announcing a large screen Lumia
device with Windows Phone 8 very
soon.
According to a Chinese website (via
GSM Insider), Nokia is likely to
announce the Lumia 625, a mid-range
Windows Phone 8 smartphone that
will feature a 4.7-inch display with a
resolution of 480x800 pixels. The
phone is expected to be powered by a
Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4
chipset with dual-core processor.
The site mentions that Nokia might
reveal the phone during its
forthcoming event on May 14 with the
Lumia 928 and Lumia 925, the
company's new flagships but also
gives a disclaimer that if the phone
doesn't release on that particular day,
then it's likely to get a separate event
in June or July.
A recent report had indicated that
Nokia intended to launch a number of
flagship devices later this year,
including a supersized phablet. The
report had cited people with
knowledge of the company's plan who
said that the phablet would be similar
in size to the Galaxy Note but will
have advanced specifications.
While the Galaxy Note is a 5-inch
device, a 4.7-inch phone comes close
to entering the phablet territory.
However, the WVGA display would be
a little disappointing as Windows
Phone 8 does support WXGA
(768x1280 pixels) resolution, which
the Lumia 920's display sports.
Nokia had recently confirmed the
Lumia 928, its new flagship Windows
Phone smartphone, through a teaser
on its US website that also displays
the image of the phone. The teaser
focuses on the camera capabilities as
it features the caption 'Capture the
Highlights'. The teaser follows a print
ad in the magazine Vanity Fair that
featured the same image and
mentioned that the phone will employ
Nokia's PureView imaging technology
for taking images in low-light
conditions and Optical Image
Stabilisation. The phone in the image
sports US carrier, Verizon's branding.
A few weeks back, the phone's image
was leaked on Twitter by the serial
phone-leaker, @evleaks. Looking at
the picture, it was apparent that the
Nokia Lumia 928 will come with a
PureView camera along with Xenon
Flash and come in a polycarbonate
body.
The Lumia 925 is said to be the
International version of the Lumia
928.
Besides these, it's also expected that
Nokia could be announcing its EOS
phone, a camera focused phone that
will feature a 41-megapixel sensor,
Xenon and LED flash and run Windows
Phone 8. There are also rumours that
the Finnish company could launch the
Nokia Catwalk, which is expected to
come with a 4.5-inch display and a
1.5GHz dual-core processor and
feature an aluminium body.
