Leaked image points at Nokia Lumia “phablet” in the works, Rumor may come true..

By Vijay @ 11:01pm

Nokia has been rumoured to be planning a Windows 8 tablet along with a “phablet” running Windows Phone. Both products have never seen the light of day, but we could well be getting closer to seeing a large Windows Phone from Nokia, if the above image published on Chinese website Weibo is anything to go by. We can  expect a phablet device like Samsung Galaxy Note.

It might not be that much of a long shot to see Nokia come to the table with a Windows Phone sporting a 5-inch or larger display, in fact we’ve heard that a tablet and phablet are in the works. We’ve just witnessed the manufacturer launch the Lumia 625, an affordable Windows Phone with a massive 4.7-inch display – the largest Nokia has produced yet.

The Sina Weibo user who published the photo claims the screen size is around 6-inches, which is evident by simply looking at it. The Windows logo and accompanying keys are present, as well as the Nokia logo and multiple component windows. That’s all we have for the time being, but it’s safe to assume we won’t see this device until the GDR3 Windows Phone update is available, introducing 1080p screen resolution support.

Nokia’s strategy we’re told is to have at least one high profile release every quarter, keeping the company is the press spotlight in a constant fashion. That means may be a tablet next quarter, phablet afterwards (think GDR3/Blue devices).

Remember to take this rumour with a pinch of salt, but we can see Nokia working on something. What would you make of a 1080p, 6-inch Windows Phone from Nokia?
