Sources: Nokia to Launch Phones with Optical Zoom, 12-megapixel Camera
ESPOO, Finland - PhoneReport's sources in Nokia and Carl Zeiss have revealed that the Finnish giant will rival its competitors with 12 megapixel camera-phones and possibly, with devices featuring optical zoom for their cameras.
The sources insisted that next year Nokia will surprise the market with its offerings. The devices containing the 12 megapixel cameras and optical zoom could be revealed either at the end of this year, or at the beginning of 2010. Considering the dates, it is unlikely that a Nokia N98 - the future Nokia flagship - would be announced at the Nokia World 2009 (2-3 September), but rather at the Mobile World Congress 2010 in February.
Nokia will most probably not launch N93-like devices, which transform itself in several shapes, which in turn, pay a toll in weight and aesthetics; but it will certainly launch a phone for the Nokia smartphone-enthusiast, according to our sources.
In a related aspect, a Carl Zeiss representative explained to PhoneReport during our visit to the Carl Zeiss factory in Stuttgart, the reason behind the delay in launching the Nokia N86 8MP: Nokia's competitors, in order to increase the megapixel count in their camera-phones, reduce the pixel size on the sensors, which compromises the quality of image (by introducing noise, etc.); while Carl Zeiss has tested a new technology for Nokia so as to not reduce the pixel size for the 8 megapixel camera sensor on the N86, which will ensure that the quality is optimal.
The Nokia roadmap leaked November 2008 does not detail any device that is to be announced post-March 2009, hence we are not able to describe to devices to-be launched.
