@Evleak is popularly known for its leaked images of handsets and the like– and so far has a decent track record. This time round we got a glimpse of what the new Windows 8 phone might look like as well as some more voices supporting the ongoing rumoured specs.
You know what they say, a leak is not a leak without some substantiated images. And so GSMArena has been plastering the web with “behind the scenes” shots of the 1020 and since we got hold of a full closeup of the Lumia 1020. Apart from the different angles and colours of the phone, more excitingly, its going under the codename ‘EOS’ and runs a 41-megapixel Pureview camera.
According to the Verge the 1020 will come with Nokia’s Pro Cam application, which may offer advanced controls.
