Nokia is heavily tipped to launch the first Windows
Phone device with a six-inch display later this month: images of the Nokia
Lumia 1520 have already leaked and now so have the specs and indeed, its
potential launch date.
As well as a 6-inch full HD display, the device is believed
to have 2GB of RAM, a serious Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 32GB of
built-in storage and, if that weren't enough, a MicroSD slot for further
expansion.
As well as a bigger, better screen, the phone will
herald the first major update to the Windows Phone operating system. As well as
support for full HD, the reworked OS will also feature a new Driving mode for
using a handset in the car.
Nokia is also currently working on a Windows-powered tablet
and there's a strong possibility that the company's first slate could also
debut at the same event.
Windows Phone devices have struggled to attract apps
from a number of the world's biggest internet and tech companies, most notably
Instagram and Google, but in just over a year, the phones have managed to knock
BlackBerry off the number-three spot in terms of global smartphone sales.
Whether or not it can build on this progress remains to
be seen, but in terms of imaging technology, Nokia Lumia Windows Phones remain
unrivaled in terms of their photography capabilities and for some consumers,
this performance is proving enough to tempt them to make the leap of faith.
