Exclusive: New render of 41MP Nokia Lumia 1020 in yellow, white and black plus more details revealed

Every bit we get closer and closer to Thursday, it is probably of little surprise that more information is coming out about Nokia'due south 41MP Windows Phone, the Lumia 1020. The device, which has gone by the codename 'Elvis' on AT&T and 'EOS' in general, is expected to be Nokia's biggest splash yet in mobile photography since the PureView 808, but this time with the power of Windows Phone backside it.

In the new render higher up, you can clearly see an unbranded Nokia Lumia 1020 in yellowish, along with 3 other 1020's in xanthous, black and white with the 41MP camera exposed. Featuring a Xenon and LED wink, a massive photographic camera sensor (and $70 optional photographic camera grip accessory), the Lumia 1020 should give photo buffs a new dream phone for everyday use.

We can as well confirm a few more tidbits about this phone before the reveal…

Information technology has optical image stabilization (OIS) built in
It takes the image in a 32MP and 5MP at the same time in 16:9
The 5MP image is over sampled dropping 7pixels into one "super pixel"
It shoots 38MP in four:3
"Nokia 909" was an early name for it just it will be "Lumia 1020" for release
2GB of RAM, an increment of 1GB from other high stop Windows Phone eight devices
32GB of internal storage, no SD
WP8 V eight.0.10322.71

The improver of OIS sets the Lumia 1020 autonomously from the PureView 808, which lacked the power to take non-blurry photos in low lite. This same OIS engineering science was introduced with the Lumia 920, and followed up in the Lumia 928 and Lumia 925.

Combined with the much larger camera sensor, the F2.two. aperture and now OIS, the Lumia 1020 should easily vanquish its competition in the mobile world. The addition of extra RAM is nearly likely required for the massive images that this phone will produce.

Likewise, we can share some details on the Pro Camera app, an exclusive Nokia offering that will give avant-garde photo settings to users in "live mode" significant you can change them like the tertiary party Pro Shot app. Those settings include

ISO

The inventory price (off-contract) lists the phone for $602 and in iii colors, including yellow, white and black, though information technology will get for significantly cheaper on contract or the AT&T subsidized cost.

No word on international availability just it has been reported that the Great britain volition be getting the phone, hinting that if this device is exclusive to AT&T, it won't be for long at all.
