Nokia to launch high-end phone at MWC 2012? [Rumor]
Nokia had previously refuted the existence of the rumored 12MP Nokia Lumia 910, which has a lot of us wondering what will the company be unveiling at their MWC event. For those wondering about the significance behind Nokia’s event at MWC, it should be noted that this will be the Finnish company’s first MWC appearance in three years which seems to suggest that they might have something up their sleeves.
With the Nokia Lumia 710, Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 all announced, what else could there be left? Since the Lumia 910 rumor is no longer true, there are new reports floating about the internet that seems to suggest that Nokia will be unveiling at least one new high-end handset at MWC 2012. It was not specified if the alleged high-end device will be another Windows Phone handset, but that it would “run an unusual software feature normally found only on high-end smartphones.”
Unfortunately that doesn’t really tell us much, but either way check back with us during MWC 2012 as we will provide you guys with updates, details and hopefully some form of confirmation of Nokia’s plans for the future!
Now here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.
Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.
So, you happen to be rocking to one of the older Lumia handsets from Nokia, and would love to check out what all the hoo-haa is about concerning Windows 10 Mobile. If you happen to live in Poland, then here is a spot of good news for you to kick start your week – the Windows 10 Mobile update will be heading to the likes of the Lumia 630, 635, 640, 735, and 830 this coming December 14, whereas those who happen to be making use of the Lumia 520, 532, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 930, 1020, and 1320, will have to wait until February 1st next year.
Again, bear in mind that the Windows 10 Mobile update will only affect those smartphones which were purchased from Orange in Poland, so if you happen to own any of the above mentioned devices but from different people, then you would have to give the updates a miss.
A quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?
Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
