Nokia changed the benchmark for smartphone cameras last year when it launched the 808 PureView with 41MP snapper. It was rumouredto have included this camera in its flagship Lumia920 last year, but that was not to be. However, speculation is now rife that the Finnish manufacturer will launch a Lumia phone 41MPcamera at its July 11 event in New York. And the company has nearly confirmed it too.
On the Nokia Conversations website, the company has put up a teaser that says there will be "41 million reasons" to attend the July 11 event. "41 million" is a clear hint towards the 41MPcamera, as it is the same number of pixels in the sensor of the upcoming Lumia phone. In the invite Nokia sent for the July 11 event, it said it will reinvent zoom, suggesting the launch of the phone currently being called Lumia EOS in tech circles.
In a blog post on Nokia Conversations, it picked five of its favourite internet memes. One of the memes carried the tagline: "Oh, so you've got a smartphone with a zoom lens... I bet that fits in your pocket perfectly." This is a jibe at Samsung's recently unveiled Galaxy S4 Zoom phone, which comes with a 16MP camera and 10X optical zoom.
The Nokia Lumia smartphone with 41MP camera has surfaced on the internet via leaked photos many times in the past few months. The images suggest a body similar to Lumia 920's made of polycarbonate and a huge camera sensor hump on the back. This camera is said to run on Windows Phone 8 operating system, have speaker grilles at the bottom, support wireless charging via a strap-on supported covers and come in red, white, yellow and blackcolours.
