    Rumours: Microsoft Lumia prototype spotted online, could be Lumia 1020's successor

    Microsoft has yet to announce a true successor to the Lumia 1020 smartphone and while nobody knows whether there will be a second generation Lumia 1020, a prototype device with the model number RM-1052 was recently spotted on a Chinese auction website. The RM-1052 could be the rumored Nokia 'McLaren' which was expected to succeed the Lumia 1020. Tech specs include a quad core processor, 2GB RAM and a 1080p Full HD screen up front, but the size is unknown. Judging from the looks, it could be a 5 inch screen, which also makes sense since the Lumia 1020 came with a slightly smaller 4.5 inch display. The design looks in line with the 1020 especially the large rear camera housing. However, instead of a polycarbonate body, it is made of metal. The photo clearly reveals that it is a prototype device as there is the 'Property of Microsoft' and 'Not for Sale' branding on the back. Back in July, it was reported that Microsoft had cancelled plans for the Nokia 'McLaren', so even though this prototype made it to the internet, it doesn't confirm the existence of a successor to the 41MP Lumia model so do take this rumour with a pinch of salt.

  • Rumours: Nokia Lumia 1020 replacement coming 14 September 2014?

    Rumours: Nokia Lumia 1020 replacement coming 14 September 2014?

    The Nokia Lumia 1020 remains the world's only cameraphone with a 41MP PureView camera, but it seems like it may soon get replaced in the next couple of months. Serial leaker @evleaks has revealed that the Lumia 1020 could be getting it's end of life status on 14 September 2014. While this means that existing stock will still get sold, it also means that a new model cameraphone sporting a 41MP PureView camera sensor could be on the way. Admittedly, the tech specs on the Lumia 1020 are starting to look a bit dated with it's 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon CPU and 2000 mAh battery but it's camera remains unmatched with any cameraphone to date. No news or rumours have appeared yet about a possible successor or any Malaysia release dates but the next chance for such a device to appear would be at the upcoming IFA 2014 in September. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted as to new developments.

  • Nokia Malaysia launches Lumia 1020 for RM2499, includes RM299 camera grip

    Nokia Malaysia launches Lumia 1020 for RM2499, includes RM299 camera grip

    Nokia Malaysia recently launched the Lumia 1020 cameraphone in Malaysia for RM2499. As the cameraphone with the only 41MP camera sensor and the ability to take Lytro-like blur-free photos, the Lumia 1020 is probably the cameraphone to beat. While the RM2499 price is a bit high, this is probably because the RM299 camera grip is also included. The camera grip isn't just a frame add-on as it also packs in a built-in 1020 mAh battery, extending the battery life of the 2000 mAh powered Lumia 1020 by up to 50% more while giving a more camera-like grip for taking pics. Tech specs and features for the Lumia 1020 include a 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, the 41MP camera sensor, optical image stabilizer, xenon flash and 6-element Carl Zeiss lens. It comes in Black, Yellow and White and also supports 4G LTE. If you need more information, check out the Nokia Lumia 1020 site.

    The 41MP PureView equipped Nokia Lumia 1020 may soon reach Malaysia as Nokia Malaysia has been sending out invites for the launch event scheduled for 19 September 2013.

The 41MP 1/1,5-inch camera sensor comes with a 6 element Zeiss lens, Optical Image Stabilization and pixel binning so you can zoom in anywhere after you've taken the shot. Unfortunately, no pricing was available but Malaysia release dates should be on the same 19 September 2013 launch date or right afterwards. We're expecting it to launch with a local telco at the same time so stay tuned for further developments.

  • Rumours: Nokia EOS Going by Lumia 1020

    Rumours: Nokia EOS Going by Lumia 1020

    While it still hasn't been released yet another rumour has appeared about the Nokia EOS, Nokia's upcoming cameraphone. Rather than be called the Nokia EOS (which does give it sort of Canon digital camera like sound to it) the cameraphone may soon be called the Nokia Lumia 1020. This rumour comes courtesy of evleaks who has more often than not revealed fairly accurate leaks. They also revealed a press shot quality render of the upcoming Nokia Lumia 1020, although it didn't show the most important part, the rear of the smartphone. So far only the 41MP PureView sensor has been confirmed for their Nokia Lumia 1020 but all should be made clear on 11 July 2013 when Nokia will likely reveal the cameraphone, or at least have 41 million reasons why you should want it. Stay tuned for further developments.

  • Nokia set to Reinvent Zoom on 11 July

    Nokia set to Reinvent Zoom on 11 July

    While there have been rumours and leaks nothing beats an actual event, which is what Nokia has done by sending out invites to an event on 11 July 2013 in New York. In the teaser invite, it mentions "Zoom. Reinvented". This could be a direct dig at the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom which was recently officially announced and that Nokia are finally going to release their rumoured EOS cameraphone. The Nokia EOS has already been leaked many times and will likely be the Nokia 808 PureView successor, complete with larger than average camera hump on the back.

  • Rumours: Leaked Nokia EOS Photos Appear

    Rumours: Leaked Nokia EOS Photos Appear

    A whole bunch of leaked images of the Nokia EOS have appeared online. While there is no way to know for sure if they are the real thing, they certainly look real enough, not just because they don't look like it's predecessor PureView cameraphone, but also because there are just so many angles available. It seems unlikely that someone would post up this many photoshop renders.
