Nokia EOS With 41-Megapixel PureView Camera Confirmed; Release Date Rumored For July 9

Nokia is reportedly working on a Windows-running Lumia smartphone with a monstrous 41-megapixel PuerView camera technology.

Last year, Nokia had set the benchmark for smartphone camera that sports a monstrous 41 megapixel in its Nokia 808 PureView smartphone running Symbian operating system.

Since the launch of Nokia 808 PureView, there have been rumors about the company working on Windows-running Lumia smartphone with PureView camera technology, code-named EOS, but the rumors were silenced after the 2013 Mobile World Congress (MWC) that took place in Barcelona back in February.


Now, new rumors have again surfaced which say that the device would look similar to the recently launched Lumia 920 and will be launched in the second week of July or on July 9, according to MobileGeeks.

The most recent rumor indicates that the device will come with polycarbonate case and that it spots a 4.5-inch display at 1280 x 720-pixel resolution. The Nokia EOS will feature the 41-megapixel camera at the back with a Carl Zeiss lens along with a new Nokia Pro Camera application, a new Camera UI.

The PureView Camera will allow capturing at a maximum of 34-megapixel resolution just like the Nokia 808 PureView smartphone. It will also have a Full HD and HD video recording capabilities at different frames rates.

Earlier, rumor by MyNokiaBlog suggested that Nokia built two different models of EOS smartphone with similar PureView camera technology. Both EOS smartphones had the same specifications although each will be powered by different processors; one with dual-core CPU and another with Snapdragon 800 quad-core CPU.

Though Nokia is working on both versions of EOS handsets, the blog mentions that the company is likely to release only one smartphone. The blog also explains that the quad-core model of EOS has poor battery performances, which ultimately led Nokia to release a dual-core variant of EOS smartphone. Nokia tested the quad-core version with a 2000 mAh battery similar to that of the Lumia 920.
