The new generation of Nokia smartphones have been envisioned to tread more on the path of aesthetics.

The company aims to achieve that by heightening its mobile phones' wireless functions through the use of Near Field Communications (NFC) technology, according to The Guardian.

NFC has been deployed on earlier Nokia phone models but not on its latest flagship product lines, the Lumia, which was launched on the last quarter of 2011.

The centrepiece of upcoming Lumia high-end models is their ability to accommodate wireless accessories and the possibility of wireless charging, as suggested by Nokia's chief of design Marko Ahtisaari.

Works are now underway for Nokia phones to leave out as many moving parts as possible and render connectors obsolete in the near future, Ahtisaari told The Guardian.

"If you can take away a moving part and make the phone more beautiful in the placement of the components, we'll do it, so that's something where we can certainly keep improving," The Guardian reported the Nokia executive as saying.

Ahtisaari hinted that upcoming Nokia Lumias would have the ability to be charged wirelessly though the incorporation of open NFC, which is the Bluetooth pairing of devices to accessories without passwords.

Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop has earlier noted the emergence of NFC on future mobile devices and suggested during the recent Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas that Nokia is deploying the technology with its upcoming phone model designs.

That position was backed by Microsoft, which also allowed that the next Windows Phones to ship later this year are NFC capable.

Sales of the Lumia 800 and 900 have been fairly successful as tech experts noted that both models achieved respectable numbers, more than a million according to latest estimates, in so short a time.

The handsets were unveiled November 2011 and met stiff competition from Apple and Android smartphones, which have been dominating the mobile device landscape over the past few years.

Nokia has admitted that it is entering a transitional phase this year, marked by what Elop characterised as the overhaul of the company's ecosystem, and is not expected to make headways soon.

The company ditched its in-house mobile platform last year in favour of Microsoft's operating system, to hopefully catch up with rivals and regain its former market leadership.
