HTC One M10 Receives New Design Approach from Vuk Nemanja Zoraja (Video)
The clock is ticking before the HTC One M10 launches and apparently that won’t go down at MWC 2016 next month. Instead we’re supposed to expect it in March, but before that a good old concept is here, created by Vuk Nemanja Zoraja. There’s also a video below, showcasing the same render in 3D, courtesy of Mesut G designs.
The designer relied on Keyshot, AutoCAD 2012 and some leaks to create this model. It has a 2.5D glass front, with rounded edges, a prominent top and bottom, a bit too shiny for my taste and quite big volume and power buttons. The dual front speakers are still present, complete with BoomSound and Dolby tech and this model seems to have a bit of a leather texture going on at the lower front side, unless my eyes have gone bad.
The back is matte and gray and the texture of that area doesn’t quite feel like metal, which would be odd for a HTC flagship. However, if a plastic material is used, this lets us remove the battery. Anyway, I’m sure that 2 or 3 things will be kept on the real HTC One M10, like the metal frame and rounded front side edges, plus speakers.

Nokia C9 Rendered by Jermaine Smit, With Various Back Textures (Video)
The rebirth of Nokia is imminent, as shown by the trio of phones leaked here, but still there are quite a few months left till their handsets come. Till that happens we’ve got the fresh Nokia C9 render from Jermaine Smit, shown below.
The Nokia C9 concept comes with a rear side with a leather/rubber-like texture, while the frame and sides are all metal. The middle of the back can either be dotted or a normal one. There’s a slight Lumia vibe here, but not in a huge way. The texturing reminds me of the latest ZTE phones and the format of the back somehow brings me to the Meizu handsets.
Color choices are well thought out, although a bit on the dark side. I seem to have spotted a switch at the lower back, possibly used to remove the back shell and access the battery. The format is quite slim and narrow compared to other modern phones. The LG Nexus 5X also comes to mind a bit. Specs? Well, a kickass camera would have to be included, plus a big battery, typical for a Nokia.
