Nokia is the leading manufacture for Windows Phone, and the Finnish giant has only been selling devices only since November of 2011, that's a full six months ago. The Lumia 800 was the first of many Windows Phone 7.5 devices. However, the company is not slowing down, and it now appears a Windows Phone 8-based Nokia is already in the works.
The device that is simply called the Nokia Phi according to WP Bench, a tool that allows users to benchmark their Windows Phone. The device showed up on the tool with Windows Phone 8 as the OS of choice, which leaves us wondering if we will see this device at Microsoft's Windows Phone Developer Summit next month. It would make sense for Microsoft to use a Nokia branded Windows Phone 8 handset as its test device at the summit since both companies are tied in bed together.
Then again, if the Nokia Phi is real, the company might want to wait until its own event dubbed as Nokia World, which is scheduled for September 5 this year. Having Windows Phone 8 on this device would be great, but you know what would make the experience even better? Nokia's PureView technology which first debuted on the Nokia PureView 808 Symbian Belle device. A Windows Phone with a massive 41 megapixel sensor would certainly make for a great Christmas 2012 present, don't you think?
That being said, WPBench data can easily be manipulated, which could mean this Nokia Phi thing might not be real. However, the developer of the application spoke about two additional Nokia device names that showed up. He classified them as spoofs and promised to remove them, but he didn't say the same thing about the Nokia Phi.
Microsoft's Windows Phone Developer Summit will be held on June 20-21 in San Francisco. We can bet Microsoft will showcase Windows Phone 8 along with a host of features that will get fans and non-fans of the platform interested.
