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.

A recent interview with Jo Harlow, Executive VP from Nokia may have confirmed that we will soon see Lytro-like cameras in Nokia's Cameraphones. In our earlier articles regarding Pelican Imaging's 16-lens array camera Nokia's involvement with the company hinted that they may use it, this interview just confirms it. While the interview was more about computational photography, it also dropped hints that we may soon see dual-SIM Nokia Lumia smartphones as well.

With Nokia's Catwalk or Nokia Lumia 925 already making it's official appearance, the next Nokia device to hit the rumour mills is the Nokia EOS.

Other tech specs may also include the same 4.5-inch AMOLED display as the aforementioned Nokia Lumia 925.

The Nokia Lumia 925 offers a number of nifty software features to go with the metal body. While it isn't the same as the Samsung Galaxy S4's S features, it does have a very close resemblance, especially since one of the features includes an eraser shot mode or as Nokia put it, the Remove Moving Objects feature for the Nokia Smart Camera add-on.
Other notable features include the Nokia Smart Camera: Action Shot, Nokia Smart Camera: Change Faces, and the Nokia Lumia 925's Low Light shot performance. As a reminder, most of these features will be available in the Nokia Smart Camera add-on which will be made available for Windows Phone 8 Lumia smartphones in the next few months.

Metal and polycarbonate Mix!
We really like it when rumours get confirmed, especially nice rumours like the aluminum chassis for the Nokia Catwalk, or the Nokia Lumia 925 as it is officially known. Released officialy in the Nokia event in London yesterday, the Nokia Lumia 925 isn't entirely aluminum unibody as earlier leaked images and rumours suggested. Rather it has a mix of plastic polycarbonate back with metal chassis. A matte metal band design goes around it with the aluminum frame acting as an antenna amplifier making it both tough and a better working phone. At the event, it was revealed that the Nokia Lumia 925 should arrive from June onwards and it will be priced at around RM1828.

Building upon the 5.5-inch and above phablet form factor that Samsung has created, the Lumia phablet will supposedly have more advanced specs than Samsung's Galaxy Note (no news if this refers to the Note I or the Note II). One of these features may also include a HD display which Nokia was earlier rumoured to be developing for their smartphones.
