According to the leak, the phablet will have 2GB of RAM, a 6-inch 1080p display, 32GB of storage and a microSD card slot. All of this is said to be powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor from Qualcomm. Going by the pictures, the phablet will be running on an upcoming version of Windows Phone 8 that will allow the addition of an extra column of live tiles. The back side of the smartphone will have a bump, much like the one we saw on the Lumia 925.

So far, the smartphone has been referred to as its development name— Bandit. According to these pictures and earlier leaks, 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, 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.
