Nokia is getting ready to launch two new devices next month: the Lumia 1520 phablet and its first Windows RT tablet, which will be officially named the Lumia 2520.
The company has been releasing new Lumia Windows Phone smartphones at a steady rate and shows no signs of slowing down. In fact, Nokia will be holding a press event in October where it is expected to launch two highly anticipated devices. We've reported on numerous leaks of Nokia's first phablet, the 6-inch Lumia 1520. It will be the first Windows Phone handset to sport a large full HD display and a powerful quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The phablet is expected to make its way to both Verizon and AT&T just in time for the holidays.
Nokia will also announce its first Windows RT tablet at the same event in October. The device has been going by the codename "Sirius", but now its official name has been leaked by the always-reliable @evleaks. The tipster claims that Nokia's Windows RT tablet will officially be called the Lumia 2520.
The Nokia Lumia 2520 is expected to feature a 10.1-inch in plane switching (IPS) HD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920. The tablet will run the upcoming Windows RT 8.1 OS and will be powered by a 2.15GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. It will reportedly include 32GB of internal storage, a microSD expansion slot that will support up to 64GB microSD cards, and 2GB of RAM.
Just like the latest Lumia smartphones, the Lumia 2520 will pack in a high-end 6.7-megapixel rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics. The tablet is rumored to be offered in both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + LTE models. It is expected to have a large battery that will provide around 10 hours of battery life and will be ultra slim and light, coming in at 0.35-inches thick and weighing 1.3 pounds.
We'll have to file this in the rumor category for now, but the source of the leak is very credible and has an excellent track record. We'll be sure to keep you updated as soon as new details emerge regarding the Nokia Lumia 2520.
