Nokia Lumia 730 Release Date: 'Superman' Specs To Unveil On Thursday's IFA 2014 Event? Microsoft Teases Super-Selfie Phone, 'Are You Ready For More?'

It wouldn't be a surprise if the Nokia Lumia 730 release date coincides with the September 4, 2014 IFA event.

The Nokia Lumia 730 release date is anticipated not because of its top-of-the-line specs (in comparison to the September9 iPhone event, at least). The new Windows phone is mid-range but offers a few novel features to keep the Nokia ship afloat.

The Nokia brand took a hit in recent years, with the emergence of countless smartphones on the market. It's fortunate that Microsoft took special interest in the company, then developed overhauled devices for the casual user.

The Nokia "Superman" specs, as the device is tagged, will reportedly offer enhanced front and rear cameras, the latter optimized for great selfie pictures. While the rumors on camera specs don't compare to the best smartphones out on the market, an 8 megapixel count is decent enough if the device compensates with an affordable price.

The phone is tagged as a "big-selfie cam," and with the rumored megapixel count, could hint that it'll have a wide-angle lens to boot. The Nokia Lumia 730 release date could wait until Thursday's unveil.

Microsoft teases the devices days before the September 4 launch, with very few hints to offer. The catch phrase for the invite says "Are you ready for more?" with the O in "more" replaced by the Nokia Lumia 730's lens.

The "Superman" alias may not stick if Nokia's labeling tradition holds, and the Lumia 730 will be used after the release date. A leaked picture allegedly showcases the phone's design, though unconfirmed by the company.

It appears Microsoft didn't change the design, a polycarbonate build with the camera lens and LED flash installed on the rear panel. Lumia Debian Red software is indicated on the leaked device, which could also be the Lumia Cyan.

The latest Windows Phone 8.1 software is expected to be installed on the Nokia Lumia 730 release date (source: digitaltrends.com).
