Nokia 701 is a Revamped Symbian Phone, Now With Windows Phone on Board
Designer James Wood from London has refreshed the Nokia 700 Symbian phone and turned it into the Nokia 701, that runs Windows Phone. The idea was to refresh the design and make it harmonized with the new OS, while also keeping design traits from the original unit.
I see there’s a metal frame here, as well as a polycarbonate body and the device is rounded at the top and bottom, plus it now gets the trademark Windows Phone buttons. The designer made this Nokia 701 concept in SolidWorks and Keyshot and placed its speakers at the bottom. There’s a bit of a chin thing going on here and I bet the back side of the case is removable.
The handset is rendered in blue, green and yellow, as well as black and it has a slightly curved profile. The facade is all glass, seemingly extending to the edge of the phone, probably thanks to a ClearBlack panel. I expect something like a quad core lower end CPU inside, 1 GB of RAM and 8 or 16 GB of storage, plus a 5 MP camera.
Samsung Nexus 5 (2015) Envisioned by Miqdad Abdul Halim
Lately the Nexus 9 has been a bit of a black sheep for Google, since they haven’t offered the Android 5.1 update for it, let alone the brand new Android 5.1.1. The Nexus 6 didn’t exactly spark a lot of interest, although it’s a pretty solid phone, but also a very big one. People need a new “inbetweener” and that may just be the Nexus 5 2015.
Envisioned by Miqdad Abdul Halim, this model is a Samsung-made Nexus 5, with very narrow bezels and a design format that seems to combine the Nexus 4 and Nexus 6, in my view. Upfront we’ve got a 5.2 inch Super AMOLED display, with a Full HD resolution and inside we get the ultra powerful Exynos 7420 processor. Other specs include a 2.1 MP front camera with wide angle lens, dual front facing stereo speakers and a notification LED below the screen.
At the back there’s the main 13 megapixel camera with F/1.9 aperture, OIS, HDR mode, dual tone flash and a 2700 mAh battery. Wireless charging, USB Type C and what seems to be a fancy and solid metal frame are also here. Would this be the “Marshmallow Android” Nexus?
