14 DAY TRIAL // Last week, we caught a glimpse of the purported upcoming Nokia tablet that was said to be launched as soon as this month, nicknamed Sirius.
Now, the elusive Windows RT slate has apparently earned its Bluetooth certification under the model name RM-114.
The alleged Nokia tablet was also subjected to a GFX benchmark test, but was paradoxically listed as model RX-114. The same code name was found in the logs of the mobile ad network company AdDuplex.
A viable theory explaining this discrepancy would be that the RM-114 is a slightly modified variant of the RX-114.
Nevertheless, the GFX benchmark agrees with the rumor mill in one aspect – it lists the upcoming slate as “Jinish Sirius”.
The test shows the tablet will feature a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor CPU partnered with the Adreno 330 GPU.
Last week’s model featured a bright red look and several appealing specs. The Sirius is rumored to come sporting a 10.1-inch screen with a 1080 x 1920 display.
Memory wise, consumers will get 2GB of RAM plus 32GB storage off the bat, with the possibility of increase via the microSD slot.
The device is expected to have a decently long battery life, which could amount up to 10 hours.
The Sirius tablet has sparked the interest of many and with good reason, because Nokia has never really tried taking on the tablet market before.
Its only efforts in this direction were the “Internet Tablet” – a line of smaller tablets that didn't get much attention.
When Nokia plans to unveil the bright red tablet is still a mystery, but according to the latest information via WPCentral and the @evleaks Twitter, it might happen next month when the Finnish company will probably launch the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet.
