Nokia Lumia 900 rumored specs reiterated: expected to come with LTE

In the last couple of days, the Nokia Lumia 900 has repeatedly leaked with images here and there confirming a larger Nokia Windows Phone than the current 3.7-inch breed. And today PocketNow seems to have confirmed all previous rumors and repeats much of our perception about the Lumia 900 with more certainty. 

Nokia Lumia 900 rumored specs reiterated: expected to come with LTE
The Lumia 900, code-named Eloko, will arrive with both AT&T 3G and T-Mobile AWS 1700 Mhz band support, which hints that it could get released on both carriers. The handset will allegedly come with 4.3-inch WVGA display, 512MB of RAM, an 8-megapixel camera, and a 1830mAh battery.

The Lumia 900, previously referred to as Nokia Ace, will be a relatively heavy device tipping the scales at 5.64 ounces (160 g), which is possibly and hopefully because LTE is included. The device has a 0.47-inch (12mm) thick profile. The rest of the details are expected in the coming days, as the industry gears up for CES, the biggest consumer electronics show for the year. We’ll be there, so stay tuned.
