Nokia Goldfinger and Moneypenny outed

The first two Nokia phones to come with Windows Phone 8.1 have been outed as “Goldfinger” and “Moneypenny”.

Both of the 007-inspired phone names were published by serial leaker @evleaks. Evleak’s track record when it comes to leaked information is pretty spot on, so these names are as good as if they’d come from Nokia itself.

Little is known about the phones, but it is thought that the phone with the codename Goldfinger will be Nokia’s new Lumia flagship device when Windows Phone Blue is released next year.

Previous rumours have hinted that the phone will come with a new feature called 3D touch. The technology is said to allow users to make gestures around the phone instead of touching the screen.

How similar it will be to the air gestures seen on the Samsung Galaxy S4remains to be seen.

According to The Verge, the Goldfinger phone will allow users to interact with the phone through hand gestures above and to the side of the device.

It says that these gestures will include scrolling and flipping, letting Windows Phone 8.1 users to navigate their phone without needing to touch their screen.

Little is know about when the phone is likely to hit the shelves, but it is thought that Nokia might show the phone off at Mobile World Congress.

The event is when Microsoft is expected to show off Windows Phone 8.1. The update will bring a raft of new features, including an overhaul of notifications, improvements to multitasking and the introduction of a Siri-like Cortana voice assistant.
