Two New Lumia Renders: One for Business and a 41 MP Cameraphone

Two New Lumia Renders: One for Business and a 41 MP Cameraphone

Sent to us by Stijn Van Brummelen, the following Microsoft Lumia concepts are very interesting and appealing. They are destined for two entirely different segments: the business man and the cameraphone enthusiast. Let’s start with the business Lumia concept:

The first model goes all out when it comes to productivity, even including a kickstand, so you can start doing your Excel and Word stuff easily on the go. This is a 5 inch AMOLED Full HD smartphone, with a Snapdragon 810 processor inside and 2 GB of RAM. It also has a microSD card slot, 16 GB of storage and a 12 megapixel Pureview shooter, as well as an 8 megapixel front camera.

The OS here is Windows 10 and we’ve got 4G connectivity, Qi charging, DLNA, Mirror Link, Here Drive+, Office, Cortana, NFC and WiFi, so everything we need is in place. And then comes the second model:

Also unnamed and meant for hikers and the like, this unit focuses on navigation features and its very potent camera. It packs a 41 megapixel Pureview shooter, a 5.5 inch Full HD screen and a Snapdragon 810 processor, as well as 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. The design is rather basic for a Lumia cameraphone and the camera bulk is actually quite decent. The OS is Windows 10 and we’ve got an 8 MP selfie cam, plus a front and rear speaker.

Multimedia powerhouse? Yes sir! What names would you suggest for these phones? Maybe something like Lumia 940 for the first one and a Lumia 1040 for the second?

Early Stages of Desktop Android OS Rendered

Early Stages of Desktop Android OS Rendered

There’s an interesting community on Google+ that’s called Android Desktop OSand those guys are working together to put in place a version of Android for the desktop.  Its cofounder going by the name of Michael Jordan has rendered a potential look for the Android desktop platform.

If you check out the community you may get some very cool wallpapers to use on your devices, by the way. Michael details the core behind this desktop OS, claiming that behind it stands Skyhook, which is a main hub. Developers will be able to use it and create software for it easily. This version of Android will run on X86 devices easily and apparently it will be able to turn a Ouya into a PC at some point.

Skyhook is meant to get rid of fragmentation on Android devices and also get rid of confusion. Lollipop already started with the purpose to deliver the same experience on the TV, watch, car, tablet and phone, but what about PCs? In the meantime, other ways to get Android on PC have appeared, like the Andromium project.

There are two guys you should keep an eye on: Jason Serilei Dragunov and Michael Jordan, who have been working many hours a day for the past years, to create the missing link between Android an a Core i7 PC, for example.

What do you think so far?
