Microsoft Lumia 940 XL Gets a Very Fresh Vision and Design From Ashraf Amer
I can’t even remember the last time that I saw a Lumia/Microsoft/Nokia flagship phone being launched, so at least a concept is welcome. Meet theMicrosoft Lumia 940 XL, created by Ashraf Amer and looking great in concept phase.
This is a sleek flagship, with a 6.8 mm waistline and there are dual stereo speakers at the bottom of the device, flanking the USB port. This is a Windows 10 device, powered by an Intel Atom x7 64 bit processor and also packing a small bezel 5.4 inch screen. This display is a Super AMOLED with a Quad HD resolution and other specs include 4 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, a microSD card slot and a front 8 MP camera.
There’s Pureview technology at the back and front and the back shooter integrates a 24.2 megapixel sensor with Carl Zeiss optics. The designer also included a fingerprint scanner at the front, right in the Windows button. Lumia 940 XL feels very slim, sleek and elegant, also powerful. It was created in Keyshot, Autodesk 3D Studio Max.

Nokia Normandy Android Phone Gets Rendered in Detail
Apparently the Finns bought by Microsoft are secretly working on a Nokia Android phone in the labs and sources say it’s coming sooner than you think. Based on the leaks, designer Jonas Daehnert pulled off an entire gallery of renders of the Nokia Normandy, as the device is codenamed right now.
Apparently, Nokia wants to separate from the main Android vision, just like Amazon and give the OS its own twist. Sources are saying that this model is designed as sort of an Asha unit, an equivalent to lower cost devices, that offer access to standard smartphone apps. I’m pretty sure Microsoft won’t allow this anytime soon, so don’t get your hopes up.
The designer behind this Nokia concept claims it comes with a 4 inch 16:10 screen and that the handset measures 9.2 mm. It also comes in a variety of colors, that include green, cyan, black, white and obviously red. From what I can see there are no capacitive buttons here, neither Windows Phone ones, nor Android ones, only a singular Back button. The facade of the Normandy is similar to the Fabula design, while the back is also pretty standard to the Nokia design series.
Will a Nokia with Android exist in the future? What do you think?

HTC One 2/ HTC M8 Take 3: Techradar Create a Superb 3D Render (Video)
After seeing a bunch of HTC M8 renders that more or less impressive, we’ve found a truly fantastic piece of work here by TechRadar. Owen Hughes tipped us about this beautiful render, that’s detailed in the video below on the TechRadar YouTube channel.
This is pure gadget pr0n, since this HTC One 2 as they call it adopts an innovative compound construction for improved ergonomics. We’ve got a 2.3 GHz quad core Snapdragon 800 CPU inside, 3 GB of RAM and a 4000 mAh battery. The screen is a 5 inch 2K display, an edge to edge unit that looks stunning and is very crisp.
Android 4.4 KitKat and HTC Sense 6.0 take care of the software side of things, while a 10 Ultrapixel camera can be found at the back. The camera has a new UI and the general UI is now more fluid and better organized. We’ve got a fingerprint sensor integrated into the HTC logo at the bottom of the screen, that unlocks the device with a single touch.
The HTC M8 comes in 16, 32 and 64 GB storage versions with microSD card slot included in the mix.

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?
