Bob Freking Leave a comment

Over at New York, Nokia finally announces their next flagship phone – the Lumia 1020. The ultimate cameraphone reels in a 41 megapixel shooter with tons of hardware & software features, enough processing power with 2GB RAM and the playful & solid, yet familiar design from the Lumia series.

Previously dubbed as the EOS, the Nokia Lumia 1020 packs a 768 x 1280 PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack AMOLED panel, a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU and an improved 2GB RAM. It is all wrapped around a unibody polycarbonate casing with 32GB internal storage, Windows Phone 8 and a non-removable 2,000mAh battery.

But of course, let us not forget one of the main highlights of the phone – the camera. On the hardware side, the 41MP PureView shooter on the back of the phone has an aperture of f/2.2, and it features a mechanical shutter. It packs optical image stabilization, improved low-light performance, oversampling technology (now on video as well) and loseless zoom.

On the software side however, Nokia employs their new app called “Pro Cam”. What it does is it allows you to adjust specific settings to your liking such as ISO, white balance, focus & shutter speed. Features such as long exposure have been demoed on stage and it worked very well. Dual Capture also allows you to take two photos at the same time at different resolutions.

Nokia Lumia EOS finally seen, the 41MP Windows Phone

Bob Freking Leave a comment

It’s been rumored for so long now & we have no confirmations of its existence yet – but photos of the supposed Nokia EOS just made it to the internet. The EOS is reportedly packing a sensor similar to the 41MP Nokia PureView 808 (or even better), all housed into a slim Lumia design package and made to run Windows Phone.

PUREVIEW

We’ve been hearing the buzz from months ago, and we even thought that they would launch it last May; apparently, the announcement was for the Nokia Lumia 925.

BACK

The phone hosts a huge protruding camera & a clip for wireless charging on the back, and on the right side you’ll find the power button, the volume rocker and the two-stage camera key. Down below is the place for the micro USB and the speakers, and on top are the secondary microphone, the audio jack and the SIM card slot. Up front is a display of unknown size and resolution, and the rest simply screams Lumia 920 all over – from the bezels and all the design cues.

DESIGN

The phone will come in black & yellow; other colors and details are yet to be announced. Most likely however, Nokia will have a US launch first with a worldwide launch coming in a few more months.

What have you got to say about it? Is this the phone that will pull Nokia back from the ashes? Feel free to leave a comment down below.

Nokia to launch ‘EOS’ PureView Windows Phone

Louie Diangson Leave a comment

Nokia was reported to be planning to launch a Windows Phone flagship codenamed EOS which will use the same PureView technology found on the Nokia 808 PureView.

According to The Verge’s sources, the Nokia EOS will be the “true PureView Windows Phone” and will use a large sensor similar to the one powering the Nokia 808.

Like the previously reported Lumia 920 successor – the Nokia Catwalk, the Nokia EOS will also be clad in aluminum rather than polycarbonate as statement of its flagship status. No further details have surfaced but the Nokia EOS is expected to debut this year.

What do you say folks? If the reports are true, will you go for the Nokia Lumia 920 or wait for the Nokia EOS?
