Leaked: Nokia Lumia WP8 frame
What you’re looking at is apparently a frame of an upcoming Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone 8. The screen measures about 10.9mm (4.3″). Check out the new Windows Phone logo. I hope there’s not a lot of additional excess borders.
What amuses me more is that people are getting excited over seeing parts of an unannounced phone 
.
4.3″ is currently Nokia’s top end, but will hopefully be dwarfed by something else with a larger screen to satisfy phablet chasers. Of course, there will be others for whom 4.3″ is already too large.
WPCentral reckons the whole next to the logo is for the ambient sensor whilst WMPU thinks it’s the camera.

Looks fake to mee… looks like an HTC model
HTC came to my mind too
I was thinking about Galaxy SIII
…Or, WP808
I was thinking s3 too
OH nooo…
I hope this is a fake – it looks like SGS3!! Why should nokia copy the “copy cat” sammy!?!?
Samsung Galaxy S III. Mmmmm!
Ugh, ugly…
Well, this is just the bezel immediately around the screen – so not sure we can yet make any conclusions as it might look quite different when actually in the body of the phone.
Having said that, it does look a little too rounded for my taste – but again, might look ok if its e.g. covered by a curved glass and flows nicely into a N9/L800/N900esque body around it…
True.
Lol…. it’s a screen frame.
Will we see screw next, that’s shaped wrong.
I would rather say 10.9 cm :/

hahahaha indeed
If this is true.. Then Nokia you’d better start firing your designers who might’ve come from Samsung. This totally looks like the Galaxy S3…
Am I the only one who thinks the design is almost exactly the same as PureView 808 ? Exept the ambient sensor is on the left side and not right…
This looks really bad….if its not fake then this Nokia wp8 will be nothing but very similar to pureview 808 design with 4.3″ screen
I find 4.3″ screen already too big, uncomfortable for one handed operation. 4inch max is best for me, how ’bout you guys?
If it was slimmer it would be easier to hold. e.g. SGSII vs Lumia 900.
Lumia 800 feels so nice in the hand. But I like the bigger screen on the 900.
I could see myself using a phablet.
N9 feels so nice in the hand
. Just kidding with you Jay!
Yes it does.
A little bit less because I take care of my N9 more and keep it in a case.
i dont think so windows give better imageing then symbian
same opinion as jay .id like a slim phone but with large 4.6~ 4.8inch display.
Actually I got super excited about the Phablet rumors, would love to try a 5 inch display (I thought that was absurdly big but now I can’t imagine using a screen smaller than the Lumia 900s- which is about 4.7″ when you count the bezzel and the keys area) so a 5 incher wouldnt be too much of a difference as long as not too much space is wasted.
Phablets are the new trend, hopefully Nokia can get on it before they become last years fashion.
I’m ok with the 900 size and use my left thumb for most movement. I like the shape of my 808 and could be happy with it being larger. I like how my N9 feels in the hand but miss that larger screen.
Haha I guess i value the feel in the hand more than the size of the screen hehe, but that’s just me. I just hope that there will be a 4inch windows 8 device from nokia. No more, no less. Haha
So, was the phone we saw earlier the 810? Is this the 910? Just thinking out loud… SGS3 came to my mind too but it is also a bit 808 or 610… I’ll reserve judgement until I see more than a bezel.
as others said i thought sgs3 prolly htc?
Has the same shape as the Noki phone used at the wp8 summit… How big was the screen on that one?
So Nokia tries to copy Apple’s marketing tactic now?
Just how long will we have to wait until someone “loses” his new WP8 Lumia in a bar or something like that?
And it looks really more like some boring HTC or Sammy Design. Hope its FAKE

Wow!! Engaget says the RT Surface may be just $199. I’ll take 3.
kinda big for ambient light sensor.
What happen to the keeping with the N9 design?
Teme,ber. There’s supposedly 2 phones coming out
O pleaaase no. I hope that’s fake. It’s ugly. I got spoiled with N9 and Lumia design
…. still love my N9
I think Nokia should hire the hardware designers from Jolla..
this looks like a mid-range device, not a high end one, even without the rest of the body of the phone. and i hate these rounded corners and how the capacitive buttons look
lol!!!
looking at the frame you can see that this will be a mid range device!!!??? wtf
joke of the day!!
nokia has run out of design ideas!
copycat nokia deserve to die
please don’t make another 808 wannabe like you did with lumia 800 and 900
what a unique form – maybe Nokia want to compete with Samsung who will have more infringement case with AApple?
it must be fake – a really hope so…
yep!!
That screen size is enough, i have a s with the same size screen and thats good size, anything more like S3 which is really max borderline is geting rediculous! note size is rediculous, how do u put that thing away. My hopes, 4.3inch HD 720P CBDAMOLED display. 12MP n8 camera or 8MP pureview cam. Snap S4 dual core chip. 1GB ram min. SD card slot.full hd recording. all the rest i know nokia can do. Cant wait. Also ive been speculating, the curviness of the leaked front may hint its a 7XX series sucessor like lumia 730 – 750 etc, and the “phi” is even better like Lumia 810 or 830.
Jesus, you guys are way off in your ” it looks like…” Check out the Motorola Atrix and Atrix 2 and you’ll see what that front cover really looks like.
Looks like these:
