New York: As Samsung gearing up to launch its flagship device Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Window Phone giant Nokia plans to release Nokia Lumia 1080p pheblet in September.
Samsung is the leading smartphone company in and carrying on at a good pace with its flagship device Samsung Galaxy S4.
Nokia recently released its couple of devices including its flagship device Lumi 1020 and now coming up with Nokia Lumi 1080p pheblet to go against Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
The latest news is courtesy of MyNokiaBlog’s source (believed to be an ex-employee who is not with Nokia anymore). The site reveals that the Nokia Lumia phablet will have a 1080p display and pack in a quad-core processor. It will also pack in WP8 GDR3 and will likely have a 5-inch plus screen size.
In July this year, a photo of the alleged Nokia phablet popped up online. We also reported recently that according to Chinese site WPDang’s sources, Nokia had a 6-inch phablet (dubbed “Bendit”) in the works, which would likely launch after the Lumia 1020.
What’s more, the Nokia Bendit phablet’s existence was reaffirmed by a leakster on Twitter. Additionally, in April this year, reputed publication Financial Times disclosed that Nokia was working on it’s first-ever “Galaxy Note-like” phablet.
“Those with knowledge of the company’s plans said that the most innovative will be a device that can work as a phone and a tablet – known as a ‘phablet’ – similar in size but with more advanced specifications to Samsung’s popular Galaxy Note. This will be the Finnish group’s first move with Lumia into the larger screened mobile smart devices market, where rivals such as Apple and Samsung have already established a dominant position,” claimed the aforementioned Financial Times report.
The site mentions that new Windows 8.1 hardware is expected to go on sale sometime in September, since the new OS is being released to manufacturers in August. This would certainly help Nokia’s first Windows 8 tablet get some great publicity as it coincides with Microsoft’s next version of Windows 8. The tablets are expected to look similar to its Lumia smartphones, complete with bright colors and rounded polycarbonate body.
Nokia is widely tipped to release the 1080p phablet in September this year. The Finnish company has reportedly scheduled a press event in New York City for Sept. 26 -27, where it is expected to take the wraps off its first-ever Windows 8 tablet and Lumia phablet.
According to MyNokiaBlog, the phablet will launch at “the Nokia event this September, alongside a couple of other devices.” We will have to wait and see if the much-awaited phablet makes its appearance as speculated in September and if it can throw the gauntlet to the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
