It’s been a while since I’ve see a Nokia device with a portrait sliding QWERTY form factor… let alone one with a touchscreen display and a keyboard of this type. Meet the Nokia Touch & Type True concept, created by FireDragon and published on Mynokiablog.com. The handset is supposedly from the C2-06 range and it comes with a main home button below the display.
This dream Nokia is pocketable, user-friendly, made for single hand use, it has an optical trackpad and a 3.2 inch touchscreen display. The phone runs Nokia Belle on top of a 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and 4 or 8 GB of internal storage, plus a microSD card slot. A 5/8 megapixel camera is on board, as well as a front cam, for videocalling. And finally, the Nokia Touch & Type slider comes with GPS, WiFi, USB otg, a kickstand and a 1700 mAh battery, that should provide a long time of functioning.
Know that the camera on this device is able to scan a business card with readable content and the main appeal of the phone you see here is the ability to type very fast on its portrait QWERTY keyboard. The designer dismisses landscape sliders, finding them annoying and disturbing when traveling and during meetings.

Nokia Diamond is a concept created by Richard Malachowski, from China, who envisions a device with sharp edges and corners and overall and aerodynamic and aggressively shaped smartphone. This Nokia design also involves a triangle-shaped camera sensor and a back side that seems to sport a wood surface. The device may have the many corners of a diamond, but still it’s able to sit right on a flat surface.
With so many corners on the Nokia Diamond one would expect it to sting the user’s hand, to be honest. Also, it can feel a bit uncomfortable in the palm of the user, but at least it’s unique in form factor and it looks very light and slim. I have no real specs for this model, so I suppose we’re dealing with a 4 inch touch display smartphone with Clear Black AMOLED technology, Symbian Belle or MeeGo as the OS of choice, 1 GB of RAM, a 1GHz processor and a 5 or 8 megapixel camera at the back.
The volume buttons on this baby also seem to be wooden, just like the battery cover, while the rest of the phone might as well be polycarbonate. Of course, the wood-like side can be an imitation, but I doubt Nokia would resort to such materials. In the end I see this as a fashion phone, considering its shape, name, materials and form factor.

Sent to us by wp7__fan, the Nokia Style concept is a device based on Windows Phone Tango and its specs include a 12 megapixel camera and the design features you can see pictured below. It reminds me a bit of the HTC HD7 combined with an iPhone 4 and that facade with the capacitive buttons doesn’t look that realistic.
Nokia Style features a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, a 32GB internal memory, a 2400 mAh battery and a 2 megapixel camera at the front, but other than that I have no idea what features this model has. I guess that it also supports LTE, NFC and maybe 1080p video capture, courtesy of that potent camera. With recent rumors that Nokia is preparing a Lumia 910 model with 12MP, I’d say that it would have similar specs to this unit, maybe apart from the Windows Phone Tango part…
I would have liked to see the back side of this model, as I have a feeling that it looks very much like the one of a HTC smartphone. wp7__fan, the designer of the Nokia Style mentions that his concept sports a metallic unibody case.
[Thanks wp7__fan]

Deviantart member Qromodynmc created a very colorful
Nokia concept phone, dubbed YosePhone, that can be seen below. The key here is borrowing some element from the Nokia N8 and the N9 maybe and another important factory is asymmetry. Notice hone the left side is different from the right one, especially at the back and so is the lower area and upper side.
I can see this as the long awaited follow-up to the Nokia N8, with a potent 16 megapixel camera (it has been done by HTC Titan II at CES 2012), dual LED or maybe dual Xenon flash and some powerful speakers. The screen seems like an edge to edge affair, maybe a 4 inch Super AMOLED screen with a qHD or even HD resolution. Other than that I’m expecting a dual core processor inside and maybe some of that promised Symbian Donna action I’ve been hearing about.
What would you want to see on this phone and what other Nokia model do you think it resembles? Also, what OS do you fancy on it? As I said, I see it as Symbian Donna material…

You must’ve heard that Nokia decided to give up the name Symbian, simply naming the OS on its handsets Nokia Belle/Anna etc. Thus, this Nokia Hercule concept doesn’t run Symbian Donna, but rather Nokia Donna OS, to make it clear. This design, mockup or whatever you want to call it was done by Rawad Semaan and I have to say that it’s a breath of fresh air from current designs.
Nokia Hercule uses a 2GHz Scorpion CPU (Qualcomm MSM8255), an Adreno 205 GPU and a 4.7 inch S-LCD screen with 480 x 800 pixel display. The screen aspect sounds identical to the one on the HTC Sensation XL and HTC Titan, which is not necessarily bad. We get a surprising internal memory of 60GB, 1GB of RAM, 4G connectivity and Bluetooth 3.0, plus microUSB 3.0. At the back there’s an 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, dual LED flash, geotagging and 720p video capture.
There’s also a secondary 5MP camera and an accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity sensor and compass fill in the blanks of the hardware specs. Seeing the back of this Nokia concept, I can imagine that the texture on its back feels very nice in the user’s hand and those elegant lines remind me of an Armani suit. What do you think about this device and what do you think it lacks?
[Thanks Rawad Semaan]

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.
[Thanks Bob!]

Don’t we just adore a concept Nokia made by the Finns? We’ve just come across a new image of a Symbian Belle model that hasn’t been launched and it’s not even a certain product yet… This piece of design was spotted in a recent NFC demo video showcasing the features of this short range technology on Nokia models.
We can compare this unit with a Nokia 700 with a strange chin, or maybe a Nokia 5800, that has been made thinner, lighter and more rounded. Some say that this unit looks very much like the iPhone 4, but frankly what doesn’t look like an Apple handset these days? The real appeal here is Symbian Belle and the fact that this looks like a lower model than the previously leaked Belle units, so we might actually get a good price for a phone like this.
If Nokia decided to implement a curved display on this model, it would look like a Nexus S, but it still would be pretty hot. From the looks of it, this Nokia concept phone is pretty glossy and it should have a 5MP camera at the back and maybe a 800 MHz – 1GHz CPU inside.

Nokia HG-1 is a new concept created by Conny Larsson, who imagined a hourglass design and the Maemo 5 desktop on board. There’s also the Android option for this device, that doesn’t seem quite pocket friendly, but rather something to put on the table or shelf.
This model is thicker at its lower and upper edges, while the center is slimmer and completely made of glass, incorporating the display. The same glass can transform semi transparent or opaque, according to the user’s preferences. There are also pressure sensitive sidebars on this model, that replace navigation buttons.
Strangely enough, the Nokia HG-1 comes with 3 microUSB ports, making us think of connecting to a PC, display and projector at the same time. A mini HDMI port is also on board and if you’re wondering about thickness, the bulkier sides could be about 10mm, while the slim side is about 3-4mm.

Here we are again, with a beautiful
Nokia concept phone, one created by Mohammed Shihuzaan. Dubbed the Nokia N10, this model is a triple boot phone, that runs Android 2.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, Windows Phone Mango and MeeGo Harmattan.
It’s got a white anodized aluminum casing and a very unusual design. I have to say that I haven’t quite seen a lot of asymmetrical industrial designs, but this is one of them. The unit is curved to the left side and the right side bezel is certainly larger than the almost non existing one on the left. Nokia N10 uses a 3.9 inch capacitive screen with 480 x 854 pixel resolution.
LED buttons are placed at the bottom, each with a different use in different operating systems. The specs of the N10 also include 1GB of RAM, Dolby Mobile sound enhancement, 16GB/32GB of internal memory and a dual core 1.2GHz processor. An 8 megapixel camera is found at the back, complete with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual LED flash and 1080p 30 fps video capture.
This model also resembles a sail pretty much, which is a very original approach to industrial design.

We’re waiting for a Windows Phone Nokia model so bad right now, that the handset below would just kill competition. The Nokia W97 is sadly a mere concept for now, created by Deviantart member
sidrocks, who did an excellent job.
We can only suppose that Windows Phone 7.1 Mango OS in board and that 5 row QWERTY keyboard looks incredible comfy, reminding me a bit of the days of the Nokia N900. You also get the classic capacitive buttons at the button of the touchscreen (which we guess is it at least 4.3 inches in diagonal).
It’s interesting to also see answer/reject keys on the sides of the normal WP7 capacitive buttons. Give this baby impressive battery life and maybe a way to view the Home screen in Windows Phone in landscape mode and it’ll be huge!
