Nokia Lumia 920 to have 8-MP camera and wireless charging capabilities: Report

As we come close to the Nokia-Microsoft event scheduled for September 5, we are increasingly getting a clearer picture to what the announcement is going to feature. We have already seen leaked images of the supposed flagship Lumia 920 and today The Verge has confirmed that this very device is going to sport a 8-megapixel camera and wireless charging capabilities using the Qi wireless standard.

Apart from this the report states that the device will have 32GB of onboard storage and will have a 4.5-inch HD display alongside a 1.5GHz dual-core processor (Presumably a Snapdragon S4, which is equally as fast as an Quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 on the HTC One X), 1GB of RAM and a 1.3-megapixel front facing camera.
The interesting bit out here is the megapixel count of the Lumia 920 camera, as the report does state that Nokia intends to go forward with the PureView branding. Till date, Nokia only has one device with the PureView branding, the 808, but it has a massive 41-megapixel sensor. Nokia reportedly plans on focussing its marketing message on the advancements in image stabilization technologies used in the camera and the bundled software stack.
Image stabilization seems like a plausible marketing move as by the looks of it Nokia is already hinting towards something on the lines of image stabilization in its ‘Things are about to change’ teaser.
