Hi all,
I started putting this together a while ago but got bogged down in learning about the technical stuff. I realised I will do that forever! I have also been prompted by the fact that
@pekka rantala is leaving HMD and he was one of the original people responsible for the N-series which I found so inspiring.
What I am missing from HMD is a true replacement for the Nokia N series, the true flagship devices which showcases the best of technology in many aspects, not only photography. The 9PV is a worthy (though controversial) successor to the previous PureView phones, but in my opinion it's not a successor to the N series. The last N-model was the N9, but in reality that was a watered down member of the N-series, although it was certainly world-leading in its physical design and user experience. The last true N-model was the N8, which was coincidentally my first Nokia and my first touchscreen smartphone!
I'm sure you've all got your own ideas for what you'd like to see on a new Nokia flagship so please share your thoughts. Here are mine.
Body design
- No glass back - aluminium or polycarbonate
preferred; "Self healing" like LGs a few years ago?
- Wireless charging
- Toughest most scratch
resistant display glass available
- Toughened camera glass, no
more cracked lens covers please!
- Some sort of protection for
the corners of the front glass in case of impact from dropping
- LG style drop protection
construction (meets MIL-STD?)
- IP 68
- User replaceable battery
- Grippy corners to aid
handling one-handed and with gloves
- No wider than Nokia 8
- Xpress-on covers… that can
conduct heat well

- Lanyard mount?

Also I would like to see themes for the default ui / ux so my phone be unique like how my old Nokia 7610 and Nokia N73 was
But how about Nokia foldable 8" phone, to fit in man's tight jeans pocket safely and to open wide 8" screen for videos and for double-app use? So this kind cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/92AKJzNAJRAgjZGnTSHgrj.jpg
OIS
Dedicated on-body fingerprint sensor
Bottom-mount 3.5 mm jack
Polycarbonate body
If @Nokia will announce it, I will pre-order
