The Nokia Communicator is Back! Lumia 1001 Render Awakens its Spirit!
David Quijada takes a lot of risks with the Nokia Lumia 1001 concept, especially since he leaves a lot of room empty in the keyboard part of the device. The result is a brand new Communicator, a device that’s a redesign of the Nokia 9300.
From what I can see, we’re getting a dual display device and the back side of the keyboard looks particularly cool, especially the camera integration and surrounding area, probably with speakers included there as well. The QWERTY keyboard is well lit, but oddly spaced and we’ve also got a D pad probably for games and such.
The long rectangle format of the screen may be weird in landscape mode, but seems to work in portrait. If this device would be just a tiny bit wider, it would be solid gold. Is there any room on the market of 2014 for a Windows Phone-based Nokia Communicator of sorts?

Xiaomi Preparing Own Modular Phone, the Magic Cube; Here’s a Render!
It appears that the Motorola Ara and Phoneblocks are in good company, now that Xiaomi is preparing its own modular phone. We’ve got a render to go with that information and it’s shown below.
You know the basics here: you have a core device and you add pieces of technology to it, like extra RAM, extra storage and all sorts of camera modules and connectivity modules. Xiaomi has something called the Magic Cube planned and seeing how they have one of Google’s men on the team, Hugo Barra, I expect great things from them.
The Xiaomi modular phone‘s render was shown on the company CEO’s Weibo profile page, but it has been removed since. The device looks a bit like the Project Ara from Moto, only it has less switchable parts, something 3 or 4 of them. The other modular handsets we’ve seen till now even had 8 to 10 pieces to swap out. Will this trend die or is it here to stay?
