Or maybe "only" 6 megapixels

Nokia is preparing its next Nseries stunning mobile phone that seems to have an 8 Megapixel Camera with xenon flash, according to an image from a patent application filed by the Finnish company. The image shows a slider phone with a design resembling the one of Nokia N93. Apparently, the top part of the handset (meaning the camera) can be rotated to reveal its xenon flash unit.

While the N93 phone only has a 3.2 megapixel camera, this new phone that looks alike will have either a 6 or an 8 Megapixel one - the image shows only a sketch of the phone and it is not clear whether it's a 6 or an 8 printed under the camera's lens. Either way, the device will probably be the most evolved camera phone in the world. That's if, in the meantime, Samsung won't release its announced 8 Megapixel camera phone too. Or, who knows, maybe another important manufacturer is secretly working on a sensational camera handset and prepares it for a surprise release (we all know that Sony Ericsson, for example, already has a 5 Megapixel camera phone).

There are no details from Nokia about the next Nseries handset, not even unofficial information - all we know for sure is that it will have a super camera. With the sketched images and rumors about the phone spread all over the Internet, questions regarding its memory or features definitely come in the minds of all Nseries fans. Will the phone have 8GB of memory, like N95? Will its price exceed $1,000?

We think the new Nseries handset is probably the N94 model, but we have to wait for official information or for leaked details that will come before the official ones anyway. One thing is certain: this handset has all the chances to become even more successful than the N95 model is.
