We’re back with a Nokia concept phone, the N14, pictured below and running MeeGo 1.2. This handset was created by designer shihuzaan and it’s part of the Dream Nokia initiative from Mynokiablog. 14 designs are already available, so maybe this explains the name of the Nokia N14. Now let’s see what the phone is all about.
As you can see, its design is a combo between the Nexus One and Nokia Prism, complete with an anodized aluminum casing and a 4 inch Super AMOLED display, with a 800 x 480 pixel resolution. This is a capacitive multitouch display and at the back of the N14 we also find an 8MP camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus and Xenon Flash.
There’s also a 1GHz CPU on board, 512MB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot. Bluetooth 3.0 and a removable battery complete the specifications of this unreal device, that we hope Nokia will see and draw some ideas from.
You know it’s time for a new Nokia concept phone when everyone’s talking about dual core smartphones at CES 2011 and people seem to have forgotten about the sleeping Finnish giant… Designed by a guy called “SuperHero”, Nokia N9 is a MeeGo handset that popped up on the MeeGo forum.
We’re dealing with a sliding QWERTY smartphone with a curved design, a huge display and support for advanced multitasking. For example you can chat on the phone and perform other tasks with ease. Bluetooth and social networking are also supported and we’re sure a potent camera and HDMI out found their way in there, too.
Definitely loving that edge to edge display without borders!
We’re back with the Nokia concepts and this time the N11 brings something extra: a 3D camera and dual core CPU. Nokia N11 is a concept MeeGo gaming phone made by Lonely Cent (Dhivehi Dhari), that adopts the design of the N81/iPhone 4 and brings gaming buttons as extras.
This is a dual OS phone, that uses both MeeGo 1.2 and Symbian, thanks to a dual core 1GHz CPU. 512MB of RAM are also on board, as well as 16GB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and the usual Nokia anodized aluminum casing. The display upfront if a CBD 4 inch AMOLED unit with a 800 x 480 pixel resolution.
3D image capture and a removable battery complete the specs list and you must notice that the images included in this article also show the front gaming keys on the device, so this makes us think of an N-Gage follow-up.. Would you buy the N11 if it were real?
Frustrated with the lack of quality of Symbian, even in its latest versions people started dreaming about running Android or Windows Phone 7 on Nokia handsets. Right now we’ve got a poster in London showing Nokia devices running Android, but that was an error of the people making the posters… Now let’s see how Windows Phone 7 looks on a Finnish smartphone!
Considering that Nokia’s current CEO was a Microsoft official, it wouldn’t be impossible for future N-Series units to adopt this platform. The following phone is the created of Michal Bonikowski & Rafal Pilat and we’re dealing with magnesium alloy handset running WP7 and featuring an 8MP camera at the back.
The design reminds us of a HTC device, but it also borrows a few traits from Nokia’s trademark back case. Well, we can imagine that this is the Nokia N9 and WP7 got ported on it… right?
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…
Do you fancy such an N8 upgrade?

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.
What do you think about this Nokia N8 upgrade?
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?
