Yesterday, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia announced the release of a new flagship Windows Phone, none other than the long-rumored Nokia Lumia 900. The handset is set to arrive on shelves in the United States soon, with support for AT&T’s LTE network.
This is the first smartphone from Nokia to be announced with support for 4G networks, and will be delivered to the United States in the coming months exclusively on the airwaves of wireless carrier AT&T.
Following the official announcement at the 2012 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nokia published the full hardware specifications list for the new device.
For those who missed the official announcement, we should note that the Nokia Lumia 900 would arrive on shelves with a 1.4 GHz single-core application processor inside, as well as with a 4.3-inch touchscreen display with Corning Gorilla Glass, capable of delivering an 800 x 480 pixels resolution.
Nokia packed the new device with an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, with the ability to record 720p videos, as well as with a 1-megapixel camera on the front for video calling.
The Nokia Lumia 900 will hit shelves with 512 MB of RAM to complement the Qualcomm APQ8055 + MDM9200 (WCDMA) CPU, as well as with 14.5 GB of mass memory that cannot be expanded using MicroSD memory cards. However, users will benefit from access to SkyDrive cloud storage.
In addition to offering support for LTE Band 17 (700), and LTE Band 4 (1700/2100), the new smartphone also arrives on shelves with WCDMA Band I, II, V and VIII connectivity, as well as with GSM (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900MHz) capabilities.
WiFi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth capabilities were packed inside the new device as well, along with a BP-6EW 1830mAh battery that can deliver up to 7 hours of talk time, 6.5 hours of playback time, or up to 300 hours of standby time.
Nokia’s Lumia 900 is being launched with Micro USB port, 3.5mm AHJ Connector, Gyroscope, Proximity sensor, Magnetometer Sensor, Ambient light sensor, and 3D Accelerometer. It also sports a built-in GPS receiver to offer access to navigation services.
The new Nokia handset is powered by Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.5 Mango Commercial Release 2 platform, and comes loaded with applications and software such as Bing Maps, AT&T Navigator, Tango Video Calls, Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive, ESPN Sports Hub, Xbox Live, and more.
What we know at the moment on the new device is when it will arrive on the market. AT&T said that it should be released in the next few months, so stay tuned for more.
