Nokia looks like it wants to cash in on the launch of the powerful Lumia 1520, with a mystery device codenamed RM-964 being spotted on an site monitoring Indian imports.
Nokia Power User spotted the device on Zauba, noting a device with a 5.2-inch screen and a price tag of 34,524 Rupees (around £340/$560/AU$617).
This puts it in line with rumours of a compact Lumia 1520; a quad-core Snapdragon 800 CPU, 20MP camera and Full HD screen akin to the upcoming US-only Lumia 929.
Is Nokia the friend that's never on time?
The Nokia Lumia 1520 was the first Windows Phone 8 handset launched with a quad-core processor and full HD display, putting it right against the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in terms of size and power.
A smaller-screened quad-core brother would give Lumias something big to shout about, by setting it apart from the dual-core Windows Phone 8 devices that currently occupy the market and pushing it into HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4 and LG G2 territory.
As the RM-964 is still very much a rumoured device, we're unlikely to see it this year. Launches of the HTC One Two and the 64-bit Samsung Galaxy S5 will give the Nokia a real push. Is Nokia too late to the party?
It'll be interesting to see what happens, but more importantly, what would it be called?
