Nokia X9 concept, the cell as it would like

Monday, March 29, 2010

he Nokia X9 exists only in my imagination and talent @ kalevgr. It all started 2 years ago in Barcelona, in a coach with bloggers who were invited to Nokia. Then we discussed the Nokia N99, a fantastic cell phone we would like to see the giant Finn. At that time the N96 was presented but many dreams were left on the shelf.

The Nokia X9 is a concept, based X6, but on steroids. The main features are a large capacitive display, camera can record video and HD 720p after quad LED Xeon module requires a lot of space to get into a delicate mobile. Support for memory cards microSD, mini HDMI output for connection to a TV. All known and technologically feasible right now.

The differences begin with the integration of dual micro USB on the X9. In this way the cell can function as a USB hub for various devices but also as a charger, a feature especially useful after the adoption of a standard mini USB for charging of smartphones.

Unfortunately, the batteries are left behind in development and large screens consume much energy but need 24 / 7 internet connection is necessary. For that integrates Nokia X9 AMOLED screen just below the large multi touch screen. Consider an Optimus Maximus keyboard minified to serve the basic needs for informing the user without having to check the display constantly. The surface can be configured for notification of new messages from Facebook, DM on Twitter, SMS, missed calls, etc.

In the middle is the key, touch sensitive home button with multiple functions. Single touch for transfer to the home screen. Single touch and wipe down to unlock the device. Single touch and wipe up for instant control of social status on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc. without having to operate the mobile screen, without additional energy consumption. Practically, the user need not deal with the mobile phone because the cause to be alert to what happens (push notifications) but gives the possibility to check on demand. When the user decides to see what happens in Facebook, Twitter and your inbox operating undertakes to show the avatar of the contact list and do assign to each of these respective event. The AMOLED screen automatically updates via the news ticker on major event Foursquare eg if a friend is nearby.

Because we are in 2010, the music can be stream and share. Nokia is already using FM transmitters for this purpose but can go one step further and allow OTA (Over The Air) sharing a playlist or the entire album with the requirement that those who will receive the album will pay at a discount say 10%. The Finns have already shown such a technology on an experimental level with the Nokia Explore and Share Technology Concept.
