New leak shows Nokia's 6-inch phablet Bandit aka Lumia 1520

The Nokia Bandit leaks just keep on coming. Yet another new image has now leaked that shows what is allegedly the upcoming phablet. An earlier leak had hinted at the Finnish company reportedly testing its phablet. And the company is not limiting itself to just one device, with reports suggesting that the company was looking at atleast seven new devices for the market. 

Out of the list, the company is reportedly set to reveal at least two of those soon, the first being the Windows 8 RT tablet, which bears the codename Sirius, as well as the Nokia Bandit phablet, which may come under the name Lumia 1520, according to noted serial leaker EvLeaks. It should be noted that there’s no confirmation that the device in the pictures is indeed the Lumia 1520. Have a look:

The leaked image shows the phone fixed on a flip cover. It has been placed next to a Lumia 1020, to show off the difference in size. Another thing that lends more credibility to the image is the standard proto.nokia.com line at the bottom of the phone, something that’s found on all Nokia tester phones. The image also shows three columns of Live Tiles.

From what is known so far, it seems like the Lumia 1520 will come with a massive 6-inch 1080p display as well as a polycarbonate body. Going by this, it is possible that the Nokia Bandit will be the first Windows Phone to come with a full HD display. Also thrown in is a 20-megapixel PureView camera, which is reportedly similar to the one used in the Lumia 925, according to Windows Phone Central. Other features also expected are a quad-core Snapdragon SoC as well as Windows Phone 8 GDR3 for the new 1080p support.
