Nanami and Karina Get Teased by Designer Razec

06/03/2010 13:13 par slaytane

In preparation of the 2010 Sony Ericsson concept phones on Esato, we get some teasers of the upcoming devices, courtesy of designer Razec. The first is Sony Ericsson Nanami, pictured below and probably being a touch cameraphone, “the revival of something exotic” and a… slider? (we’re only guessing).

Next up is Sony Ericsson Karina, pictured below, a “slim and neat” handset, that’s both compact and powerful, it seems to run a mystery flavour of Windows Mobile and features a bright touchscreen. There’s a HD inscription near the camera at the back, so we’re guessing the sensor is 8/12 MP and it comes with autofocus and serious flash power.

This slim device with Windows Mobile 7 (we’re guessing again) might be the ultimate XPERIA of 2010, although the handsets of this series have gone the Android way. I’d put a 1 GHz CPU under that case… Great teasers, Razec!

Stealth, a Mid Level Handset Design by Reginald Shola Hingston

While Nokia’s busy with readying a bunch of new smarphones and cameraphones, we have a look at a new concept bearing their branding, the Nokia Stealth. Created by Reginald Shola Hingston, this mid level handset is destined to reach the pockets of tech enthusiasts and you can learn what it’s all about after the break.

The Nokia concept comes with an ergonomically sculpted keypad, that allows the user to easily navigate by touch sensation, plus a rubberised matte textured surface, that absorbs light on radii, giving a feeling of flat facets. Nokia Stealth also uses a pearlescent matte coloring, that gives it a dark red hue, reminding us of radar lenses.

For more projects of this designer you can have a look at his Coroflot profile.

Symbian Tablets and Netbooks Coming in the Near Future

Symbian went completely open source these days and we’ve also found out that the platform will be used on netbooks and tablets in the near future. This statement was made by Symbian Foundation CEO Lee Williams and one such “device of the future” is pictured below.

The portable gadget is part of Nokia “Vision of 2015″ video, shown after the break, below. This clip includes a bunch of concepts and prototypes made by the Finnish company, probably meant to feature Tegra 2 and OMAP4 solutions. Word has it that Symbian was already ported to the Intel Atom processor, in a project called Wild Duck.

Since Nokia’s Booklet 3G is real, should we also expect to see a Nokia Tablet in 1 or 2 years?

Ovi Orion Gaming Phone is the Perfect Successor to the N-Gage (Video)

There were a few Nokia fans who regretted the canning of the N-Gage gaming phone series, but there is still hope for this idea, specially if you believe in concepts. The folks of Recombu created the Nokia Ovi Orion, a gaming phone design, pictured below.

Nokia Ovi Orion looks like a combo between a Palm Pre and an iPhone, with a strange QWERTY keyboard and a hidden one line display at the back. This bizarre design might make gaming more user-friendly, but what’s really important is the front multitouch capacitive touchscreen, with a huge diagonal, hopefully.

We wouldn’t be surprised if a Tegra or Snapdragon CPU was on board too, as well as HDMI out and a decent bunch of speakers. The question is: does Nokia have the software platform for such a device? Here’s a short video demo of the concept gaming phone:

Nokia Eco-friendly Phone Functions on Coca-Cola

It’s been a while since we last saw an eco-friendly concept phone, specially one with the Nokia branding on it. Thankfully, we’ve stumbled upon the work of designer Daizi Zheng, the original device pictured below, an eco-friendly Nokia phone powered by sugary drinks.
Daizi claims that the phone battery, used as a power source is too expensive and harmful for nature, specially in the disposal process. She has an alternative for normal batteries, that is the bio battery, an eco-friendly source of energy that uses carbohydrates (sugar in this case) and enzymes as the catalyst for the process needed to produce energy.

One pack of sugary drink will include enough carbohydrates for your phone to work, also generating water and energy, when the battery dies. Bio batteries have the potential to work three to four times longer with a single charge, compared to the Lithium batteries used today.

The idea is brilliant, but what about the handset’s design? How would you feel, carrying such a flask in your pocket

Nokia M31 Phone Design Comes With Two Touchscreens

Jon DeGorsky created a brand new Nokia concept phone, the M31, that impresses through its dual touchscreen displays. It seems that the handset is inspired by crop circles, in the visual department.

The two integrated displays are revealed after sliding the phone and you have to know that the top screen will show contacts, Internet browsing features, a mailbox, messaging functions, games, calendar and settings.

Nokia M31’s inner display provides the virtual numeric keyboard, also the interface changing bar and the “letter interface”. I can also spot a camera at the back of thehandset and all in all, the device is pretty good, albeit a tad too short for my taste.

C5

Symbian is going to push out S40 out of all but the most basic phones - the newly leaked Nokia C5 is good evidence of that. With a modest price tag this handset would steer many buyers in Symbian direction.

The Nokia C5 is also the first phone of the Cseries we've seen yet - remember back in July last year when Nokia trademarked Xseries and Cseries? With the Nokia X3 and the Nokia X6 we saw the Xseries - the successors of the XpressMusic lineup - and now it's clear that the Cseries takes over where the "classic" phones left off.

First look at the Nokia C5

Here are the leaked specs for the Nokia C5 - it's powered by the non-touch Symbian S60 3rd edition FP2, the display is 2.2" QVGA, and the phone sports a 3.2MP camera with autofocus and LED flash, GPS receiver with A-GPS, a microSD card slot to expand the 50MB of built-in memory.

The Nokia C5 is pushing Symbian into S40 territory

The phone is 3G-enabled with HSDPA and HSUPA for fast Internet access. The Nokia C5 also offers a 3.5mm audio jack and FM radio. Basically, the C5 is like a 3G-capable Nokia 6303 classic with Symbian substituting the aging Series 40.

We'll probably see more of the Nokia C5 at the MWC in Barcelona.
