First photo of the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet revealed, dwarfs the Lumia 1020

At the end of September, Nokia is reportedly going to reveal at least ii new devices here in New York: their Windows 8 RT tablet, codenamed Sirius and the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet.

The Lumia 1520 will feature a huge six-inch 1080P display, a polycarbonate body (not metallic) with a twenty MP PureView camera akin to the Lumia 925'south pattern, specifications that we revealed last week from our verified sources. The device will besides feature a quad-cadre Snapdragon CPU and Windows Phone 8 GDR3 for the new 1080P back up.

The image above was leaked to us and while we cannot confirm it, we have a suspicion that is authentic. For one, it comes with what looks like an optional back instance with a front end cover to protect the brandish. We also wouldn't be surprised if information technology adds Qi wireless charging capability as well. It's placed adjacent to what appears to be a Lumia 1020 for size comparing.

The other fleck of show is that the display and bezel announced to closely match that of a leaked bezel from back in Jan, back when Nokia's intention of making a phablet device were becoming clear. Everything from the Nokia label to the sensor locations to the thin bezel at the lesser announced to correspond. While not a slam dunk conclusion that at least favors a positive interpretation of the leaked photograph.

Nosotros'll also note the standard proto.nokia.com etching at the bottom, as establish on all Nokia tester phones.

Finally, with the display turned on nosotros can see that as nosotros would look, at that place are three columns of Alive Tiles now, including the ability to fit i double wide side by side to a medium sized tile. That feature would be needed due to the increased 1080P support found in GDR3.

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is expected to land on AT&T under the codename 'Bandit' and other carriers past November.

Windows Phone Primal has non vetted the source of the prototype, so we cannot verify at this fourth dimension. We will try to dig deeper and meet what we tin can find.
