Nokia Lumia 900 with LTE rumored to be revealed at CES 2012
Looking forward to some new LTE-capable Windows Phone devices? Well assuming Paul Thurrott of Winsupersite’s information is on the money, it looks like we will be able to expect three LTE-capable Windows Phone handsets make an appearance at CES 2012. Two of the devices we have mentioned before – the Samsung Mendel and the HTC Radiant, and the third would be the highly rumored Nokia Lumia 900, or better known as the Nokia Ace.
Paul Thurrott also suggested that the Nokia Ace, Samsung Mendel and the HTC Radiant will all be making their way onto AT&T’s network, which given how the carrier has recently launched their own LTE network, it’s not really a stretch of the imagination. He even went on to specify that the devices would be launched by the middle of 2012 and even outed the release date of the Nokia Ace for the 18th of March 2012.
It should be noted that none of these devices can be confirmed, assuming they even exist at all, let alone come with a specific release date attached to it. However for Windows Phone fans or hopefuls, we guess you have these dates to look forward to. Until then we suggest you take this with a grain of salt, at least until CES 2012 where we are hoping more information will be revealed.
Now here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.
Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.
So, you happen to be rocking to one of the older Lumia handsets from Nokia, and would love to check out what all the hoo-haa is about concerning Windows 10 Mobile. If you happen to live in Poland, then here is a spot of good news for you to kick start your week – the Windows 10 Mobile update will be heading to the likes of the Lumia 630, 635, 640, 735, and 830 this coming December 14, whereas those who happen to be making use of the Lumia 520, 532, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 930, 1020, and 1320, will have to wait until February 1st next year.
Again, bear in mind that the Windows 10 Mobile update will only affect those smartphones which were purchased from Orange in Poland, so if you happen to own any of the above mentioned devices but from different people, then you would have to give the updates a miss.
A quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?
Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
