Nokia is reportedly planning to launch a line of Windows Phone 8 handsets packing powerful 41-megapixel cameras. The rumoured EOS smartphone could come in dual and quad-core variants, purported inside sources told My Nokia Blog.
The Finnish phone maker is said to be testing prototype models of the two variations, but apparently there is no guarantee of both phones arriving on the market.
Nokia engineers have allegedly reported heavy battery drain with the quad-core Snapdragon 800 model, suggesting that the final product could pack a dual-core chip unless the issue is rectified.
The EOS’s 41-megapixel camera is said to be backed up by an LED and more powerful Xenon flash. Other features include an Amoled 1280 x 768 display, a Micro HDMI output and microSD support.
Nokia previously released the 808 PureView smartphone, a Symbian-powered device with a 41-megapixel camera.
Honestly – I’d rather see them drop the megapixels and just make durable tanks of phones like the old days. I’m tired of phones that I’m terrified if it slips out of my grip.
