14 DAY TRIAL // Next month, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia should make official its first large Windows Phone 8 device, namely the Lumia 1520, and more info on the handset’s availability and pricing has emerged.
New reports on the matter suggest that the smartphone will be released on AT&T’s network in the United States on November 8, after being officially announced two weeks before that, on October 22.
Furthermore, the guys over at WPCentral claim that the smartphone will be launched in four different colors, including Black, Red, White, and Yellow.
All four colors have been spotted online before, and there’s no surprise that all of them will be available for purchase, that’s for sure.
What wasn’t known, however, is the price tag that the device will feature when brought to the market, but which appears to have been revealed as well.
According to WPCentral, Nokia Lumia 1520 will arrive at AT&T priced at $699 (€516) if purchased free of contract, which would make it the most expensive handset in the Lumia series.
Of course, there is also the subsidized / contract price tag that the wireless carrier will announce for it, and which is rumored to be set at around $299 (€225).
With no official confirmation on this available as of now, we’ll take the info above with a grain of salt, though chances are that the rumor will pan out in the end.
For those out of the loop, we should note that Lumia 1520 is expected to land on the market with a large 6-inch full HD touchscreen display, as well as with a Snapdragon 800 processor packed inside.
Furthermore, it should feature 32GB of internal memory, a 3400mAh battery for increased usage times, and a polycarbonate design, similar to that of other Lumia handsets. A microSD memory card slot should also be included in the package.
The smartphone is also expected to sport a 20-megapixel camera on the back, which should take advantage of PureView and other imaging technologies from the company.
