The Nokia EOS has to be one of the most leaked handsets of all time. And now it’s back – this time showing off its metal-clad bodywork.
The EOS is expected to launch in New York on July 11. Widely believed to be the first Windows Phone handset to feature Nokia’s 41-megapixel PureView camera tech, expectation ahead of the EOS’s unveiling is understandably high.
From these images, it appears that the right panel of the Nokia EOS houses the volume rocker, the screen lock/ power off key along with the dedicated camera button. The back panel of this forthcoming smartphone is also on display in these alleged shots.
Invites for the New York event are now in circulation where Nokia promises Zoom – as we know it on smartphones – will be reinvented. Nokia’s 808 41-megapixel camera used oversampling techniques during capture and one of the effects of this was that it offered a ‘lossless zoom’ – the EOS is expected to feature something similar.
Not much else is known about the EOS’s hardware and specs although reports suggest it’s likely to be largely similar to what we’ve already seen on the Lumia 925, meaning a dual-core Snapdragon CPU, 720p display with ClearBlack and PureMotion HD+ technology and 2GB of RAM.
Microsoft’s Windows Phone GDR3 update – the one that adds in support for quad-core processors and 1080p displays – isn’t expected to debut until later on in the year, so it’s unlikely the EOS will carry comparable specs top flight Android handsets like the HTC One and Galaxy S4.
That said no other handset will have imaging capabilities anyway near the EOS, so that’s quite a USP for the handset in and of itself. No one does imaging better than Nokia although Samsung is about to have a go with the launch of its Galaxy S4 Zoom, which has a 16-megapixel camera with 10x optical zoom.
In addition to this, earlier rumours have indicated that Nokia EOS will pack in OLED display, which has a screen resolution of 768X1280 pixels and 32GB of internal storage.
There have also been news reports suggesting that Nokia EOS will feature a new "Nokia Pro Camera" app that has a refreshed interface. This app will be in addition to the regular camera app. The refreshed camera interface will also offer manual focus option.
