HMD is reportedly working on a new phone which is inspired by the design language of the Nokia Lumia 1020. The new phone from HMD will have a large circular camera island on the back. You can check out the leaked schematic of the phone below.
As can be seen, the phone will have a total of four cameras within the circular camera island on the back, which also includes the flash module. For context, the Nokia Lumia 1020 from 2013 had a similar circular camera island but only one camera in it. It also looks like the new device from HMD will also come with rounded sides similar to the Lumia 1020.
The Nokia Lumia 1020 was considered one of the best camera phones of its time and HMD could also focus on the imaging capabilities of the upcoming device.
To recall, the Lumia 1020 comes with a 41MP rear camera and a 1.2MP selfie camera. For comparison, the iPhone 5s (from 2013) had only 8MP resolution for the back camera, whereas Nokia utilized the resolution to offer 4x lossless zoom at that time.
Unfortunately, not much is known about the internals of the upcoming HMD smartphone yet.
The recently released HMD Skyline packs a 108MP main sensor that has a sensor size of 1/1.67″. This is accompanied by a 50 MP 2x telephoto and a 13 MP ultrawide. On the front, the phone packs another 50 MP sensor for selfies. Speaking of the overall imaging capability, it has been well-received, especially for its price range.
The 108MP main camera is praised for capturing detailed and sharp images in good lighting conditions. It also includes Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) to reduce blur in photos.
Given the upcoming device is largely inspired by the camera-centric Lumia 1020, it may offer similar if not better imaging capabilities as compared to the HMD Skyline.
