Nokia leaks Lumia 1520 on Chinese e-store; will have 20MP camera and Snapdragon 800

In the past couple of months, the Lumia 1520 has made its presence felt frequently via leaks and rumours. Spotted by Engadget, this first ever phablet from Nokia, once again, makes its appearance on a Chinese online store called Tmall. This leak comes just a day before its official launch at the Nokia world event in Abu Dhabi.

The listing doesn’t show any image of the phablet but some specs are almost similar to what we’d expect from the Lumia 1520. It includes specs such as a 6-inch 1080p display and a gigantic 20 megapixel camera, likely to be the next version of the PureView camera. It also shows the Snapdragon 800 CPU that is rumoured to power the Lumia 1520. Tmall has priced the Lumia 1520 at 4,999 Yuan which is approximately Rs 50,000.
