Tech enthusiasts waiting to experience Windows Phone 8 are now being treated to the Nokia Lumia 820 release date. This smartphone running the latest Microsoft mobile platform is expected to land later this year.
The handset in question is said to be targeted at the mid-range market and it shows off a sleek and uniform appearance just as it’s been a rule with the Lumia range. One marked difference is its exchangeable shell design that not just provides flexibility in terms of colors but brings wireless charging into the picture as well. A portion beneath the case is reserved for a slot to slip in a microSD card to cater to additional memory requirements.
With respect to the hardware features, this smartphone sports a ClearBlack display spanning 4.3 inches. The included 8MP snapper is further accentuated with Carl Zeiss lens to make photography an engaging affair. A feature dubbed Smart Shoot allows selecting the best shot for each person in a group snap. The handset employs Nokia City lens for getting a fair idea of locations all around the world. Under the hood, a Snapdragon S4 processor takes care of all the operations.
The device’s integrated battery is expected to provide the juice for up to 8 hours of 3G talk time or 55 hours of maximum music streaming or 5 hours of video playback. As for the Windows Phone 8 OS, it follows a personalized approach with animated Live Tiles and a redesigned start screen.
Like we just mentioned above, the Nokia Lumia 820 release date is chalked out for Q4.
