Nokia is keeping its May 14 London event schedule under lock and key but that doesn’t mean we don’t have an idea of what to expect from its product line. As of late, the Finnish technology company has made strong efforts to promote its soon-to-be flagship smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 928. The big to-do as far as the Lumia 928 is concerned is its PureView Carl Zeiss lens camera technology which has had the internet buzzing for quite some time now. A bevy of other capable devices are expected to debut the event and this is what we think you can all expect.
The Lumia 928 has already been unveiled and will be available later this week but aside from showing off its impressive imaging technology, Nokia hasn’t showcased much else. That is more than likely to happen at tomorrow’s event so if you’re interested in making the Lumia 928 yours, be sure to tune in.
Also rumored to make an appearance is a Lumia tablet. The tablet would likely run on Windows much like its smartphones do, which would heat up competition in the tablet world as Microsoft’s Windows-run Surface already competes with Apple’s iPad and Samsung’s Galaxy Tab series. No word yet in terms of specs, price, or possible release date though if there was any time to introduce such a device, the London event would certainly be the forum for it.
Nokia also seems poised to release a line of smartphones, perhaps not quite up to snuff with the Lumia 928 but still adept nonetheless. The Nokia 925, codenamed the ‘Catwalk’ is expected to be almost identical to the Lumia 928 save for the cutting-edge imaging technology. The Nokia PureView 808 is rumored to have a 41mp camera, not sure yet if its front or rear, but if that turns out to be true then it looks like Nokia will have successfully revolutionized the smartphone camera for the better.
Unlike Google, whose annual I/O developers conference is to take place the day after Nokia’s, the Finnish tech giant hasn’t released a set schedule of keynotes, sessions, or even meal times. Why there’s so much secrecy, we can only further speculate. But the fact remains that Nokia has been periodically releasing the information that it wants made available to the public in strategic fashion to create the kind of hype that readily-available information just cannot do.
What are you all expecting from Nokia? Would you be willing to forego your usual Apple or Samsung device for the up-and-coming Nokia line of smartphones? Are you content with your current imaging technology or would you make the leap to Nokia’s? Let us know everything you think about Nokia and its rivals in the comments section below.
