Leaked Nokia Lumia 1520 pics suggest a
supersized, 1080p Windows phone coming soon
If the leaks from this
morning are to be believed, the world finally be closer to getting the
supersized Windows Phone it didn't even know it wanted.
The oft-reliable @evleaks,
posted an image of what it claims to be the Nokia Lumia 1520, a large-display'd
Windows phone, which will be released before the end of 2013.
The new phone is
rumored to be the not-so-secret Nokia Bandit, the codename for a supersized
(six-inchish) Windows phone. If the rumored (and decidedly unofficial) specs
prove true, the 1520 would probably compete directly with the just unveiled
5.7-inch Galaxy Note 3.
Whatever the new device is, it was certainly already in the pipeline
long before Microsoft's recent acquisition
of Nokia. While the next year will reveal what specific plans Microsoft has in
place for its new hardware wing, Nokia's recent Lumia strategy has bet big on
bleeding-edge camera specs, such as the Lumina
1020's 41 megapixel camera. It would then stand to reason to expect some
top-shelf camera specs from the 1520, which will find itself competing against
the Note 3's not-at-all shabby 13 megapixel camera that boasts thecurrently
pointless, but still impressive
ability to capture UltraHD 4K video.
The Verge has reported specs culled from unnamed sources that
the new six-inch phone will boast at least a 20 megapixel camera, a 1080p
screen (a new and as-yet-unannounced
resolution for Windows Phones),
and Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon processor.
