Many people are discontent with the current Nokia N8, so they dream about changing the handset and improving its specifications. Iffan Morasilp from Thailand stopped dreaming and started designing, so he created the Nokia N8-01 Touch and Play handset. You’ll learn the specs of the concept after the break.
The smartphone comes with a 3.7 inch Gorilla Glass display, an 8MP Carl Zeiss camera with support for 1080p video capture, a D-pad and gaming keys. HDMI is also on board, as well as support for 4G connectivity and Dolby Digital Plus. It’s very likely that this is a Symbian^3 phone, although most of the Nokia concepts we’ve seen lately are based on MeeGo…

Actually, the Nokia N10 MeeGo phone might become real in a matter of months, so it’s a bit unfair to call this design a concept. The idea of the phone below belongs to Peter Lackman, who created the Nokia N10, based on Nokia and Intel’s jointly developed platform.
No specs list sadly, but we know the handset comes with a huge screen (4 inches maybe?), the 12MP camera on the N8 plus quad LED flash, HDMI and a 4 row tilt hinge QWERTY keyboard. NFC is also included and there’s a nifty video showing the MeeGo UI running on the concept right here:
Can’t really say what’s lacking from this handset… Gigs of internal memory? WiMAX? A projector? What else?

Here’s the Nokia cellphone concept of 2030, in case you wanted a taste of the future… Created by Jim Chan, the Nokia 2030 features a scratch-resistant finished body, plus a full color display and an illuminated touch keypad.
Fast messaging is the purpose of this unit and we learn that the phone measures 2 x 4.75 x 0.25 inches and attaches colored films at the rear, to change its color. Polished titanium is the choice of metal for the case area that protects the screen. This handset looks like some sort of futuristic keycard that grants access to a high tech facility and we bet it’ll have e-wallet features and a transparent UI.

We’re back with another Nokia MeeGo concept phone, this time one with present day specs, so no futuristic features here. We’re talking about the Nokia Aura, packing a 4 inch touchscreen display, a slim case and a 12MP camera with Xenon flash, plus HDMI. Basically, this MeeGo phone is a bigger N8 with a very appealing design.
The device’s profile is convex on both sides, something you won’t find on many mobile phones, plus it’ll aid with the ergonomics. Nokia Aura’s body is made out of aluminum, for a lighter handset and a more quality feel to it. The rest of the devices specs include a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm audio jack, a camera button and a microUSB connector.

Foldable phones are a niche that wasn’t exploited by designers lately, but we got the trend back thanks to Chris Wang, who created the Nokia E10 concept. This device looks really nice and comes with a foldable display, that’s made out of flexible material.
Also, the screen is thin enough to roll around a 6 mm axis, thus saving space. Nokia E10 is all about flexibility, both in interface and design, so it becomes a normal phone when folded up, allowing you to use a standard touchscreen. Through it you’ll make phone calls, send texts and mail, play games and perform other standard activities.
If you unfold the handset, you’ll turn it into a tablet-like unit, supporting high-def pictures and video viewing plus extra space for web browsing. Touch control is also supported and the unit is powered with the aid of 3 solar batteries, that are complemented by a Lithium battery. This is possibly the most complex MeeGo device we’ve seen so far, so we say congratulations to the designer, Chris Wang.

I guess that this is the first MeeGo concept phone, unless we’ve missed a handset or two lately. The folks of mynokiablog recently received a tip concerning the Nokia E5x, the concept you can see below. Created by Alberto Pietrobon, a BSc student in Sweden, this device is all about business.
We learn that the E5x is follow-up the E5 that brings forth a design similar to the original phone, plus useful features, like a front QWERTY keyboard, 5MP camera and al the goodness you can get out of the MeeGo OS. Alberto considers this the perfect Nokia phone. What do you say?

Vladimir Zorin recently showed us one of his Nokia concept phones, that has yet to receive a name. This original device is far from the Nokia models we currently known and it adopts a bold and innovative design, using a square screen segment that’s bigger than the main body of the handset.
We suppose that this is in fact a square phone and that the keypad piece is able to rotate underneath the screen, but that’s only our speculation. If so, the display would be a touchscreen and the device would become ideal for tweens. What do you say?

How about a new Nokia design based on eco-friendly technologies? Patrick Hyland created the interesting Nokia E-Cu concept, that can be charged simply by using heat. The handset integrates a thermogenerator, that turns heat into electrical energy, so while in your pocket the device can get charged.
The E-Cu name is a combo between Environment (E) and Copper (Cu) and we learn that this phone is surrounded by a copper layer with engraved heatsinks. You’ll never need a phone charger for this piece of gear, so you’ll be saving Mother Nature again. We have to say that this is quite a slim device, with a solid design and a strong idea behind it.

Nokia’s Design by Community initiative is back with 3 phone sketches, that show the future device that the Finns will turn into a real 3D unit. The design is subject to public vote over here, but you can leave an input in the comment section below, too, if you want. We remind you that Nokia’s designers have taken into account all of the public’s feedback and created these 3 handsets.
There was a specifications list to serve as a guide to the designers and it included a 4 inch capacitive 16:9 display, a monoblock shape, aluminium case, soft touch finish, super strength durability and an open source OS with multitasking (unlimited).
Also on the list you can find a power button, camera zoom and volume button controls, WiFi 802.11 n/b/g support, USB connectivity, HDMI out and Dolby Surround Sound.
As far as the camera is concerned, there should be an 8 megapixel sensor incorporated into the phone, with 4X optical zoom, dual LED and Xenon flash, plus HD video capture. The enhancements section mentions a kinetic power booster, surround speakers, flash memory and an upgradable image sensor. Which of these sketches do you favour?
We have to say we’re very much into the first one…

British designer Jeremy Hopkins decided to create an unique phone concept, Nokia Kinetic, that turns digital information into kinetic energy. What does this mean? Well, basically, the phone will stand up on its own, once you get a notification, thanks to a kinetic energy-based system.
This is a 2009 design, with the Nokia phone using a classic mini USB port, a camera, speaker and a bulky lower side. The front side looks like a hybrid between the N81 and iPhone 4 and if you’re wondering about the whole “standing up” thing, know that the device relies on an electromagnet. This mechanism is placed at its based and shifts the phone’s weight, to keep it upright.
At the end of the article you can also see MyNokiaBlog.com’s version of the Nokia Kinetic phone design, if you’re curious.
