While
tech giants Apple and Samsung are stealing all the limelight with a
plethora of speculations about their upcoming successors of smartphone
models — the iPhone 5 and Galaxy Note 2 this month, the Finnish phone
manufacturer Nokia has plans to dent the smartphone arena with its giant
offering in the first week of September.
Reports have leaked that the company is secretly working on a Lumia smartphone which will feature Pureview camera technology and the latest version of Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8.
According to a TheVerge
reports, the companies have planned to official take the curtains off
the Arrow and Phi, Windows Phone 8 handsets, which are rumored to be the
codenames of upcoming Lumia smartphones. It is assumed that these
smartphones will the successors of Lumia 800 and 900 with polycarbonate
build.
Also a Russian blog, Obozrevatel,
claims that Finns will be unveiling three Nokia Lumia smartphones at
the September 5 event. Of these, parts and prototype of the Nokia Phi
has already been leaked online in the recent weeks. However, the finally
finished product of the handsets will be unveiled only in the next
month.
The
blog also continues stating the rumored specifications of the Phi,
claiming that it will sport a 4.7 inch AMOLED display,a micro SD card
slot, LTE Radio and NFC. However, besides stating that Nokia will unveil
three smartphones at the event, the blog does not reveal anything about
the third handset.
However recently, when a Twitter user had tweeted asking Nokia if the new Lumia handset
will have the PureView technology as well, then the response from the
Finnish handset maker gave strong hints at the possibility of the same.
Back
in February, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia unveiled
Pureview technology, which was debuted on the Symbian powered Pureview
808. But the Symbian OS is far behind when compared to the capabilities
of Android and iOS devices. Hence, reports are suggesting that Finnish
handset manufacturer is planning to unveil the Windows Phone 8 Lumia
series smartphones on September 5, 2012 at the Nokia World event.
Supposedly, it should be noted that back in April an image was leaked by news website, IT168.com,
which showed an unannounced Lumia PureView smartphone packed with an
impressive 41-megapixel camera with Carl-Zeiss lens and PureView imaging
technology, which can capture full HD (1080p) videos with Nokia’s Rich
Recording Technology.
Furthermore,
the report informed that the smartphone would sport a large 4.3-inch
capacitive touchscreen (curved glass) display that supports HD
resolution (no other details are available). Further it was also
revealed that on the inside, the Lumia PureView would be equipped with
some kind of dual core processor manufactured by Qualcomm and an Adreno
320 graphics processing unit.
Well,
with all these consistent features and informations, the yet-to-be
revealed Lumia PureView does not sound as if it is a fake product,
besides, it seems to be a true competitor against the third generation
Samsung Galaxy smartphone and the sixth-generation iPhone.
What
do you think, if the rumors turn out to be true and new Nokia Lumia
PureView handset is released, will it be able to take the challenge
against Apple’s and Samsung’s super releases this year? Or is it just
another Windows phone addition in the market by Nokia? Do share your thoughts.
