Fan render of proposed Nokia ‘phablet’ makes us yearn for new hardware

Nokia will go into the tablet business concern. We're pretty certain of that as higher ups at Nokia have said every bit much in the past and even CEO Stephen Elop mentioned about the "opportunity" being in that location just a few weeks agone here in New York.

The simply questions that remain are when and what information technology volition wait like, to which we have no leads or even guesses.

That hasn't stopped the folks at ProductShowroom from taking a stab at the concept with their recent device render (translation: this is all completely 'made upwardly'). They've decided that Nokia should become the 'phablet' route, a new mixed term for really big phones that are basically mini-tablets due east.g. Samsung Galaxy Notation.

For the record, nosotros really detest saying 'phablet'.

The Nokia 1002 is a proposed 7.5" phablet with a quad-core ane.8Ghz CPU with an odd 1800x900 resolution and runs Windows eight Os, not Windows Telephone 8. For fun, they're too tossing in an 8MP photographic camera on the dorsum, 3.2MP photographic camera in the front, an 1800 mAh battery and a cool footling stylus that pops out of the body. Speaking of, it's conspicuously a polycarbonate design with an inward-curved screen presumably for easier typing.

What do we recall? Sure, why not. If we're playing fantasy why not go total blast with the specs and permit your imagination run wild—damn the reality!

Nokia 'phablet'?

Completely made upward even so nosotros still desire one

Unfortunately, we're non sure those specs are really achievable even with Nokia'southward R&D prowess, nor do we run across Microsoft allowing Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 to blur then early on in their life bike (that seems more of a Windows ix-in-2015 thing).

But getting to the basics, information technology does raise some interesting questions. We have seen a few x" slates coming this year from Asus, Samsung, Lenovo and fifty-fifty Microsoft—but what is the reply for that lucrative new 7" market? Will Nokia offering something in that range? Should it exist Windows 8 or Windows Phone eight?

Only fourth dimension will tell, Audio off in comments on your thoughts on what Microsoft, Nokia should practice.
