Photos of a new Windows Phone, dubbed the LG Miracle, have leaked online ahead of an expected unveiling at Mobile World Congress later this month.
Pocketnow has published a series of images of the mid-range smartphone, which reportedly features a four-inch WVGA display, claimed to be one of the "brightest" on a Windows Phones to date, and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
Powered by Microsoft's latest Windows Phone 'Mango' 7.5 operating system, the Miracle has 8GB of internal storage and comes with a five-megapixel camera on the rear and a front-facing VGA camera.
It is thought that the phone will have an NFC chip, allowing users to wirelessly transfer data between the handset and other NFC-enabled devices. This is often used for 'wallet' applications, involving wireless payments for goods.
The inclusion of an NFC chip would be surprising as it was expected that NFC would not launch in Windows Phones until after the arrival of the 'Apollo' update later in the year.
LG officials have not yet responded to the leak, which came earlier this week. But Pocketnow claims that the LG Miracle will be released sometime this spring, following its announcement at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
