Nokia teases 'Something Big'

Nokia has already had a busier Summer than usual, with the Lumia 925 already available in most markets and the Lumia 1020 just a few days away from launching in the United States. That said, there's always room for more phones, which leads us to the peculiar teaser Nokia published this morning. On its social media channels and on their Conversations blog, Nokia looks to be teasing a new product announcement for tomorrow. The tantalizing headline reads: "Something BIG landing here tomorrow". Looking at the post itself, the company promises that all will be revealed tomorrow at 9:00 AM (UK time). Oh, and there's a teaser photo of the Nokia logo on a red background, which we've shared with you above. Nokia has a big, BIG announcement for tomorrow and is giving us pretty short notice. Whatever it is, it will be unveiled tomorrow morning in London (9am UK time, 8am UTC). There's still plenty of time to guess, except all we have to go on is an orange ("sunset orange", according to an online color chart) back with the Nokia logo engraved. Nokia can be pretty sneaky with these things, like the solid yellow background with black oval that turned out to be the loudspeaker of the Asha 501. So, is this an Asha? Maybe, but not if "big" refers to physical size – Asha phones are generally small. Stephen Elop, Nokia CEO, did talk about phablets in early May, and the defining characteristic of phablets is "big". This would, however, require the device to run the elusive GDR3 update, which will finally enable 1080p resolution as WXGA (1280 x 768) can only be stretched so far. The update will also add quad-core support and other features, except the latest info is that it's slated for next year. Then again, the Nokia Lumia 625 is pretty big - 4.7" screen - with only WVGA resolution. Join us tomorrow and find out what this BIG thing really is. While we're thinking the Lumia 625 is a strong possibility, could it really be announced tomorrow? Lot of posts online claim that it is a Nokia tablet others say its a phablet and some say its a Nokia accessory. What do you think ? We will find out tomorrow , be connected to us !
