Nokia confirms 41MP sensor for device announced on July 11 event

At this moment it doesn’t matter what kind of hardware Nokia brings to the table on Windows Phone, It’s all eyes on Microsoft to keep improving the OS and bring us some much sought-after features and UI changes.

Nokia has pretty much confirmed the 41MP sensor on incoming EOS Lumia phone without totally spoiling all the fun from the Zoom Reinvented Nokia event in July 11 when we all expect to see and hear about Nokia EOS.

This confirmation of the sensor size comes from additional teaser published on Nokia Conversations that includes the picture above and text below.

There’s some speculation about the final design of EOS between the aluminium and Lumia 920 like design. I firmly believe the aluminium design has nothing to do with EOS and at worst is not even related to final product or Nokia in general.

Specifications for EOS are generally accepted to be something along the lines of this:

·         41 MP camera with Xenon flash

·         Nokia Pro Camera  software

·         32 GB internal

·         OLED Screen 1280 x 768

·         WP8 V 8.0.10322.71 (OS version on the profotype)

·         FM radio

·         Flip to silence

·         Takes a 35 MP picture and a 5 MP picture at the same time one to save one to share

·         No SD card

·         About 1 mm thinner than Lumia 920 with a big camera hump

·         No visible OS changes

One big mystery still surrounding EOS is the system on chip and how Nokia has been able marry the hardware with the 41MP sensor that is not even close to been supported by any of the system on chips available for Windows Phone at the moment.

Will Nokia have some kind of custom solution as on 808 PureView or will we see a major surprise with EOS having Snapdragon 800 inside? I’m inclined to believe we will see custom solution, but your guess is as good as mine.
