A new leak suggests that Nokia’s upcoming 41-megapixel smartphone will launch as the Lumia 1020 sometime next month. The rumor comes to us from @evleaks, an anonymous Twitter account known for providing accurate information about unannounced smartphones. According to the latest rumors, the smartphone will be equipped with a polycarbonate body and a 4.5-inch 720p display. The main selling point, however, will be the handset’s 41-megapixel PureView rear camera with a Carl Zeiss lens. It has also been reported that the Lumia 1020 will include new camera software, known as Nokia Pro Camera, to compliment the high-end optics. Nokia is expected to unveil the Lumia 1020 at a press event in New York City on July 11th.
