The Nokia Phablet may have finally shown its face. The curious photo above was posted on the French website NokiaDay.com. At first glance it looks like just a normal photo of some current smartphones lounging around, but look closely and there are some peculiar things to note. Most notably is a very large Nokia phone.
With a quick glance the phone appears to be a cyan Lumia 920, but look closely. The Start screen clearly has an extra column of tiles. The phone also appears to be larger than the HTC One right next to it, which has a 4.7″ display. Comparing it to the HTC One again we can see that it’s a pretty thin phone. In the far left there appears to be another cyan Nokia phone, but this one is thicker and more reminiscent of the Lumia 920. The phone on the right is definitely something new.
The device is apparently called the Lumia 1030, and the extra column of icons is due to the 1080p display it comes with. Before we go any further remember that this is not definitive proof that Nokia is making a phablet. By our eyes it doesn’t appear to be fake, but crazier things have happened. For now we’ll call this “plausible.” What do you think?
Update: It’s fake.
