Rumour: Nokia Lumia 920's Successor To Feature Aluminium Body

The Finnish manufacturer could do away with polycarbonate to produce a thinner and lighter WP8 flagship.

 

Nokia's flagship Windows Phone handsets such as the Lumia 800, 900, and even the latest 920 have exteriors made of polycarbonate material (polycarbonates or PC, are a special type of plastic). Now, if the guys at TheVerge are to be believed, the Finnish manufacturer is moving towards aluminium for its next flagship, codenamed Catwalk. Despite the change of material though, you can still expect the next flagship to come in many colours. The company had previously used the aluminium unibody for the Symbian 3 based N8, and it was available in seven colours.

The metal clad body will enable Nokia to compete with the iPhones in terms of weight, and premium appeal too, some would argue. It's also said that the specs of the Catwalk will be same as that of the 920. I hope that includes the floating lens assembly and the hardware required for wireless (induction) charging. Otherwise, slimming down a phone just for the sake of it, and without other upgrades doesn't make too much sense. Considering that it's still only a rumour, let's just wait and see what Nokia has in stores for us. In a related news, the Lumia 920 is expected to launch around 15th of this month.
