Nokia EOS: The Camera Giant Windows Phone

As per reports, the Nokia EOS, which is Nokia’s much talked about camera phone, is said to be undergoing testing by AT&T with the code name Elvis. While till now no details about the device, especially the camera, are available, rumours claim that the phone may be launched on July 9.

The Nokia EOS, is expected to have a powerful camera like the 41 MP camera of the Nokia 808 PureView. Also considering Nokia’s excellence in low-light photography in the Lumia phones, the EOS should be even better than that.

According to the sources, the Nokia EOS could be comparable to the Nokia Lumia 920 when it comes design, except that the polycarbonate body is highly tapered at both ends, giving the impression of a much slimmer device. Even the screen size and resolution is the same as the Lumia 920.

When it comes to the camera, it is said that there is a sensor bulge which houses the camera and the Xenon flash along with a small red LED which seems to be a focus assist light. Even though the number of pixels are not marked, the flash and lens are both smaller than the Nokia 808 PureView. There is a new camera app called “Nokia Pro Camera” with a completely new interface and manual focus.

Images of an alleged Nokia EOS chassis have leaked from what appears to be a factory, lending some credence to previous rumors of a camera-centric handset from the Finnish outfit. Shots from GSM Arena and others also show what looks like a Nokia Lumia 920, right down to the position of the ports and buttons -- but with an enormous camera bump that takes up almost half of the back cover. So far we've seen it leak out in yellow, red and black, and if it's real, looks to be the holy grail that many Nokia lovers have been seeking: a Lumia 920 and Pureview 808mashup, resulting in a 41-megapixel WP8 handset. All that giddiness aside, such a device could merely be a prototype and will stay a rumor until confirmed by Nokia -- meanwhile, you can check the source and coverage links below for many, many more images, and decide for yourself.
