Earlier today we heard that Microsoft and Nokia will be spending around $100 million on a marketing push for their new Nokia Lumia 900 or Nokia Ace smartphone, and now some more specifications on the device have been revealed.
We know that the Nokia Ace or Nokia Lumia 900 is headed to AT&T, but now it would appear that the device will also be available outside of the US and it will become Nokia’s flagship Windows Phone device.
According to Pocket Now, the Nokia Ace will feature a 4.3 inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 1.4GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and an 8 megapixel camera, which we presume will be capable of full HD video in 1080p.
Key Specifications and Features
The Nokia Ace, also known as the Lumia 900, is set to be a significant player in the smartphone market. The 4.3 inch WVGA touchscreen display is expected to offer vibrant colors and sharp images, making it ideal for multimedia consumption and gaming. The 1.4GHz processor, while not the most powerful on the market, should provide ample performance for everyday tasks and moderate multitasking. With 512MB of RAM, the device should handle most applications smoothly, although power users might find it somewhat limiting compared to devices with higher RAM capacities.
The 8 megapixel camera is another highlight, promising high-quality photos and videos. While many modern smartphones boast higher megapixel counts, the quality of the camera sensor and software optimization often play a more crucial role in the final image quality. The ability to record full HD video in 1080p is a significant advantage, allowing users to capture detailed and smooth videos.
Software and Ecosystem
It is reported to come with Windows Phone Mango, although we had previously heard that it may ship with Windows Phone Tango. Windows Phone Mango, also known as Windows Phone 7.5, brings a host of improvements and new features over its predecessors. These include multitasking capabilities, a revamped user interface, and enhanced integration with Microsoft services such as Office and Xbox Live. The inclusion of Mango should provide a smooth and intuitive user experience, with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.
The Nokia Ace is expected to be officially announced at CES 2012 next week. CES, or the Consumer Electronics Show, is one of the largest technology trade shows in the world, making it the perfect platform for Nokia to unveil its new flagship device. The announcement is highly anticipated, and it will be interesting to see how the Lumia 900 is received by both critics and consumers.

With its combination of solid hardware, a promising camera, and the latest version of Windows Phone, it has the potential to attract a wide range of users. The significant marketing push by Microsoft and Nokia underscores their commitment to making this device a success.
