Nokia did not unveil a new PureView smartphone today, but tells us to “watch this space”

Nokia has just unveiled its first Nokia Android family of smartphones it calls Nokia X, but there was no word about the company’s bread and butter in smartphones - Lumia Windows Phones. Nokia, known for its advanced cameras in PureView Lumia smartphones, did not speak much about cameras either today.

However, with so much interest, the question about the next Nokia PureView device still surfaced at the Q&A session after the event, and while chief executive Stephen Elop confirmed there are no announcements today, he also teased us to “watch this space.”

This is pretty much a confirmation that Nokia is hard at work at the next PureView, which is great. We can also understand why Nokia did not announce it at MWC 2014 - it would have had to fight for press coverage with tens of other smartphones and, most notably, with the Galaxy S5 that’s coming soon.

Last year, the Nokia Lumia 1020 marked the arrival of PureView cameras to Windows Phone, and up until now the Lumia 1020 remains the undisputed leader in smartphone camera quality. Here is to hoping we can see the second-generation Lumia 1020 this year!
