Nokia Tablet Powered By Snapdragon 800 Chip Makes an Appearance

Nokia perhaps is among the last of the well-known brands to not have ventured into the tablet space though behind the scene rumblings of the same continues unabated. The latest to have stoked the Nokia tablet fire once more is the unexpected appearance of the same in a GFXBench website. However, before anyone gets too excited about the prospects of a tablet appearing from the Nokia camp, let's not forget the test results can be tampered with by just about anyone. Anyway, what the test results have thrown up is a device codenamed RX-114 that is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 chip coupled to an Adreno 330 graphics processor, a combination that no doubt will make for a superior performance credential. However, it is the number of pixels mentioned, 1371 x 771 that has led to some confusion. This since the above number of pixels along the longitude and latitude of the device points to something that is a lot similar to the Surface tablet that sports a pixel count of 1366 x 768. Also, with that many pixels spread across a 10.6 inch display of the Surface, what seems likely is that the Nokia tablet too sports a 10 inch display. Or maybe Nokia has just been working on a bigger smartphone or a 7 inch tablet with a longish profile packing in a higher number of pixels to make for a scintillating display. Of course all of the above are mere speculation at the moment and it's not known for sure if the tablet exists in real at all or it has just been a prototype device that Nokia had developed for testing purposes. Any which way it is, a tablet from the Finnish company has been long due. Let's hope we get to hear something concrete on this anytime soon which will be a nice break from the series of rumors we have been treated with so far. Meanwhile, in what can be considered an interesting coincidence, the Snapdragon 800 chip found mention for another high profile tablet, the new Amazon Kindle Fire range today.
