Nokia Lumia 1030 Release Date, Specs & Features: 50MP Giant Camera Plus 4 Rumors About 1020 Successor

Rumors have it that Microsoft is set to release a future flagship phone in the Nokia Lumia 1030, but with Microsoft keeping mum on the details, a lot is left to speculation, The Inquisitr reported.

Here are some of the details and rumors circulating online on just what the Nokia Lumia 1030 is going to be like when it's released out in the market.

1. The Look: Tieba, a Chinese website, was the first to dole out photos on what the supposed Nokia Lumia 1030 will look like. According to the photos, the phone will end up with a 5 to 6-inch screen with a 1080 HD display.

Phone Designer decided to take a crack at it by reimagining the phone and creating their own design based on the photos from Tieba and even uploaded sample pictures on their Facebook page. The designers chose an aluminum body with an irreplaceable battery. Their vision is also thinner than the Nokia Lumia 1020, with a size of 134mm x 68mm x 8mm.

2. The Giant Camera: One of the defining features that the phone will reportedly have is its giant rear camera, according to IT Pro Portal. Reports have it that the Nokia Lumia 1030 is going to end up with a Toshiba-manufactured 50 megapixel camera, which will top even its predecessor's 41 megapixel camera. Rumors suggest that it will also come with a mechanical shutter, a Xenon flash and a short pulse LED flash.

3. The Specs: Along with the photos, Tieba also shelled out details on the specs of the Nokia Lumia 1030, and they are pretty surprising, according to The Inquisitr. The phone will reportedly have a quadcore Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 2GB RAM as well as 32GB of internal memory.

There is also the chance that the Nokia Lumia 1030 will feature the Microsoft Windows Phone 8, according to Tech Eye Tech. This is one of Microsoft's more recent operating systems and it would make sense for it to be attached to the phone.

4.  The Price: Given its rumored features, there is a chance the Nokia Lumia 1030 is going to come at a hefty price, maybe even at $1001.01, according to Tech Eye Tech.

5. The Release Date: Dates are being thrown around on the possible launch of the Nokia Lumia 1030, especially since it's been a few years since the Nokia Lumia 1020. However, reports have it that the device will most likely hit the market by late 2015, according to The Inquisitr.

For now though, Microsoft is keeping mum and fans and gadget enthusiasts will just have to wait to find out the real deal.
