A possible Nokia phablet has been rumoured for quite some time now. Courtesy of PhoneArena, we now have a picture to go along with those rumours. Chinese company ICTech has posted a photo of the front panel of the6-inch Nokia Lumia handset. Notable inthe leaked picture is an incredibly thin bezel. This is one of the thinnest bezels that we have seen in a phablet. There also appears to be a tiny hole where we expect a front-facing camera will fit in.
The Lumia phablet is slated to be a direct competitor to Samsung's Galaxy Mega series and Sony's Xperia Z Ultra. The phablet is set to run on thelatest (at the time) version of Windows Phone 8. According to ICTech, Nokia has already kicked off mass productionof the phablet. It is only a matter of time beforeNokia makes an official announcement that acknowledges theexistence of the Lumia phablet.
Back inJune, we saw reportsstating that Nokia has been working on two phablets. The report states that one of the phablets, which is expected to be launched between September and October this year, will come with a camera similar to that of Lumia 925 and will carry a 5.5-inch or 6-inch display. We’re assumingthat theleaked picture shows this phablet.
The second smartphone,which will be launched by February 2014, is expected to feature a bettercamera thanthe first phablet, with a higher megapixelcount (presumably thesame camera featured on the Lumia 1020); it could also have a Lytro-style camera, which lets you adjust focus after shootingan image. Nokia has been rumoured to be using Pelican Imaging's 16-lens array to improve thephotography experience on smartphones.
