Nokia was mum about the agenda for the event, but the Lumia 1520 is a logical candidate. Reports of the 6-inch handset have surfaced lately, with alleged photos revealing a peak at the big device.
A tweet from known leaker @evleaks said that Nokia would launch the 1520 at an event in New York on September 26. But sources told The Verge this week that the event had been pushed back, possibly because of Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia’s device and services division.
The venue is also expected to change from New York, at least according to the image in Nokia’s tweet. Unless there’s an unknown area of Manhattan covered by huge sand dunes, Nokia will likely hold the event somewhere more tropical, possibly Abu Dhabi, says @evleaks.
