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.
Earlier this month, we invited media to join us in

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.
