What is the Nokia Batman and where is it focused?
Table of contents:
We've been talking about the phablet-this and the phablet-that-for a long time, and the news has escaped us a bit about the possibility of a new smartphoneto hit 2014. Luckily, there has been a handful of news related to the terminal, a little over a week before the Nokia presentation event.
Two possibilities have come out about what it is the Nokia Batman: a high-end terminal (really high-end) or a mid-range .
A mid-range terminal
The idea of making it a mid-range product comes from Tom Warren at The Verge. There they comment that in reality, the Nokia Batman is a successor to the Nokia Lumia 625 Yes, it would have a 4.7-inch screen just like its younger brother, and a camera 5-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front camera.
This is perhaps part of the introduction of a new “generation” of Lumia handsets, loaded with Windows Phone GDR3. However, I think we have an empty space left in all of this: the high-end. I don't think Nokia (or Microsoft) will dare to play during 2014 without a new leading terminal, I feel like there would be a gap to fill between the Lumia 920/925/1020 and the Lumia 1520.
A high-end terminal
Meanwhile, @evleaks has commented on his Twitter account that the Nokia Batman is the Lumia 1320. This terminal, as its number indicates, is a product that is positioned in the middle of the Lumia 1020 and the 1520.
In other words, we can expect a smartphone with high specifications. WPCentral says that it's actually the Lumia 929 that Verizon is going to sell, and that the Lumia 1320 would be the retail name for the rest of the world.
For those who don't remember, the Lumia 929 has a 5-inch 1080p screen, a quad-core processor, a 20-megapixel Pureview rear camera. If we compare it with the Lumia 1520, we would say that it is almost the same, only the screen is smaller to be able to sell itself as a smartphone.
A high-end makes more sense
Evleaks doesn't usually spread rumors just for the sake of it, his comments are always pretty spot on. Although The Verge must also have its reliable sources, calling the Lumia 1320 a successor to the Lumia 625 does not make much sense.
On the other hand, a smartphone with high specifications like the phablet but without being one, fits the puzzle betterIt would seek to compete with cutting-edge products like the HTC One, LG G2, and the well-known Samsung Galaxy S5 (and iPhone 5S… let's say), and it has the specs and display to do so.
