Nokia Lumia 730 images leak


The first images of the Nokia Lumia 730 have leaked online.


Rumours that a follow-up to the Nokia Lumia 720 was in production have been swirling for some time now, with the latest report suggesting a launch some time towards the end of August.


Now we appear to have the first pictorial evidence of the Nokia Lumia 730's existence. WPCentral published the above image of a prototype device (it literally has prototype written all over it) in a fetching shade of green.


The Nokia Lumia 730 is rumoured to be Microsoft's "selfie phone," as it could well come with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera.


Elsewhere, the Nokia Lumia 730 should live up to its mid-range billing with a 4.7-inch 720p display and a quad-core Snapdragon 400 CPU. It's claimed that there will be an 8-megapixel camera around back, which could prove to be a bit of a low-light specialist.


As you can see, reports that the Nokia Lumia 730 will keep the basic design of the Nokia Lumia 720 appear to be fairly accurate. Of course the 720 was a much smaller phone, with a relatively diddy 4.3-inch display.


As well as a picture of the device itself, the report also yields a snapshot of the Lumia 730 prototype's software, which is a new firmware version called Lumia Debian Red. This will likely be built on the framework of Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1, or even Update 2, which is said to be headed for a November release.
