Nokia's Rumoured 'Superman' Could Be All About Selfies

A mid-range phone with a 5MP front-facing camera and 4.7-inch screen - Perfect for selfies.

 

In a bid to better appeal to young selfie-loving customers, one of the first phones to come from Nokia's stable after acquisition by Microsoft, could feature a 5MP front facing camera. Dubbed 'Superman' the phone will run Windows Phone 8.1, but as The Verge reports, it is unclear whether the company will market it as the ultimate selfie-taking device.

 

The intentions of the company to appeal to younger buyers is made even more clear given that the phone will feature a 4.7-inch screen and typical mid-range phone innards. If launched, the most distinguishing feature of the phone could very well be its 5MP front-facing camera, a massive step up from the company's current 1MP standard offering.

 

According to The Verge, Microsoft is currently working on two updates for its Windows Phone 8.1 OS, and the roll-out of the updates will coincide with the launch of new devices. The first update is scheduled for roll-out in July, while the 'Superman' will debut along the second update later this year.

 

Microsoft is also believed to be working on more Windows Phone 8.1 devices scheduled for launch this year. The most notable is 'Goldfinger' which was set to debut along with Windows Phone 8.1, but was delayed. It isn't known if any of the upcoming phones will carry the Nokia branding, with Microsoft not revealing plans of future branding.
