Back in June, we heard that Nokia was working on a successor
to its highly-praised Lumia 1020 smartphone. During that time, what we saw was
a concept phone codenamed McLaren
that’s made from aluminum and sporting a slightly smaller camera sensor
compared to the 1020. This week, some live photos of what appears to be a Lumia
phone with a big sensor were posted on the internet.
The phone just like the Lumia 1020 packs a massive PureView camera
module at the back (reportedly a 50MP sensor), which is said to be Zeiss-certified and apparently comes
with a dual-LED flash. Other notable specs of the device include a 1080p
display, 2GB of RAM, a quad-core Snapdragon chip and 32GB of on-board storage.
Moreover, the leaked photos suggest that the handset will
support 4G connectivity, a micro SIM and a microSD card slot. The photo also
shows the size of the phone compared to an iPhone 6, which shows that the phone
might have the same 4.7-inch display as the iPhone or probably slightly bigger
that tops at 5 inches.
Microsoft naturally hasn’t provided any confirmation yet, so
we do advise to take this bit of information with a dash of salt. But with a
live unit out there somewhere, the handset’s announcement seems imminent and
all we have to do is wait.
