Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia has been long rumored to plan on entering the tablet PC market with a Windows RT-based device, and some more info on what it could have to offer has emerged online.

Apparently, the company is determined on using the same industrial design that it packed its Lumia smartphones with for the upcoming slate, a recent article on The Verge notes. The device will also be colored in a manner similar to that of the company’s handsets, it seems.

Furthermore, the device is said to pack a full HD screen and a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor inside, which brings it pretty close to the rumored 6-inch Lumia smartphone spotted before under the codename of Bandit.

This also means that Nokia is finally ready to launch more powerful devices, after going only for dual-core CPUs in latest Lumia handsets out there (one of Windows Phone 8’s current shortcomings, it seems).
