Don’t fancy the ZTE Axon 10 Pro? Then you may want to look forward to the Axon S, an upcoming flagship from the Chinese manufacturer which takes a familiar design and turns it on its sides. It also has some pretty amazing specs too. Renders of the phone have been leaked and we like what we see.

Last year, manufacturers like Honor, Xiaomi, and Lenovo released phones with a slider design. If you slide any of these phones vertically downward, you are greeted with the front-facing camera(s) and sensors that will usually reside on the top bezel but are now behind the screen.

For the ZTE Axon S which also has a sliding mechanism, instead of sliding it down, you slide it to the right to see the front-facing cameras. There is also what appears to be touch-sensitive/capacitive controls probably for zooming in and out at the bottom. There is a chance the buttons are customizable, so you should be able to use them for volume controls or to adjust brightness.

When you slide the phone open, it also reveals the triple rear cameras on the back of the device arranged vertically. Below the sensors is a Xenon flash and at the far bottom, it is written that the ZTE Axon S has 5x optical zoom, a 48MP main sensor and a secondary 19MP sensor.

The design of the Axon S is really cool as you can’t see any of the cameras when the phone is closed. The back is just a slate of black glass devoid of any markings while the front is a gorgeous AMOLED display with a thin bezel at the bottom. Under the display is the fingerprint scanner. The renders also reveal the Axon S will have support for 5G and a USB type-C port at the bottom.

The specs of the phone are still unknown but we expect nothing less than a Snapdragon 855 processor and at least 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It will also be nice if there is support for wireless charging, a feature missing on the Axon 10 Pro 5G.

The Nokia C1 isn’t expected until next year as one of the flagships that would mark the return of the Nokia brand under HMD Global to the market. The device has now appeared in a leak showing the renders as well as some of the key specs the device is expected to sport.

The renders appeared on Weibo and looked more like a concept design than a real smartphone. There is an unusually high screen to body ratio, with the display almost taking the entire screen up front. There is no physical home key while the front camera and another sensor lie at either end of the display’s top with an unusually long speaker aperture at the middle. There is another similar one at the bottom edge as well.

There are capacitive buttons at the side and at the rear, there is a dual camera setup with an LED flash on the left side and another longer LED flash at the right side. The upper camera which is likely the main shooter is bigger than the one lying under it, but both cameras are round.

Also, the  image contains a couple of key specs of the Nokia C1 and from the records, the device will be powered by a Snapdragon 830 flagship chip with 4GB RAM onboard. There are three storage versions with 32GB, 64GB and 128GB storage options. The device is also expected to run Android 7.1 Nougat out-of-the-box.

Further, there is a dual camera setup at the rear with a 12 + 16MP sensor combination. The rear camera also contains a Xenon flash with triple LED. Up front, there is a modest 5MP camera for selfies. In addition, there is a 3,210mAh battery crammed inside the device. The Nokia C1 is also expected to feature a USB Type-C port even though there is still what looks like a 3.5mm audio jack.
