Nokia Lumia 1020 to be unveiled at Nokia Zoom in August

The Nokia EOS or Nokia Lumia 1020 has been doing the rounds in the rumorland for a while now and the upcoming Lumia smartphone is expected to be announced at the "Nokia Zoom" event on July 11.The pricing details of the Nokia Lumia 1020 have been revealed ahead of its official release, courtesy of a leaked inventory of a Microsoft Store. According to the document, the Nokia EOS will be called as Lumia 1020 as initially rumoured, and not Lumia 909 as suggested by evleaks. Furthermore, the Nokia Lumia 1020 is said to retail for $602 SIM-free and the smartphone will be available in Yellow, Black and White colour options. The shipments of Nokia Lumia 1020 will hit the stores on July 22 and the smartphone is expected to go on sale in the first week of August. We will be bringing all the latest news from the "Nokia Zoom" event as and when it happens. Nokia is holding a big event in New York City on July 11, which it calls "Zoom Reinvented." We have already seen major leaks about a spectacularly powerful Nokia EOS camera phone with a 41-MP camera, in many ways it is more of a camera with a phone attached. The device is likely to be a smartphone flagship for Nokia; it is though to be called the Nokia Lumia 1020. It is one of the newly invented ‘ phamera ‘(Just like the Samsung Galaxy S IV Zoom) It turns out that a lot of invites have been sent out to international media, not to mention high-level Nokia employees are teasing the EOS on Twitter, lending credence to the rumours that next month's event will likely feature a Lumia device with much greater imaging capabilities than anything else in Nokia's Windows Phone line up." As for the phone specs itself, we don't have a ton of information beyond the camera features that have been heavily touted: "While Nokia uses the PureView brand on a number of existing devices, such as the Lumia 920, 925, and 928, we have yet to see a Windows Phone with the same calibre camera that was on the original 808 PureView Symbian smartphone. That phone had a massive 41-megapixel sensor with unique technology that let users zoom in on an image with no loss of quality, and featured superb low-light capabilities." The party bears a new tagline too, “Zoom. Reinvented, after dark.” This is all in preparation for the Nokia Lumia 1020 / EOS launch. The phone will pack a 41MP sensor (41 million reasons) and that will enable zoom akin to the one the Nokia 808 PureView had, that was PureView phase 1. Then the Lumia 920 came with a smaller sensor, but optical image stabilization and focus on low-light performance, which was PureView phase 2. With all those hints of zoom and low-light imaging, are we about to see PureView phase 3 that combines the two previous technologies? Given the recent barrage of EOS leaks, we naturally have to wonder if an 808 PureView-like Lumia device will be the star of the show, though it could be something as simple as the Lumia 925. So far there is a lot of mystery regarding whether the Nokia EOS will sport a metallic body or a polycarbonate one. The recent leaks point to a metallic body. However, the earlier leaks had suggested that Nokia EOS will come with a polycarbonate body much like the other smartphones in the Nokia Lumia range. Earlier rumours have suggested that Nokia EOS will pack in OLED display, which has a screen resolution of 768X1280 pixels. The smartphone is also expected to have 32GB of internal storage. Some purported images indicate that the Nokia EOS will come with a dedicated camera button that will be situated on the right panel. There have also been news reports suggesting that Nokia EOS will feature a new "Nokia Pro Camera" app that has a refreshed interface. This app will be in addition to the regular camera app. The refreshed camera interface will also offer manual focus option.
