Nokia teases next Lumia with "more than your eye can see" promo

Published by at

Tomorrow, May 14th, Nokia is holding an event in London to announce a new Lumia flagship product. As part of the build up to the announcement Nokia UK has published a teaser video for what appears to be a new Lumia handset. The video, which is available on YouTube and was broadcast on British TV last night, has a tag line of "more than your eye can see", suggesting that we'll some innovating on the imaging side of the product.

The short video starts by showing the top of the device, with what appears to be a metallic casing, the traditional top speaker, and the same front facing camera module that's found on the Nokia Lumia 720. Subsequently the main camera module is shown, slightly raised from the rest of the device, and accompanied by a dual LED flash.

Judging by the size of the LED flash the main camera module does appear to be appear a little bigger than that found on the Lumia 920, but it does not quite match the size of the Nokia 808 PureView. This suggests an evolution of the Nokia Lumia 920's imaging capabilities, rather than a PureView 808 like generational step forward. The device shown in the teaser is in line with leaked images for a device named "Catwalk", which is likely to carry to the Nokia Lumia 925 index number.

While Nokia is likely to place an Nokia 808 PureView like camera module (i.e. 41 megapixel CMOS image sensor, at a 1/1.2" image sensor format) in a Windows Phone device at a future date, the likelihood is that the inherent hardware requirements mean this will not happen until the next generation of Nokia's Windows Phone hardware family comes on stream later this year. 

The full details will no doubt emerge at tomorrow's Nokia event. All About Windows Phone will be reporting live from the event, so check back tomorrow, from 10am for more information.

Here's the full teaser video:
