Nokia L8: PureView 41 MP And Metal Kickstand

Designer: Saeid Khajevand

Saeid Khajevand unveiled Nokia Lumia 8 (or simply Nokia L8) concept phone powered by Windows Phone 8. His creation comes with a 41 MP camera from PureView, a kick-ass speaker right at the bottom and has similar visual appeals of the trendy Lumia models in fashion today.

Apparently Saeid has built a small slope on the upper end and the handset is probably not as rounded compared to those on market currently. You can find all the major buttons on just one side (on your right) where you power On/Off, adjust volume and operate the camera. At the back, it is affixed with the PureView 41 MP camera. A remarkable aspect of this design is that Windows Phone 8 (WP8) silver logo. It is embossed to the back cover and could function like a kickstand, this is indeed a cool idea. The obligatory microUSB port is located at the bottom, alongside with another speaker.

If you ever pay attention to Nokia Lumia phones (whether 820 or 920 models), you can't help but notice its bulkiness and weight. These definitely do not compare them well with other Android powered phones. Nokia has always explained (and expected understanding) that the size and weight are necessary to accommodate camera sensors and big batteries. My personal list is to have a Lumia model that is thinner and lighter that what it is today. So it is a relief to read about Nokia's commitment to make the future models smaller and thinner. Hopefully in time to come, we will get to see a Lumia which measures 9 mm, or 8 or even lower, to catch up with the models coming out from Motorola and HTC… How do you like the thinner and smaller Nokia L8?
