While we are counting down for the Nokia comeback at the end of this year, a brand-new Nokia render designed by Vasili Sychev has just been spread to the internet. This phone is called Nokia Prism! Let’s take a look!

Nokia Prism: Exotic design

At first impression, Nokia Prism doesn’t look similar to any of the current smartphones in the market! Instead of having a rectangular shape, this phone arrives with a pentagonal construction. This is something that has never existed before in the smartphone industry. Prism is covered with metal and there are four color variants: blue, silver, black and red. According to the render photos, this device is a Windows phone, but it looks like Microsoft has to “twist” the OS a bit to fit the new display.

This exotic design of Nokia Prism may also lead to many changes (and even difficulties) in using the phone. The sharp corners may not be comfortable to hold in hands. Watching videos and reading e-books may not be the same as with current smartphones. Some parts of the common rectangular frame of the videos, photos or e-books could be missed. However, who knows if there will be a mode that shapes the pentagonal display into rectangular frame and leaves the 5 corners for specific functions?

In terms of display, as you can see from the photos, 95% of the front of the phone is for the screen. No front camera is found and there is only a minimized panel for the speaker on the top of the phone. Regarding Nokia Prism specs, we haven’t received anything. However, we expect this device will come with at least 3GB RAM, a Snapdragon 820 chipset and a 20MP PureView camera.

Nokia Prism: A piece of art

Overall, Nokia Prism, with its design, may not fit common smartphone users. There are some usage issues that we can easily point out from the pentagonal construction of the phone. The lack of selfie camera is another thing that keeps smartphone lovers away from Prism. However, in the artistic perspective, this phone is still exotic-looking and can be a nice choice for artistic users.
