Nokia Lumia Play, a Gaming Phone Powered by Microsoft Xbox Technology

Nokia Lumia Play features two game pads at the back of the phone and they can extend out and be used as such, improving the gaming experience. It is also possible to use the device as a gamepad when interacting with an Xbox 360 console. The device features a high definition 1136 x 640 pixel display, a touchscreen with Gorilla Glass protection. There’s also a 5 megapixel front camera capable of 720p videos, while at the back there’s a 10 megapixel camera with Full HD video capture.

This Nokia concept phone runs Windows Phone 8 and measures 7.6 mm in thickness. Lumia Play offers both a directional pad and action buttons, plus there should be some minor shoulder buttons available, although I’m not so sure. The handset has a pretty unusual shape, seen from the front with lots of straight edges and straight lines, so without curves. No specs were mentioned, but a quad core CPU and 2 GB of RAM would be welcome. Is such a phone possible?

Nokia unveils new lumia 510 entry-level smartphone

Nokia unveiled the Windows-powered Lumia 510 entry-level smartphone equipped with a four-inch display, 5-megapixel camera and Nokia maps. This latest addition to the Nokia Lumia range will be available in red, yellow, cyan, white and black.

Lumia 510 makes the unique benefits of Lumia and Windows Phone even more affordable. Nokia estimates the retail price to be around $199, excluding taxes and subsidies.

"With the Nokia Lumia 510 we continue to meet our commitment to bring Windows Phone to new, lower price points," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices.

Sales are planned to begin in November, starting with India and China, and followed closely by other Asia-Pacific countries and South America.

Windows Phone is different to other smartphone platforms thanks to Live Tiles, making it easy to see incoming messages and updates; People Hub, which brings together contacts and updates from across social networks into one location, and access to Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer 9 on the mobile.

The Camera Extras app provides exclusive digital lens functionality to go with the five megapixel camera and built-in autofocus. Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive and Nokia Transport also offer comprehensive smartphone location and navigation experience available.

Nokia Lumia Xeon Concept Has an Interesting Back Layout

Deviantart user Sunkotora envisioned a new Lumia concept called Nokia Xeon and pictured below. There aren’t any specs to accompany this model, so let’s let imagination run wild this time, OK? The thing I like the most is the back of the phone, especially the camera area and the center that looks great with that Tron style lighting.

I don’t quite like the bottom front area, that seems to be added out of context there, with the Back, Windows and Search button seeming out of place.

Nokia Lumia Nexus is the Nokia N1 Android Phone You’ll Never Have!

Nokia N1 has been one of the most searched phones on our website, that’s what statistics say. Why? Because it’s a Nokia phone with Android and there are many of you who want that. Sadly, Nokia doesn’t, but at least we have concepts like the Nokia Lumia Nexus shown below and rendered by Milanno Artworks.

The designer behind this project says he’s a big fan of Nokia and was pretty disappointed by the fact that they chose Windows Phone over Android. He also quotes rumors saying that Google could allow more Nexus models, so that’s how the Nokia Nexus came up. This original Lumia mockup packs a 2 GHz quad core processor, a 5 inch HD display and 2 GB of RAM, as well as 32 GB of storage. Being so close to the phablet range, I imagine this is a huge phone, considering the 4.5 inch Lumia 920 is already a beast.

Nokia Lumia Zeal, the HD Zune-Like Prototype

For those of you still dreaming about a Zune Phone, Carlo Di Vaio from Italy imagined a Nokia phone that matches this description. I’m talking about the Nokia Lumia Zeal, that’s supposed to take some elements from Zune players and turn them into a phone. This is a LTE device with a microSIM card slot and a very serious looking metallic case.

It has a Snapdragon S4 Pro dual core 1.7 GHz processor (although I knew that the Pro is a quad core one), with Adreno 320 GPU, 16 GB of NAND Flash storage and up to 48 GB more via microSD card. Nokia Lumia Zeal brings 1 GB of RAM, a 3.7 inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The screen is a ClearBlack one with PureMotion HD technology on board. It has an 8 megapixel camera at the back with PureView technology and Xenon flash, while the secondary camera is a 2 megapixel unit.

Nokia Lumia 1001 Windows Phone 8 Concept by Jonas Daehnert

We have seen some lovely Nokia concept phones before, created by the sameJonas Daehnert and now here’s a fresh one. The Nokia Lumia 1001 is even more beautiful than the freshly launched Lumia 920 and 820 and it brings an air of elegance and finesse to the series. The new Lumias are bulky, massive and heavy, but this one seems slimmer.

I particularly like the lower side of the handset, that somehow seems a bit Apple-inspired to me, if I think about the iPhone 5 renders I’ve seen lately, which is a good thing. Under the display that I dare to speculate is a 4.5 inch HD unit, we find 3 capacitive buttons and on the side we find the buttons with a changed look. Gone are those faux metal buttons and here are some faux rubber ones, if I may say so. I can’t seem to spot a camera button, while at the top there’s a mystery tray, that’s actually prety big, big enough to host both the SIM and microSD together.

Nokia Could Release Three Windows Phones 8 Smartphones Next Month  

    

The Lumia 920 phone will supposedly sport a 4.5-inch display, as well as a PureView camera, which has a 41-megapixel sensor and is meant to eliminate the visual noise found on most smartphone cameras. According to VentureBeat, Lumia 920 plans will be sold exclusively by AT&T.

The Lumia 820, comes in at least seven colors, has a 4.3-inch display, and will run on AT&T's and T-Mobile's networks, VentureBeat said.

The mysterious @evleaks has posted only 10 messages in four days, including eight photos of an unknown HTC Android tablet, and already has almost 700 followers in less than a week.

Nokia has a lot riding on its Windows Phone 8 offerings and its tight relationship with Microsoft. The beleaguered Finnish handset maker, once a market leader, has struggled to keep up with competitors like Apple and makers of various Android phones in recent years.

"Nokia bet everything on Windows, and if this doesn't succeed the next step might be having to do what's best for shareholders, and that might include selling off key assets or selling the whole company," Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley said in an interview with Reuters.

Windows Phone 8 isn't expected to drop until Oct. 29, VentureBeat pointed out, so if they are revealed next week, the Lumia handsets will still have to sit on the shelf for almost two months before Nokia starts selling them.
