Newkia is Almost a Nokia With Android, Rendered Here
Since Nokia has pretty much abandoned all other OS options after being bought by Microsoft, we can only hope they will leave their legacy to some sort of surrogate company. Some of the Nokia employees who have migrated lately may help develop a Nokia Android concept.
The render here is created by Jsus and it’s branded Newkia, which is a real thing. Newkia is a startup based in Singapore and founded by Thomas Zilliacus, who worked 15 years for Nokia. He was pretty big in the company, serving as Asia-Pacific CEO for 7 years. Right now Zilliacus is leading investment company Mobile FutureWorks and he wanted to buy out Nokia a year ago.
This means he’s got the finances to start up a big company to carry on the Finnish legacy. He will build smartphones using Nokia expertise and feature Android on them. I’m sure he’ll draw hundreds of discontent former Nokia employees and do a fine job. As far as the concept is concerned, it reminds me of a cross between an Xperia Nexus and a Lumia, if I can call it that.

Nexus 5 Rendered by Deuxani, Based on FCC and KitKat Leak
After yesterday’s attempt at rendering the Nexus 5 based on the Android 4.4 KitKat video leak and the FCC display of the device today we get one more design of this kind. This is the Nexus 5 in the vision of Deuxani:
The designer used the actual size from the FCC document, meaning this smartphone measures 131,9 x 68.2 mm and it has a screen diagonal of 126 mm, plus a screen ratio of 16:9. As you can see in the picture below, the device is still rounded at the top, but the curve is sharper, if I can say so. Also, there seems to be no shiny metallic edge and the overall frame of the Nexus 5 is smaller than the one of Nexus 4.
Seeing how big the camera lens at the back is, we could see a Nexus 5 that actually has a decent camera, something new for the Nexus series. We had the Nexus 4 with an underwhelming camera, the Galaxy Nexus with a weak camera as well and the predecessors were not exactly Pureview units themselves. Is it time for a Nexus cameraphone?
