Nokia is back here at MWC
with a press-conference where we expect the manufacturer to unveil some
quite intriguing devices. Last year, Nokia introduced the innovative 808
PureView and Lumia 620 to the world, and this year we're once again
looking forward to a new camera breakthrough. Sure, the Nokia Lumia 920
already has that beautiful 8MP PureView Phase II camera, but we all know
that's still light-years away from the quality of the good-old 808, and
that's what we're all hoping to see here at MWC - the real PureView and
Windows Phone - all in a single device. Of course, the surprises that
Nokia's hiding up its sleeve might be completely different, so let's not
hurry to get our hopes up too high.
Whatever Nokia is going to unveil, we're sure that it'll be quite exciting, so be sure stay tuned to us! This wonderful events starts at 2:30AM Eastern, 1:30AM Central | 12:30AM Mountain | 11:30PM Pacific (on the 24th) | 7:30AM GMT.
