New Nokia 'Lumia 730' to include 1 GB of RAM, Quad-core processor and dual-SIM

The Lumia 730, known internally as "Superman," is a forthcoming successor to the mid-range Lumia 720 from early 2022. Yesterday, the first photos of the device came forward, along with the new firmware, codenamed 'Debian Red.' At the time, the one piece of the puzzle missing came down to specifications. Luckily, we now have some more information to connect the dots.

According to our source of the original photos the Lumia 730 looks to exist the ideal mid-range Windows Phone eight.1 device, every bit the specifications (if accurate) should please almost at this toll range.

We should circumspection that these specifications are unofficial and therefore could change.

Lumia 73x "Superman"

four.7-inch (likely FWVGA at 854 x 480, only possibly 720P)
1 GB of RAM
Quad-core processor (unknown speed)
8GB internal storage
Micro SD expansion up to 128 GB
6.1 MP rear camera
5MP front end-facing photographic camera
Dual SIM
No dedicated camera push
Weight, unknown (described as "super lite")

Although the processor speed is unknown, it is likely Snapdragon 400 with a 1.6 or 1.7 GHz CPU. It seems unlikely that Microsoft would opt for the higher-end Snapdragon 800 in this series due to pricing constraints. All the same, a user report claims it feels "really smooth" when compared to the Lumia 920.

The 1 GB of RAM, if proven accurate, could make this phone a sleeper hit if it is priced correct. In the past, Nokia has preferred 512 MB of RAM for their lower tier phones. As the original Lumia 720 came with 512 MB of RAM, the chances the Lumia 730 would arrive with the same was a distinct possibility. With 1 GB of RAM and a beefier processor, the Lumia 730 could install whatever app or game on the Windows Telephone store, something that 512 MB phones could non.

Adding a dual SIM to this line as well gives it a pb for emerging markets, especially in India and China, where dual SIMs are the norm. Information technology is unknown if there is a Lumia 730 (single SIM) and a Lumia 735 (dual SIM), paralleling the Lumia 630 and Lumia 635 series.

When it comes to the camera, Tom Warren at the Verge reports that the Lumia 730 comes with a 5 MP front-facing camera, which is platonic for the growing 'selfie' tendency. Indeed, photos can be saved at four MP, suggesting that it is in the 4.1 to 5 MP range for the actual camera. As to the rear photographic camera, Nokia appears to be sticking with 6.ane MP as photos relieve at v MP (xvi:9) and 6 MP (4:3). The original Lumia 720 had ane of the best lower-tier cameras we accept used, often taking super precipitous photos that were ameliorate than the Lumia 820. Nokia later went on to utilise the same camera module in their Lumia 2520 tablet.

Finally, micro SD expansion and 8 GB of internal storage matches the Lumia 720's specifications, so it makes sense to mirror that with the Lumia 730. Combined with Windows Phone 8.one's power to accept apps and games installed to the micro SD card, users tin go up to 136 GB of full storage.

The Lumia 73x is expected to launch sometime this fall, maybe with Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 or even Update 2, which is expected by November.
