My Dream Nokia #49: Nokia Lumia PureView 920, Windows Phone 8 Concept
At first glance it might just seem to be your standard Lumia 800/900 design. Well yes, but this is so much more refined. These are designed by Jonas Dahnert
First and foremost, let’s look at the specs:
- 4.3″ screen
- 720p resolution
- 12MP PureView
- Quadcore
- 2000mAh battery
- 1080p video
- WP8
- (Xenon, Curved display, front facing camera)
The design is very eye catching. I know some say that the N9 seen from last June is an old design now. I’d say there’s some life left in that design which the world deserves to see live in in Nokia’s Lumia smartphones.
It features a curved screen – something that might add extra weight and possibly some vulnerability on a screen this large. Undoubtedly looking gorgeous though, right?
You’ll notice that there are no buttons. It’s much more N9 style. It’s just you and the screen. However, like Windows 8, they do make an appearance (possibly contextually or with a swipe.
Also note how the tiles are more like W8, separated into little categories. There’s also a landscape view. This. I want this. This tile grouping is available somewhat via an app called New Groups.

The back still has that metal piece though it now proudly says Nokia again. Having said that, it was always good to hear people mention Carl Zeiss optics over and over because of it. We can also see what looks like Xenon flash with LED assist. If only such things could fit in a diminutive frame and be decent.
Although I want to see a new Nokia design (complete one colour, no visible seam, everything a smooth obsidian black, screen only visible when it’s on) this design is seems to be winning the crowd for Nokia. It’s something that you can’t just get back from specs (unless of course you just try to copy these designs from Nokia, which is happening)
The available colours are not so bold, possibly more understated and classy? I’d still like to see that Cyan though.
About “My Dream Nokia”
I’m sure you’ve dreamt up your PERFECT Nokia device/UI. What it would look like, what it would feel like, what features it would have. Why don’t you share it with the world? Or at least with other Nokia fans
.
It could be your own photoshopped or rendered work (seriously, you don’t need mega skills in either, basic paint job is often enough to convey a concept) of your dream product.
SEND this in similarly to tips@mynokiablog.com with the title “My Dream Nokia” and perhaps the model number (and a little description, maybe a few specs in the message area? Though this bit not necessary).
Who knows, maybe an image might flutter over to Nokia and through whatever route end up being real.

Wow this one is a beauty. I would definitely buy this. Only unrealistic aspect would be the thickness.. If it’s supposed to have Pureview i think it will have to be a bit thicker or we will have to wait till they have slimmed it down. It is very eyecatching and beautiful though. I like the bit more elegant color palette.
If a 41MP pureview camera produces 5MP by binning 8 pixels, then I suppose the default picture output would be a 1.5MP image.
That better be one awesome looking 1.5MP image!
It doesn’t have to be 7/8 pixels into one
How about 2 pixels into 1 or 3 into 1?
You don’t have to oversample that much.
a very nice concept; it looks better without buttons below the screen.
back to reality, this would be very fragile, and if only Xenon was that small
Nice evolution from the current N9/800/900 design.
If Nokia releases something like this, I’d buy it on day one. Heck, I’d wait a week in front of their store here Just to be the 1st to get it :p
Yes, I agree, this looks amazing, great job! Right amount of evolution, but still keeping and refining the winning design.
One thing, though: the next-gen Lumia should get rid of the only design flaw of the 800/900, the metal plate at the back. It looks gorgeous, until day 1, that is. As the phone sits on it it scratches even if you just look at it. This is the only reason I have to put a silicone case on the phone, which takes away from the design.
Either get rid of the plate, or make it sink 1mm deeper than the back cover of the phone.
Yes, very right. I totally agree. I think Ali discussed this with someone at Nokia and they agreed to. It looks stunning but it will scratch if you look at it wrong. Never ever place the phone naked on a surface that isn’t fluffy cotton or puppies. They could potentially sink the metal and then make it flush by covering it in a plate of gorilla glass (with no oleophobic-scratchophile layer)
I do think they should do for that strip a anodised aluminium found in the N8, with engravings.
Yup. That metal plate on the back exists solely to attract ‘character marks’ for the phone – or so it seems on my N9. A gorgeous design, that that stunning flaw.
The search for the perfect device continues…
I’d say Nokia should replace that metal strip with a brushed aluminium strip. That’d give it a classy look while still maintaining the same basic design.
Not a single scratch on my N9′s metal strip, but on day-1 I put the case on.
I’m thinking of lamenating that metal strip, or something like that…
Could you please email or call your contacts at Nokia for the landscape view idea. It makes it look fantastic and would be a marketing plus for phone to be able to match coffee tab landscape view.. I think the design is a gold winner and should be released in key time for the Coffee Tab and Nokia glasses, but only announced days before.
Also Jay, do you see how you present the screen? Each tile a different color or picture, this is what marketing department is missing the boat on. It looks beautiful on your design while a full screen of all the same color looks boring to some/many people. Tell them Jay.
Isn’t that an already leaked Apollo feature? I thought I read somewhere, that’s the default Apollo look: multiple tile colors.
I think you can do this with whiztiles.
this is what we should be talking about. and now, we have a lot of people crowing about windows does not need no stinking quad core because it is OPTIMIZED to run on single core. the same crap we spoke about symbian for years.
I hope in real apollo device nokia will not use PenTile HD display. But i fear , they will do it.
They aren’t doing it in the Lumia 900, so what makes you think they would do it in its successor?
This is awesome. I can imagine Kevin Shields going crazy for it.
Wow! Absolutely stunning and all the more so if you know what is planned for Apollo.
I’m diligently searching for an unlocked Lumia 900 LTE Cyan that I can buy….ahem rent for a year until these stunners are ready. Expansys has them but they are AT&T branded so I’m still looking–somebody please take my money for this!
Visually, the width is probably unrealistic, but it looks very cool.
There also seems to be a structural issue with the curved glass which is partly why they didn’t do it on the 900. It would have added another mm to maintain structure and they opted for the flat glass to save some size. I don’t have a link, but I think I found that information on the Nokia site.
I’m not sure about “Pureview” and “12MP” going together, but a kick ass camera would be nice. Current 41MP pureview is restricted in size by the properties of light and the nature of the lens required to put it on the sensor. I doubt we’d see a ton of options to make pureview (as it is in 41MP) much less bulky, maybe a bit tho.
If they made the metal around the lens brushed or something to not show marks and scratches so much that would be better. Arguably less pretty, but less of an eyesore when it gets used.
Very nice render.. well done.. well thought out.
No mention in the specs of things like
Bluetooth 4.1+
NFC
GPU (Adreno 320?)
A curved screen is possible if the OLED (and all necessary other layers) are curved. Else the glass gets thick and heavy. If the camera module is to be made slimmer the optical material used in the lens need to be improved to focus the light over a shorter distance. I have read about a lens type with a kind of holographic texture that may be able to do this. Another type of lens that may bring better performance to mobile phone cameras has the ability to change form by applying voltage to the lens, i.e. change the curvature and focal distance of the lens without any mechanical parts/ motors. Before these types of improvements are industrialized it is very difficult to make a slim phone with outstanding camera qualities.
They just need to put the N8 sensor in every mid-high end lumia phone, get rid of the xenon, and cut up the sensor into 8Mpix instead of 12Mpix, with 1.8-2.0 F stop high quality optics. Done deal.
If the software is ready.. which isn’t case yet.
I like the metallic and slim style in this. I hope Nokia could bring this kind of design out.
Products in higher price points (900 series) could be metal, hmmm.
I can see the xenon bulbs going thru the display, lol, that thin! xD
Gorgeous.
Im still of the mindset that for Apollo\WP8, while running NT kernel, will be able to run Metro apps from Win8. They have to do this to make it I think as ATM apple has just too much a headstart in apps.
If they can run Win8 Metro apps on the phone, then it will explode. It is possible and especially with the New qualcomm chips they will be using which will be 4x the current spec.
This is the reason I think Nokia jumped ship to MS. It was the potential they saw.
With the ARMs race atm, with the power available doubling every year, wont be long before your laptop will be your phone.
The mobile is the new PC.
Wow this is the best concept dream phone yet. Pretty realisitic to what u would expect they should have by years end. Only thing i dont like with the avaliable nokia windows devices is the 3 youch buttons r visible even when screen is off. It doesnt have a full flush black look say like my galaxy s2 etc. i hope they change that. Other tan that perfect device. Actually reminds me of the nokia U concept the won peoples favorite back before n8 was out.
the design is no-doubt fanastic but i dont think it works to improve nokia in smartphones market. Nokia is the only company that hasn’t revieled anything excited yet its just hanging with old os shit symbian and same outlook no changes.
fudi teri tai di
maa choda randi ke bachhe……. nikal apni fudi me galaxy phone gusha
warna tere gf ko mei chodd dunga
why not 41mp PureView?
Elop wanna make me belief so called belle sucks big time!
+1000 for this design.
Keep’ir’up
That design is absolutely gorgeous! I’ve currently got an iPhone 4 and I’m going to make the switch to the Lumia but I’m waiting until WP8 is released along with a new Lumia. I think the current Lumia 800 is stunning but I might as well wait until the end of the year for the new OS. If the new lumia looks anything like this, il be buying it immediately!! I’m sure loads of other people would as well.
Wow this nokia lumia 920 is incredible but I would like to know if it can connect on xbox live ?
Looks like some wishes do come true:D
