Official Render of Lumia 550 Shows No Front Facing Flash; InfraRed Enabled Camera Expected

When I first heard about Front Facing Flash, the first question in my mind was “Ain’t it going to be little harsh for eyes?”. Looks like the un-annaounced Lumia 550 doesn’t have a flash, which adds up the strong possibility of it holding an IR scanner instead which in layman term mean Camera with InfraRed capability. Also you should know that InfraRed enabled cameras are known to deliver vibrant color images during the day, and high resolution b/w images during night.

The idea comes from the new render of the handset that was posted on the  Russian site OneTile.ru. You can see there is a front facing camera on top left, while the rest seems to be blank.

Folks over WMPU has confirmed that this render is actually of the Lumia 550.
