Mystery Nokia phone shows up in Russian presentation but it's not a phablet

Oh how we hate Mondays (insert Garfield cartoon here). Looks like we may be spending more fourth dimension than we want debunking rumors rather than posting confirmed news, but the internet is aflutter these days with numerous new Nokia speculation. Because an entering 41MP Windows Telephone just isn't enough…

The latest rumor that just won't get abroad use one of the almost detested words nosotros can think of: phablet. Typing it but makes usa recoil for some unknown linguistic reason. Phablets are that new category of device that is combination of 'telephone' and 'tablet', pregnant devices with a 5" screen or bigger—requite or take. It'due south exemplified by popular devices like the Samsung Galaxy Annotation I and II, which ironically take beaten about analysts expectations by actually resonating very well with the public.

Nokia has been rumored to be working on such a phone for erstwhile at present, fifty-fifty though our source says "nay" on that matter. Of form, we could be incorrect or rather, our source could be—afterward all, it'south not a crazy idea that Nokia may want to jump into that "range" of phones for their Lumia line up, correct? Problem is, we're simply not hearing (or seeing) anything conclusive to convince united states on this affair.

The latest "proof" comes via WP7Forum.ru, one of our favorite Russian Windows Phone sites, during an Nokia presentation for the Lumia 925, which is officially launching at that place today. In a single image, we see a lineup of Nokia Lumia Windows Phones, including the Lumia 925 which is front and center. The question is, what is the device to its correct (our left)?

WP7Forum.ru thinks it's a leaked commencement-look at a Nokia "phablet" Lumia. While we can't readily ID that phone—it could be whatsoever Lumia as they oftentimes do share a lot of similarities—we're skeptical that Nokia would slip upwards and let a new device merely slide into their official presentation—sorry folks, merely these companies are tad more savvy than that. Especially since if such a phone exists, it's non expected for a few months, at to the lowest degree (we're talking Q3, or more likely, Q4).

Even more and so, if that was a "phablet" it's not really that much bigger than the current 925—non enough to be a 5+" device and warrant that title of that category, in our opinion. [Indeed equally pointed out in comments, there's a Verizon Tile on that device, suggesting that this is really the Lumia 928 or at the most, a generic "Lumia"].

And then for now, we're not convinced neither of this photo nor of the general rumor of an entering phablet device from Nokia. We'll be the starting time to tell you otherwise if we start hearing actual conclusive info about such a phone or if more proof is revealed, merely so far, at that place'south just non much to hang our lid on except for your typical net theorize i.due east. unverified sources.
