With all the various concept designs that we’ve seen for the iPhone, it is only right that now a fan of the Nokia Lumia range has come up with his own version of what an imaginary Nokia Lumia 850 should look like. To clarify, there is no such thing as the Lumia 850 currently so this is neither a leak nor a rumor. It’s just a concept that is the result of a designer from Luxembourg with the handle, BrianMFB who is expressing himself. The concept is similar to a Lumia 800 that has been slimmed down but it still retains much of the original character.

The rear-side of the phone is designed to have tapered edges and flush mounted side buttons. The screen that BrianMFB designed is a 3.8-inch one with his rationale that the ‘Nokia Lumia 950’ would have a bigger screen. Besides that, as you can see, it also runs on the blazing fast 4G LTE network. Now, we all know that this is just a concept and with the Nokia Lumia 800 and 900 proving to be phones that are pretty decent, it seems that a replacement for them should not be anywhere around in the near future. That said however, this concept device does look pretty decent although its white colored back is almost blinding.
