Nokia U Concept: The Public Has Chosen the “Design by Community” Smartphone Design

Remember the Nokia initiative entitled “Design by Community” that involved the public’s selection of specs and design features for a future Nokia smartphone? Well, it came down to these three sketches last time we heard about it and the finalized result of the challenge is the Nokia U device, pictured below.

This Nokia concept phone is the result of over 18,000 votes that chose a sketch of the phone in order for the handset maker’s design team to turn into a render. This is the render we’ve been waiting for, complete with the specs listed below: More info and images after the break...
