A new Nokia Lumia phone, codenamed 'Atlas', with the Verizon logo has surfaced. The image was posted by@evleakson their Twitter account.
The phone looks like it could be a variant of theLumia 820, with similar specifications but meant for Verizon's network. Just a few hours ago, we saw Nokia pull this same trick with theLumia 810, a variant of the Lumia 820 for T-Mobile.
Not much can be said looking at the solitary photo that was posted, other than the phone has more pronounced rounded corners than the 820 or the 810, a front facing camera and a Verizon logo that looks like it was added at the last moment and pasted on the only place that was available.
If true, Verizon should be making an announcement for it shortly.
If you are growing tired of deciding whether or not to wait for the next-generation iPhone or grab one of the latest and greatestAndroidpowereddevices, then it might be the right time to extend your mindset and cast your net a little further afield. Microsoft has been attempting for quite some time to nurture and grow interest in theirWindowsPhoneplatform, and partnering withNokiaduring the Mango stages indicated their intention to eventually make a mass assault on thesmartphonemarket.
As part of a joint media event in New York City, executives and representatives of both Nokia and Microsoft have taken to the stage to introduce the new features of Windows Phone 8, as well as two new pieces ofNokiahardwarethat will be built around the aforementioned software on board. As expected, we witnessed the officialunveiling of the Lumia 920, a high-enddevicethat look seriously tantalizing and brings some impressive features to the market. In addition to that, Nokia has also introduced the mid-range Lumia 820 smartphone that is built for those who may have a smaller budget, or don’t require all of the features and power which the Lumia 920 offers.
Like its bigger brother, the Lumia 820 will come bundled with Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 OS, and will actually be powered by the exact same processor that has been included with the Lumia 920. TheQualcommSnapdragonS4 CPU is a dual-core 1.5GHz monster that will make browsing apps and multitasking a breeze on both devices. The device will come with a standard 8GB of internal storage capacity, but is expandable through the use of amicroSDcard, and will have a slightly smaller 4.3-inch display with a screen resolution of 480×800, that’s WVGA in geek speak. In place of the 920′s 8-megapixelcamera, Nokia is building their mid-range device with an 8-megapixel camera without the all-so-awesomePureViewtech, but does come with Carl Zeiss optics.
As you would expect in this day and age, the Lumia 820 comes with a rather gorgeous capacitivetouchscreendisplay, and just like the Lumia 920, it is actually usable when wearing gloves, which is extremely handy for those like myself who live in colder climates. To finish off what is a very nice little device, Nokia has included the ability to change the cover on the device, great news for those who like a little bit of variety in life. Apparently, it will be possible to purchase a nice little cover that actually brings with it the ability to take advantage of wireless charging on the device. Perfect for those potential Lumia 820 owners who feel like they might be missing out on owning a Fatboy charging pillow.
TheNokia Lumia 820is a cheaper alternative to the new Nokia Lumia 920 smartphone. Like its bigger sibling, the 820 will have a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual core processor and Windows Phone 8 software.
But it will be a little smaller, with a 4.3 inch display, and it has a 5MP camera instead of an 8.7MP camera.
There is one thing that makes the Nokia Lumia 820 stand out — the rear cover can be removed and replaced with a different shell.
Not only does that let you change the color of your handset, but it also lets you change the functionality. For instance, you can add a shell that lets you use a wireless charging pad to charge the phone’s battery.
That’s a feature that comes built into every Nokia Lumia 920 phone, but it’s just an optional feature for the 820.
daThe new Nokia Lumias have leaked out and they bring great news for Windows Phone fans -Nokia is bringing its PureView imaging technology to Windows Phone 8with a monster 4.5-inchNokia Lumia 920, designed in Nokia’s best N9/Lumia 800 traditions and with great new colors, at least if this here leak proves true.
Along with it comes a lesser specced and non-PureView 4.3-inchNokia Lumia 820with equally colorful jazzy looks and probably a more affordable price.
Both the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Lumia 820 seem to focus on the camera with Carl Zeiss lenses on both gadgets.
We don't know the actual resolution of the allegedyLumia 920 PureView camera, but so far we've heard speculation that a PureView Windows Phone Lumia could sport a 21-megapixel sensor. This would allow the PureView oversampling technology to combine four pixels into one super pixel when you shoot at 5 megapixels, which in turn would mean less noise and better performance in low light conditions, as well as some non-degrading zoom capability (not just plain digital zoom). Still, in all likelihood this won't be exactly like the monster 41-megapixel sensor on the Nokia 808 PureView Symbian device, but somewhat less capable. On the bright side of things - you don't have to deal with a huge bulge on the back of the device, and the upcoming Lumia 920 definitely looks very, very sleek, much better than the bulky 808 PureView.
We love thecolorson both the Lumia 920 and 820. That amazing yellow and vivid, almost crimson red right in the middle seem to set the new trend for Nokia Windows Phones.
As good and veritable as it sounds, this is still a leak so the final handsets Nokia unveils on September 5th might differ from what we see here. Still, to us it seems that there is all likelihood that those images are legit. If so, there will be a lot to get hyped up about in less than a week.
How do you like what you see? Could that be your future phone right here?
