Nokia Lumia 1000 Concept

Nokia Lumia 1000 Concept by Mohammad Mahdi Azimi

Various other designers have tried to imagine a Nokia Lumia 1000 concept, but this is a new vision, from Mohammad Mahdi Azimi. It actually resembles a few leaked Nokia Lumia phones that were spotted on the web lately, so it’s a very interesting device. There’s a sketch below of the same device, created by the same designer that fooled a bunch of sites, who actually believed it was taken from a Nokia patent.

  

There’s proof of people believing it was the real deal here, but they finally came to their senses. At the time the model was discussed as a 41 megapixel Windows Phone Pureview cameraphone, that was proved to be just a concept in the end. I like the huge rounded speaker at the back, how compact the whole thing is and how old school it feels. The camera integration looks pretty much like on previous Lumias, although 41 MP would be welcome here. I also expect a more potent CPU, maybe something like a quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro or Snapdragon 600.

Nokia Lumia 1000 is shown in the trademark yellow hue, but only darker this time. The front side bears a slight resemblance with the Nokia 808 PureView, while the back has a bit of a hump, I bet and it feels like a cheaper Lumia, to be honest. Are people ready to adopt an old school design that may feel a bit dated, just to get a 41 MP camera on a Windows Phone unit?

Ben Ling is back with a new concept, the Sony Xperia M, with a render that can be seen below. We’re dealing with a 4.6 inch Full HD Bravia smartphone with a 16 megapixel camera with HDR at the back. The new Xperia concept features Mobile Bravia Engine 2 technology and 479 ppi pixel density.

The camera at the back has an Exmor RS sensor and Full HD video recording, while the camera at the front is a 2.2 MP unit with HDR, Exmor RS and Full HD video recording as well. Inside there’s a quad core 1.7 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, Adreno 320 GPU and 2 GB of RAM. The device runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, offers the audio xLOUD Experience and weighs 140 grams. It measures 9.2 mm in thickness and supports multitouch for up to 10 fingers.

Internally it has 16 GB of storage and other features include Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and a removable Li-Ion 2300 mAh battery. Ben Ling also indicates the presence of a shatter proof and scratch resistant screen and support for 16x digital zoom for the camera, plus HD sound recording and 4G LTE. The phone seems to adopt a smooth design and a very compact case, plus what looks like a huge metal side button like the one on the Xperia Z.
