Nokia Lumia 920 could be first Windows Phone with PureView camera

Nokia will probably announce the two handsets at the Nokia World event next week. We have no doubt that Nokia eventually will use technology developed for the 808 PureView in other devices, but the timing has been uncertain.

Nokia Lumia 820 is a 4.3 inch Windows Phone 8 smartphone and it will be available in 7 different colours. Nokia Lumia 920 is a larger unit with a 4.5 inch display and the rumours says that this model could have PureView technology inside. Nokia took the world by storm when it introduced the 41 megapixels smartphone at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year. The Nokia 808 PureView captures photos using a very large 41 sensor and saves a smaller image by interpolate the original photo. The sensor in the 808 Pureview is huge and it requires a physical large space. We doubt the Lumia 920 will have a large 41 megapixels sensor, but a 20 to 30 megapixels sensor with the same pixel density should be doable. The final image quality will still benefit from the interpolation from a large sensor.

The Lumia 800 has been around for almost a year, so it is time for the replacement model.
