According to a tweet sent out by prolific tipster   evleaks , Nokia is working on its second Windows RT-based tablet codenamed Illusionist (Who comes up with these names). However, this time around it will feature an 8-inch display.

Sources close to Nokia have further confirmed the 8-inch Illusionist to TheVerge . The site reports that the upcoming Nokia tablet will run Windows RT 8.1 and come powered by a Qualcomm processor. The Illusionist is likely to be released early next year and could be shown off at CES in January.
