We may have doubts when it comes to the legitimacy of the recent set of pictures attempting to depict a metal-framed Nokia EOS, but the lion's share of leaked EOS imagery, that showing a more typical polycarbonate construction, has been seeming very much real. As we count the days until Nokia's July 11 event, when we're hoping to finally see this smartphone announced, some additional leaks continue to trickle out, and today we get some evidence of an additional color option for the EOS. So far, we've seen this apparent EOS hardware in yellow, then black/gray, and even red. This white ...

Rumors about a company looking to buy-up Nokia are nothing new. While nothing ever seems to come of them, those suggestions keep popping up again and again over the years, and it sure seems like more often than not, we're talking about Microsoft considering making the purchase. The subject is back on our mind today, but in a slightly different context, with Huawei voicing its interest in maybe snatching-up Nokia. Huawei execs are gathered in London for the P6 announcement, and Richard Yu, chairman of the company's consumer business group, took the opportunity to put forth the idea that ...

So far, Windows Phone has done an admirable job at avoiding temptations to get caught up in the hardware spec rat race, as so many Android OEMs do. WP hardware may not have the highest-end components around, but darn it – it gets the job done. Still, while the platform may not be racing to adopt the bleeding edge, it does need to modernize itself from time to time – just look at the addition of 720p support last year. We've already heard rumors that 1080p could be in the platform's future, along with support for new SoCs to help drive all those pixels. The latter's where our interest ...

With all the leaks we've been seeing in recent weeks, it's sure felt like Nokia's first 41-megapixel Windows Phone model, so far known by codename EOS, was nearly ready to launch. Last week, we learned of invitations going out for a July 11 Nokia event that sure seemed to hint that it could mark the announcement of the EOS. Today we add some more fuel to that launch fire, with an unknown Nokia handset passing through the FCC that sure could be the EOS. Nokia model RM-877 includes support for HSPA+ on the 850, 1700, and 1900MHz bands, as well as LTE on bands 2, 4, 5, and 17. Bands 4 and 17 ...

Nokia has been releasing new Windows Phones just about every month these days and they've been coming in all sorts of price ranges, shapes, and colors with some very innovative features and designs.  That Lumia 620 with its duo-tone translucent body just looks incredible, and the $130 Lumia 521 is probably the best deal for a high quality smartphone ever.  The Lumia 928 is a minor upgrade to the 920, but adds a great Xenon flash.  The new Lumia 925 brings a new design that features an aluminum rim and wireless charging sleeves along with the Pureview optical image stabilization and new ...

The Nokia Lumia 925 vs Samsung Galaxy S 4 question might have a more difficult answer than you'd think. Let's take the Nokia phone. It is, undoubtedly, the best Windows Phone money can buy at the moment. For how long? Most probably until Nokia's next Windows Phone, the rumored EOS, becomes available. It also happens to be among the best camera-phones on the market. The Samsung Galaxy S 4 needs no introduction. It is among the best three Android devices you can get today (depending on who you ask). It also happens to have one of the best cameras on a phone today. So it is just normal we did ...

Plenty of companies involved in the smartphone game can be referred to synonymously with the turf they occupy; when we talk about big news coming out of Cupertino, Mountain View, or Redmond, it should be readily apparent just which entities we mean. That's what we call a "metonym." Certainly, it's just as true for Nokia and Espoo, Finland, which is why we're finding it just a bit cheeky to learn that Samsung has set up its first R&D facility in Northern Europe right in Nokia's backyard. Indeed, of all the places Samsung could choose to set up camp, it decided to move on in to Espoo. ...

Take a look at our Nokia Lumia 925 unboxing! We've got Nokia's latest and greatest Lumia phone, the 925, in our offices, after we got some hands-on time with it at the launch event in London. The phone is made out of aluminum, at least the sides, top and bottom. The back is covered with a very soft-touch polycarbonate plastic and the front has a very good looking slab of glass that protects the screen underneath. As far as specs are concerned, you have a a 4.5-inch AMOLED screen with WXGA (1280×768) resolution and a 1.5GHz dual-core processor. The phone has 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal ...
