Mammoth Nokia Lumia passes through FCC, destined for Verizon

It was only a few days ago we saw our offset look at what could be the adjacent loftier-terminate Windows Phone device on Verizon Wireless in the United States. The image came from a leaker on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website (think Twitter). Now a Windows Phone device destined for Verizon passes through the FCC. Is it the aforementioned 1520 variant we saw a few days agone or different device? Let'due south find out.

Information technology was Friday when we saw what appears to be a variant of the Lumia 1520, simply destined for Verizon. The device was sporting a white casing, in addition to Verizon and Nokia branding. The source of the leak stated the device would come with a 20MP sensor (just like the Lumia 1520) and that this was a actually big Windows Phone device.

Earlier this summertime we saw some new devices on Advertizement Duplex, four from Nokia and One from Samsung. From Nokia we saw RM-927, RM-937, RM-940, RM-955 and Samsung gave us the SGH-i187.

Nokia RM-927 is the device making its fashion through the FCC at the moment. The FCC filing is useful at helping make full in gaps with all these devices. The Advertising Duplex written report from the summer stated that RM-927 was running on Verizon, which the FCC filing confirmed by indicating support for all the frequencies Verizon uses (including 4G LTE).

Information technology also revealed the dimensions of the device as 137x71x9 mm (the 9mm is an approximation). That would put RM-927 at nearly the same dimensions as the Lumia 625 (133.25x72.25x9.15 mm), but not anywhere nigh every bit big every bit a phablet like the Samsung Milky way Annotation III, which comes in at 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.iii mm. The takeaway? RM-927 isn't a phablet.

While we're in on displays, the Ad Duplex data noted that RM-927 had a scale factor of 150. That calibration factor has so far only been constitute on Windows Phone devices with WXGA displays, which means RM-927 might have a 1280 x 720 resolution display and not annihilation near 1080p.

Other tidbits picked up in the FCC filing about RM-927? You've got 4G LTE, NFC, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.0. What'south interesting is that this is the offset fourth dimension we've seen 802.11ac in a Windows Phone device, something that could be enabled past GDR3.

Nosotros'll dig around and try and find out more nearly RM-927 for you folks.
