The Lumia 1020 which is AKA as the Nokia EOS is the expected  smartphone with a 41 Megapixel senor that's being launched next week in New York City.  While earlier press invitations and blog posts from Nokia have alluded to a revolutionary smartphone camera an actual image from Twitter's favourite smartphone tipster @Evleaks shows what seems to be the AT&T version of the Nokia EOS complete with a new Nokia Pro Cam Live Tile.

Will this be the ultimate smartphone camera? Can this possibly disrupt both smartphones as well as digital cameras in general? All will be revelaed on July 11th!
