As it’s usually the case with such things I’ll first advice you to take the following info with a pinch of salt and remain cautious. According to two supposedly leaked Nokia internal slides what you see here is the upcoming flagship Nokia Windows Phone 8 handset which will unsurprisingly sport the 41Mpx camera sensor introduced by the Nokia 808 alongside a Xenon flash, a 4.3″ curved HD Display (no AMOLED?), a dual-Core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro which includes the Adreno 320 GPU (surprising..was expecting it to be for tablets only at first…). The phone also has an enigmatic “Rich Recording” video recording technology. I personally wouldn’t be surprised if the device’s name was Nokia Lumia PureView


As you can see the handset has an unusual design which seems to favor one handed ergonomics (in line with what Nokia’s design chief has been preaching) but also a big bulge on the back to house the gigantic camera sensor and optics. Once again, don’t get too excited yet as this may be nothing more than a fake even though it looks fairly legitimate: notice the start button which has the new Windows 8 design instead of the older “Flag” :
