Nokia Lumia 920 'to include wireless charging'

NEW YORK - The new phone will be called the Lumia 920 and will be announced at a special event hosted by Nokia and Microsoft in New York tomorrow.

The Lumia 920 will support wireless charging, technology blog The Verge reported. The site also said the handset would have a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and an 8-megapixel camera, reported the Daily Telegraph.

Nokia and Microsoft are expected to unveil a second handset, the smaller Lumia 820, at tomorrow's event. The Lumia 820 is said to have a 4.3-inch display, compared with the 920's 4.5-inch display.

Last week, images were posted online that purported to show both handsets. A Twitter account belonging to @evleaks published pictures of phones that looked similar to previous Nokia Lumia models, in a range of colours including yellow and red.

No other information was given but if the pictures are not genuine then they are certainly high quality fakes.

Nokia and Microsoft are pinning their hopes on the next Windows-based phones to challenge it and Samsung's Galaxy smartphones. Their joint media event in New York, which comes exactly a week before Apple is expected to hold an event to announce the new iPhone, will coincide with Nokia World, Nokia's major showcase in Helsinki.
