NOKIA’S NEW LUMIA 1820 LINE-UP RUMORED TO RUN WINDOWS PHONE 8.1 AND 1440P SCREENS
Nokia has asked Mobile World Congress attendees to join it on February 24, where they’ll get a chance to see the firm’s newest hardware releases. The official event invitation didn’t give us any hints about what these new products would be, but a series of leaks have provided a few choice details about Nokia’s next Lumia devices.
It speculates Nokia will have three Lumia smartphones to show us, all of which will run Windows Phone 8.1, the next major update to Microsoft’s mobile operating system. If so, this would preempt Microsoft’s own unveiling of Windows Phone 8.1, which is expected to take place in April.
Quoting sources in Taiwan’s manufacturing industry, the three phones will be headed up by the Lumia 1820, a new flagship phone from Nokia. The specs sound optimistic, as they include the Snapdragon 805 processor – which Qualcomm has yet to release – and a “qHD” resolution, which we take to mean 2560 x 1440 pixels and not 960 x 540. The screen could measure 5.2-inches, and the whole thing may be powered by a 3400mAh battery.
Joining the admittedly exciting Lumia 1820 could be a pair of Lumia 1520 spin-offs. The Lumai 1520V could be a “Mini” version of the 6-inch original, this time equipped with a 4.5-inch display (just like the Lumia 920 and Lumia 925), a 1080p resolution, and a 14-megapixel camera. Additionally, a Lumia 1525 is mentioned, but without any specs. Previous rumors have also given the 1525 a 1440p resolution, plus a 25 or 30-megapixel camera. These reports also had the 1520V down as being powered by a Snapdragon 800 chip.

Nokia Normandy listed on a Vietnamese retailer's website - NOKIA X
Nokia Normandy would come with a 4-inch capacitive touchscreen display with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. It would be powered by a 1 GHz dual-core processor and Adreno 302 GPU coupled with a 512 MB RAM. Surprising factor was that, it would run on Android KitKat, as opposed the the earlier rumors that said that it could come with a 'forked' Android OS. Apart from that, the device would house 4GB of on board storage capacity. There would also be a microSD card slot which would support up to 32GB of external storage unit. Photography would be taken care of by a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus, LED flash and HD (720p) video recording capability. As hinted by the earlier leaks, the smartphone would also support a dual-SIM functionality as well. Other highlights of the smartphone would include: HSDPA (7.2Mbps) and HSUPA (5.76Mbps), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as FM Radio, microUSB and 3.5mm audio jack. There are hardly any information pertaining to the Lumia 1820. However, speculations are that it would come with a metal-body. Apart from that, the device is expected to come with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor backed by a hefty 3GB RAM. The screen should be dazzling at 5.2-inch with a 2K resolution. The device could also come powered by a 3400mAh battery and 32GB of expandable storage. It should be noted that these are just the rumored specs with the company yet to disclose the details on specs of both the devices. Availability and pricing would be revealed later next month, most probably at the MWC 2014.
