SmartPhoneGeeks.in got hold of a render of what is claimed to be the Nokia 801. The Nokia 801 will be the successor to the Nokia N8, which is still the best cameraphone out there. The Nokia 801 will run Nokia Belle, and sport NFC and a 12-megapixel camera.

Here is what is currently rumored to come with the Nokia 801:

  • Runs Nokia Belle OS
  • 4-inches AMOLED ClearBlack Display
  • 640 x 360 pixels resolution
  • NFC
  • 1.4 GHz processor
  • 512MB RAM
  • 12MP camera with dual-LED flash
  • 1080P video recording

The device is also packed in the same polycarbonate shell as the Lumia 800/N9.

It will be interesting to see how Nokia will manage to fit the 12-megapixel sensor inside this. If this is really a successor to the N8, we need good optics. The render doesn’t show a thick design, so my guess is that the camera module will make a pretty big bump in the back of the device.

A rumor during the weekend suggested that this will be Nokia’s final device to sport Nokia Belle (or any future version of it).

Eldar Murtazin just “confirmed” on Twitter that the leaked render actually is the real deal. Could we see this announced at Mobile World Congress at the end of this month?
