there’s a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo mobile processor from Intel with x86 architecture. This model is running Windows Phone 8, that integrates Windows 8 functions within it, including the possibility to run .exe files and “extreme gaming”, according to the designer. That extreme gaming is done with the aid of an AMD Radeon HD Mobile Graphic Card.
A 2500 mAh battery is powering up this rig and there’s also a front facing camera in the mix, as well as a Nokia ClearBlack Display with HD resolution. This certainly sounds like a phone that’s ahead of its time, but we might see something like this on the market in 2013, to be honest… To me this design looks like a Nokia N900, that was a fantastic smartphone in its days and even continues to be for some people.

After the crazy success of the Nokia Tab Windows 8 tablet concept, now we have another similar design, this time created by YrOnimuS (Jonas Daehnert). He envisions a slate that reminds me a bit of the Nokia N9, but in a larger form factor, that involves a 11.6 inch AMOLED screen and a very thin case. There’s a good chance that the real device might look like this, when it will be unveiled at Nokia Connection 2012.
Nokia 1 Tablet measures 8.5mm in thickness, weighs 580 grams, supports a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution and comes with a 5 megapixel camera at the back with 1080p video capture at 30 fps. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera at the front, 32/64GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, a Li-Po 7500 mAh battery and the OS of choice is Windows 8 ARM Edition. This Nokia tablet concept also includes an active digitizer, based on Wacom technology.
Such a slim and light tablet with Wacom tech and the latest in Microsoft software might become the Hub of your Office experience and a brilliant tool for trendsetting designers and people who draw/create art/sketches and more. Since we handle designer concepts every day, I’ll ask you: is this tablet ideal for a person who draws on the go?

After supposedly starting work on a Windows 8 tablet, Nokia now plans to reinvent the iPod… or at least the Zune, if the picture below is to be believed. This photo was taken during a recent T-Mobile event that was the official unveiling of the Nokia Lumia 710 Windows Phone device.
The gadget here is a 3 inch unit that’s described as a pocket tablet and seems to be some sort of media player. Also, this gizmo is WiFi only according to rumors and it might be an attempt from Nokia and Microsoft to resurrect the Zune. This “Nokia iPod” seems to be adopt the form factor or the Nokia Lumia 800 and the N9, with curved sides and flat ends. In the end it could still be a phone and we could be misinformed, but these are details from the people who were actually there.
Would you buy an iPod/Zune made by Nokia and sporting Microsoft software? Is there a need for such a device? Boredatwork has one extra picture.

Cameron McKinnon is a name I haven’t heard before, but also a name I’ll remember when Nokia finally launches its Windows 8 tablet. Cameron is the creator of the beautiful Nokia Tab concept tablet shown below, running Windows 8 on top of an ARM based processor. This device is inspired by the Nokia N9 phone and by the Sony Tablet S, according to the designer.
Nokia Tab uses a massive 14.3 inch display, a 12 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss lens, plus Microsoft Kinect motion capture support through a front camera. The gadget is 12mm in thickness, it has 1GB of memory, a 64GB or 128GB HDD and it will be available in WiFi or WiFi + 4G models, if it’s ever made. It also has a SD card slot, a SIM card slot, USB 3.0 and micro USB 2.0 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack. Nokia’s concept tablet runs Windows 8 ARM Edition and its design also involves ergonomic curves for comfortable holding in portrait and landscape mode.
There’s also a power button with LED light in the mix, a camera button and the screen is curved making Windows 8 gestures more natural. The screen has a slope so that it’s easier to type on it and the bulkier side makes this look a bit like the Sony Tablet S. What do you think of this unique Nokia Windows 8 tablet? Would you buy one?

Shaik Imaduddin sent us a couple of Nokia Windows Phone concepts, that are shown in the video below. There’s also a pic he sent us, the one of a device he calls the Nokia Lumia 850. It reminds me a bit of a larger Nokia Lumia 800 or the Nokia Lumia 900 if you want, with a touch of Samsung Omnia 7.
This is a Windows Phone 7.5 Mango device that probably packs a 4.3 inch display, a 1.4GHz single core processor and an 8 megapixel camera at the back. There’s also a camera button in here, on the side and the layout of the keys is similar to the Lumia 800. Considering the model name, I’m expecting slight upgrades of the handset, maybe in the camera section, maybe in the internal hardware. I see that people commenting on the video below were pretty harsh, which is no way to treat someone who’s just starting designing phones.
The may be angry about the very sharp edges of some of the Windows Phone Nokia concepts, but really… 8 dislikes for the video?! I spotted at least two interesting handsets right here. I’m not saying they’re Ret Dot Design Awards material, but still… maybe some pointers on what the designer did wrong will help. What do you say?

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.

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?

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 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!

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?
