10-inch Nokia Sirius Windows RT tablet dazzles in red

After Google and Apple, Nokia is likely to make its big announcement on September 26. The company is expected to unveil its first phablet, the Lumia 1520 (better known as Bandit), and first Windows RT tablet called Sirius. These devices having been hitting headlines for the past one month in the form of leaks and rumours, and here’s adding some more fuel to it. A new image allegedly of the Windows RT-based Nokia Sirius has been shared by WinSuperSite. Interestingly, it looks like a press image.

The image shows a large red slab with a camera on the back panel and some buttons on the edge. Though the image doesn’t show the Nokia logo anywhere, it is almost similar to one of the previously leaked image of the 10-inch Sirius tablet. Reportedly, the tablet could feature a 6.7MP rear camera and an multi-function cover with keyboard and additional battery life.
