Nokia first announced the Nokia N9 in June
2011 with a design that can become a precursor to the Lumia lineup. The device
featured a rounded “Oreo” camera which was adopted recently on the Nokia 7.2
and OnePlus 7T. HMD has made some efforts to return to the glory days with the
relaunch of several classics such as the Nokia 3310, Nokia 800 etc. The device
has now got a remake with the Nokia N9 2020 Concept design. shared recently by
Concept Phones.
The design was created by designer Antony
Andreas with several features borrowed from the original design but with
expanded functionality. Instead of a plastic body, the device is envisioned
with an aluminium unibody and a more refined design. It retains the angular
edges of the original N9 but the sides are perfectly curved. The design could
easily pass for that of an iPod. The fuselage even extends on the display edges
just like on the original model resulting in thick bezels on the top and
bottom. The device adopts a pink hue which looks attractive. The designer even
thinks the Lumia 1020’s yellow hue won’t be a bad idea.
The Nokia N9 would be 10 years old by 2021
and Nokia may decide to relaunch the device again. n my opinion, the design has
outlived its usefulness. The design should take its rightful place among the
classic. If the N9 is to be relaunched, Nokia may likely go for an entirely
different design just as it did with the Nokia 3310.
