The Nokia Normandy has been listed on a huge Vietnamese retail site, without the hot tipped Nokia X name.

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop followed up the launch of the 41-megapixel Nokia Lumia 1020 handset by promising another big release before the year is out.


The under-fire bossman said the next "major launch" is coming "later this year" during a Q&A session at the New York event on Thursday afternoon.

Elops comments are sure to spark more speculation that the oft-anticipated Nokia Lumia tablet running Windows 8 or Windows RT might be on the way before we draw a line under 2013.

Earlier this year, Nokia was granted a patent with the US Patent & Trademark Office for a tablet device that looked very similar to the Microsoft surface.

The proposed device had a keyboard cover, just like the Surface devices, that could be used as a kickstand. However the patent was filed back in October 2011, so plans may have moved on since then.

Back in February, we got a brief glimpse of what looked like a Nokia Lumia tablet when it appeared on a screen at a Lumia 620 launch event in Pakistan, of all places.

If Elop wasnt referring to a tablet, its difficult to know what Nokia could have on the agenda.

The company has launched three flagship handsets in very quick succession with the Lumia 925, Lumia 928 and todays Lumia 1020 setting Nokia up very well for the year.

Well keep our nose to the ground for more leaks. If the recent past is anything to go by, whatever Nokia has up its sleeve shouldnt be too elusive.

The Nokia X Android phone looks all but certain to make an appearance at MWC 2014 next month, and now the handset has been caught on camera once again, this time with a vibrant orange body.

Claimed Nokia Lumia 1520 press images have leaked ahead of the oversized phone’s expected arrival later this year.


The latest in a recent flurry of premature outings for the phablet sized Nokia handset, the newly emerged Lumia 1520 press images claim to show the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 3 rival in all of its professionally shot glory.

Hitting the web courtesy of the Twitter based repeated tech tipster @evleaks, the new Nokia Lumia 1520 picture has landed alongside the simple teaser: “Nokia Lumia 1520, 2013.”

Showing a familiar site, the Nokia Lumia 1520 pictures point to the handset being an upscaled remake of many of the existing Lumia handsets, taking design hints from the likes of the Nokia Lumia 920 in sporting a vibrantly hued yellow polycarbonate body.

Although concrete Nokia Lumia 1520 specs have yet to emerge, it is widely believed that the phone will run a 6-inch 1080p Full HD. This added on screen real estate will let future Lumia 1520 owners to fill the device’s homescreen with a bevy of app shortcuts and live tiles.

With the leaked Nokia Lumia 1520 images showing that the handset will not sport the same impressive PureView snapper as the Nokia Lumia 1020, it is expected that the device will instead share camera optics with the metal clad Nokia Lumia 925.

Although yet to be confirmed, it is believed that the Nokia Lumia 1520 will be officially unveiled alongside the repeatedly leaked Nokia Lumia tablet at a dedicated New York based launch event to be held in either late September or early October.

Earlier this week it was announced that the mobile arm of Nokia has been sold to Microsoft, with the £4.6 billion deal to be completed in early 2014.

Its a bold step into the future - a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies,” Steve Ballmer, Microsoft’s outgoing CEO stated in an announcement confirming the buyout. He added: “Bringing these great teams together will accelerate Microsofts share and profits in phones, and strengthen the overall opportunities for both Microsoft and our partners across our entire family of devices and services."

Following the recent Nokia Lumia 2520 release, the Finnish phone manufacturer is rumoured to be working on a second tablet offering, as the 8.3-inch Nokia Lumia 2020 is teased.

New information has emerged surrounding Nokia’s heavily rumoured Android smartphone, suggesting production is steaming ahead.

Images of the purported Nokia Lumia 1520V mini have appeared online with a suggested April release date.

Claimed Nokia Lumia 1020 pictures have hit the web, with the reported press shots of the upcoming 41-megapixel camera phone leaking via Twitter.


Widely expected to be announced during Nokia’s New York based launch event next week, the Nokia Lumia 1020, a handset which has also done the rounds with EOS branding, is set to be the first phone to bring the Finnish manufacturer’s 41-Megapixel PureView snapper to its flagship Windows Phone line.

Making a premature appearance courtesy of repeated tech tipster @evleaks, the latest Nokia Lumia 1020 images have emerged exactly one week before the manufacturer’s July 11 unveiling.

Following on from the recently launched Nokia Lumia 925, latest Nokia Lumia 1020 rumours have suggested that the Windows Phone 8 powered handset will land as a challenger to the recently announced Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, a 16-megapixel camera hosting spinoff to the Samsung Galaxy S4 with a 10x optical zoom.

While the newly leaked Nokia Lumia 1020 pictures show a handset remarkably similar to Nokia’s past Lumia offerings, the images have failed to offer a glimpse at the phone’s rear. Past leaked images have pointed to the device sporting a bulbous rear to support the low-light specialist camera.

Offering little details on the phone, the Twitter based leak came with the simple message: “Nokia Lumia 1020 for AT&T, 2013.”

Last month the @evleaks was the first to point to the upcoming Nokia handset becoming the company’s first phone to break through the three digit naming convention. A Tweet from the serial tipster stated: “EOS = Lumia 1020.”

Although Nokia has yet to formally confirm the Nokia Lumia 1020 release, the manufacturer has repeatedly teased the device, recent stating there are “41 million reasons” to tune into next week’s unveiling, a tip that all but confirms the phone’s PureView camera inclusion.
