A little over a week ago we told you lot folks about Windows Telephone supporting 1080p displays after this year.

The 1080p back up volition exist available for handsets over v inches, assuasive Windows Phone devices to compete against the surprisingly popular 'phablet' category. And it looks like Nokia may be ane of the kickoff to produce such a phablet, as early as July. But wait, there's more.

The Financial Times reports that Nokia is in the process of making a large screen smartphone to take on the Galaxy Annotation and other phablets. It should come with a crisp 1080p display likewise. However, the proverbial ruddy on acme should come in the imaging department.

Back at CES nosotros told learned about Nokia's strategy for the upcoming twelvemonth. Having a multifariousness of devices was a colonnade of that strategy. Another theme the company is focused heavily on innovation and imaging. Hither'due south Chris Weber, US President of Nokia, at the time:

"The nearly important thing nosotros tin can do in the U.S. market is bring exclusive devices and opportunities to each of the carriers," he said. "Doing that exclusivity and giving them something unique allows united states to get cracking carrier support."

Nokia is doing just that. We tin can add this large screen smartphone to our expected lineup of EOS, Catwalk, and the Lumia 928 for Verizon. EOS is expected to pack an 808 PureView type sensor, Catwalk is an aluminum unibody device, and the Lumia 928 is basically a 920 variant for Large Red.

What's exciting is this devices will nearly come out right after each other. May is when we should go the 928 on Verizon, Catwalk on T-Mobile and international carriers in June, all followed past EOS sometime in July for AT&T here in united states and elsewhere internationally. EOS should one of the more than heady devices, especially amongst photography enthusiasts with its camera around the xl megapixel mark.
