It's never too late for leaked photos.
Nokia and Microsoft have a Windows Phone event scheduled for tomorrow and the Finnish company is expected to introduce its Windows Phone 8 offerings to the world. However, it seems a little leak has provided us with some information on Nokia's upcoming handsets prior to tomorrow's unveiling.
The Verge cites several sources that say the Nokia Lumia 920 will be the company's new flagship Windows Phone. Not only that, but the device will apparently come with wireless charging as well as a 4.5-inch display, a 1.5GHz processor (dual core), 1GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. The phone will also feature one of Nokia's PureView camera, though it will be an 8-megapixel sensor, as opposed to the 41-megapixel sensor we saw in the 808 PureView earlier this year. Not to get left behind, the Lumia 820 also includes wireless charging. The image below shows the wireless charging aspect of the Lumia 920.
As far as aesthetics are concerned, the design is in keeping with that signature Lumia look that we know so well. What we don't know is how much these phones will cost and what networks they'll be available through when they launch. You'll have to sit tight and wait until tomorrow for that information.

I was expecting something along 13 MP.
It's a phone. Why would you pack a 13MP sensor with crappy phone camera optics? At these resolutions (pretty much 6MP+ it all comes down to the optics. Everything else is just marketing gimmicks.

Are there any new job openings over there at Nokia, where you work?
Hopefully they will have more apps withing the next few years because I really liked the way the OS runs
I was expecting something along 13 MP. Specially since it's using the brand PureView. After releasing a sweet 41 MP sensor, a 8 MP feels.... lacking.
Anything else sounds quite good.

Should wait until tomorrow to get the actual specs instead of rumors. Many thought the 41Mpx was ridiculous, Nokia proved them wrong, who knows what they'll do this time.
I lol'd at this, but seriously, you gotta admit no-one is going to mistake one of these for a Galaxy S-whatever or an iPhone. "Something snatched from the future" did seem a little hyperbolic, though.
I think that's the point, if you put things that are obviously copied from other phones like, yknow, rounded corners, you get a billion dollar fine
You do realise the Nokia have had the best phone optics for years, Carl Zeiss lenses?
Indeed, my old Nokia brick phone that I loved for years and years had a beautiful Carl Zeiss lens... which I never used once. I understand that smartphones are a touch more multimedia friendly than phones from the early 2000's, but still; if the camera on the phone is your make-or-break point in your purchasing decision, then you perhaps have some priorities that are a little off kilter.
At any rate, I am not knocking camera phones. The point is that I loved my old Nokia because it made great phone calls, and had reception EVERYWHERE. The fact that it had a great camera (for its day at any rate) was not something that was of large consideration then, and while I will get more use out of one with my next phone, it will not be a breaking point if the camera is not 'perfect', or xxMP, or have some brand of camera tech. It just has to take a picture, and be passable enough to share on FB so that family can see my son from time to time.
True. At least it's not another cookie cutter black slab (not that that makes any difference to me - I just look at the screen)
That is true, but what really annoys people is when they do have to take a picture, they want it to be the best image quality possible and taking an otherwise good standard of MP rating and image enhancement software then pairing it with the crappiest optics is just rude. All phone makers should take note, OK Carl Zeiss has an exclusivity agreement with Nokia but what the hell is stopping Samsung, Motorola or Apple from having a chat with the people from Sigma, Canon or Nikon? C'mon guys, it's not rocket science.
and spare you the pain of broken connector! it's a very must from my point of view. Since the palm in 2008-2009 I was wonderring why no one tried again wireless charging?
Now I'm happy!!
Go nokia go!
