The battery pack for the Nokia Lumia 1020 (codenamed EOS) has leaked again, this time with more photos that offer a much better look at the accessory. By the looks of it, the battery pack won’t add a lot of thickness – the 1,020mAh battery seems to be contained in the grip.

The grip has a nice rubbery-looking strip that should give you a rock solid hold on the Lumia 1020. Read more »
