Specifications include a 5-inch 1080p display and 2GB of RAM, but the handset\u2019s processor and other internals remain a mystery. The device is powered by Windows Phone 8.1, and it has a notice on its back that reads, \u201cprototype property of Microsoft Mobile.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"box-ad-container post-content-break\"><\/div>\n<p>The camera is, of course, the handset\u2019s most obvious highlight, and it\u2019s thought it could be better than or equal to the Lumia 1020\u2032s 41-megapixel sensor. It clearly has an LED flash rather than the 1020\u2032s Xenon one, though, and it appears to be lacking a mechanical shutter.<\/p>\n<p>Because this is a Microsoft device \u2014 albeit carrying the Nokia name \u2014 we know it\u2019s a fairly recent model. What\u2019s unclear at this point, however, is whether this is merely a prototype made for testing purposes that will never enter the market, a premature version of the Lumia 1020 that didn\u2019t make the final cut, or an early look at a future Microsoft smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>The device appears to made almost entirely out of aluminum, with a small plastic strip along its bottom edge.\u00a0<em>The Verge\u00a0<\/em>suggests this could be the rumored \u201cNokia McLaren,\u201d a device that was expected to succeed the Lumia 1020 and deliver innovative, Kinect-style gesture controls \u2014 but ended up being canceled earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>For now, we\u2019ll just have to wait and see whether the RM-1052 ever shows its face in an official capacity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sourcevia-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">SOURCE<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/2.taobao.com\/item.htm?id=42645439494&amp;spm=a1z0k.7386009.1997989141.5.jdytSt&amp;_u=u1isd93r807b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TAOBAO<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">VIA<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2014\/11\/30\/7309067\/microsoft-lumia-leaked-photos-camera-bump-rumor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE VERGE<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[metaslider id=801] The first Lumia smartphone to sport a Microsoft logo wasn\u2019t exactly the cutting-edge flagship we were hoping for, but you can be sure Microsoft has exciting devices up its sleeve for the future.
