Nokia has
been alleged to be designing a Windows Phone-powered phablet for
several months, to enlarge the upper echelons of its Smartphone portfolio
and fight Samsung’s Galaxy Note line (the newest of which, the Note 3, was
revealed only this week). Images asserting to portray a palm-stretching
phone carrying Nokia’s branding have also reduced online before now but today
prolific leaker @evleaks has revealed a press image in typical style
of Nokia.The image depicts what’s evidently a bigger than usual Windows Phone,
with sufficient screen real estate to display 11 x 6 rows of icons. The other
prominent feature is the gently projected rear camera which appears to be the
same as the PureView-branded 8.7MP lens of 925.
Nokia has not
officially proved its phablet launch plans but the pattern of a rising flow of
leaks is constant with other leaky Lumia release trajectories (like
the Lumia 1020). It’s surely no secret that Nokia has been considering
getting into phablet space on Windows Phone and doing so for an extended
time. Back in February 2012 the corporation told TechCrunch
that it was considering closely at the mid-size tablet market and also
considering seeing whether it will catch on.
In the occasion,
Samsung has sustained building drive in the category while Smartphone
screens usually have exaggerated in size to try to compete with the trend for
larger phones. In the meantime Nokia has faced a rising battle trying to
sell its smart phones in a market conquered by Android and iOS. Certainly it’s
been such an effort for the company that, at the beginning of this week, it
affirmed that it would be throwing in the towel by means of selling its Devices
& Services unit to Microsoft for $7.2 billion and registering its
brand name for adoption by Redmond on mobiles and smart phones.
