Nokia has unveiled its new flagship Windows Phone 7.5 smartphone, Lumia 900, at the Mobile World Congress 2012 in Barcelona, Spain. The new Nokia Lumia 900 is an improvement over the existing Lumia 800 in several areas.

Lumia 900 is the first LTE network supporting Windows Phone device from Nokia and will be available exclusively through AT&T. Lumia 900 comes in cyan, white and black colours. The smartphone sports a 4.3 inch ClearBlack Amoled display with WVGA 800 x 480 pixel resolution. Under the hood, it houses a single core 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8055+MDM9200 mobile chipset coupled with 512 MB RAM and 16 GB on-board storage. At the rear lies an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and f/2.2 aperture. This camera can easily record 720p HD video at 30 frames per second. There's also a secondary camera in the front for video chat.

Lumia 900 comes with the same polycarbonate unibody chassis with non-removable battery. Thankfully, the company has packed an 1830 mAh battery, which will hopefully make the phone last longer. Nokia has added a bunch of applications developed in-house such as Nokia Maps and the new Nokia Reading application that offers support for reading ebooks. Nokia Lumia 900 is expected to be made available worldwide in the second quarter of this year for 480 Euros (Rs 31, 675 approximately).
