Nokia's new design

Suspected the official presentation of the display image information, the shape of the Nokia this new machine is quite a character, did not last past the design from the Nokia N9, but still maintain the color with the style of the past. However, the handling of the fuselage corners, Nokia appears to be very bold, curved screen and curved design of the rear of the fuselage gives the unusual feeling. The thickness of the body, the Nokia mysterious new machine does not seem ideal, but the overall design looks too weird people get the idea of ​​a concept phone.

This cargo is the concept of machine?

Nevertheless, the function of this new machine in Nokia no doubt fascinated people. For example, will be equipped with 4.3-inch touch screen, and supports high-definition resolution. The same time on the phone's built-in camera specifications will be inherited Nokia 808 PureView's configuration, with 41 million pixel Carl Zeiss lens as well as to join PureView technology, support for 1080p full HD video recording function . Of course, such a strong function of the natural need a powerful processor support, Nokia aircraft is equipped with a dual-core processors, As for the specific model of GPU configuration have Adreno 320 graphics processor chips indicates the will be loaded Qualcomm Xiaolong S4 Pro family of processors . In accordance with the relevant information about the Adreno320 graphics chip programmable, supports OpenCL GPGPU specification and graphics performance up to the current four times Xiaolong S3, can provide a more realistic 3D games.
