We have no way of verifying the authenticity of these two images, but it appears to be of the upcoming Nokia Lumia ‘Catwalk’, a follow up to the Lumia 920 that reportedly sports a new aluminum chassis to help reduce the size and weight. The images showed up on the popular Chinese social network Sina Weibo.
The Aluminium frame construction, which can be seen in the leaked images, falls in line with the previous rumors, which suggested that the Nokia Catwalk will sport a metal frame, and will be thinner and lighter than the Nokia Lumia 920.However, the metal frame is only seen on the sides, whereas the back panel appears to be made out of plastic.
From the image, we can see that the microSIM door on top matches the Lumia 720's and indeed, it has the same "three dots" on the back for a wireless charging backplate. While moving the microUSB (or is it an HDMI out port?) to the top may seem unusual, we must remember that it is not a requirement that it be on the bottom of the device and OEMs can move things around.
As seen in the leaked images, the smartphone sports a micro USB (or micro HDMI) slot at the top along with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Also, the three connection points at the bottom indicate that the smartphone might come with wireless charging capabilities similar to those of the Nokia Lumia 720.
At the back, we can see that the LED flash has been repositioned while the camera seems to be protruded, unlike what we’ve seen in the Lumia range of devices till now. The speaker grill is also located at the bottom of the smartphone.
As a result of the new body, the device is 50 grams lighter (just 132g) than the current Lumia 920 and is supposedly about 2.3mm less in thickness (8.4 versus 10.7mm on the 920).
The timing of the device was reported to be for a May 15th announcement with a late June availability.
some country's may get non-aluminium finish or maybe polycarbonate body phone.
