Today, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is expected to announce new Lumia devices, most probably the first handsets in the series to run under the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system, and one of them appears to have leaked online in a press photo.

Supposedly dubbed Nokia Lumia 930, the smartphone was spotted online a few times before, and is said to feature the codename of Nokia Martini.

Although the Nokia Lumia 930 is not official as of now, you can already get an idea of what it might look like, due to the aforementioned leaked press photo, available courtesy of infamous tipster @evleaks.

Said image also confirms the fact that Nokia is set to release the phone in a multitude of color versions, including Black, Green, Orange, and White, the same as it happened with other Lumia phones.

According to the latest reports on this device, Nokia might not make the new mobile phone official today, but will save it for an unveiling on April 19.

One way or the other, we should expect this phone to turn into the next flagship Windows Phone from Nokia, based on the specs that have been rumored for it before.

Nokia Lumia 930 is expected to be announced as the successor of Nokia Lumia 929, which was made official in the United States on the network of Verizon Wireless as Nokia ICON.

Thus, the smartphone should feature a 5-inch or larger touchscreen display capable of delivering a full HD resolution, while being powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor from Qualcomm.

Should previous reports on the smartphone pan out, we’ll also see it arriving on the market with 2GB of RAM inside, for increased performance capabilities.

Moreover, the mobile phone is rumored to sport a 20-megapixel camera on the back, with the same high-end imaging capabilities that Nokia Lumia ICON, Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1020 were launched with before it.

Should Nokia unveil the device today, it will announce it as the first flagship smartphone out there to run under the new Windows Phone 8.1 operating system, though other handsets powered by the OS are also expected.

Among them, we can count the Nokia Lumia 630, a mid-range device packing a 4.5-inch screen, as well as Nokia Lumia 530, which should arrive as an entry-level phone, the successor of Lumia 520 and Lumia 525.

Microsoft’s BUILD 2014 conference is set to kick off in less than an hour, so stay tuned to learn whether Nokia will finally make the new flagship Lumia 930, along with other Windows Phone 8.1 devices, official today.
