Nokia Lumia 1525: Disregard Leaked Release Date, Specs, Other Details, Says Leaker
Everything that's been written about a supposed upcoming "Nokia Lumia 1525" - from its release date, to the phone specs, and to the US mobile operators which will carry it - all originated from Evan Blass, better known as the notorious but usually reliable tech tipster "evleaks."
For one, the PC Advisor says, "Although no official release date has been announced, evleaks expects the Lumia 1525 to appear soon. It has already confirmed that in the US it will be available through all major operators - namely, T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon..." Then, Tech Times writes: "The Lumia 1525 from Nokia by Microsoft is a Windows Phone 8.1-powered 1520 with the SoC upgraded to a Snapdragon 801. Besides T-Mobile, it's also going to AT&T and Verizon." Also, Phone Arena notes: "Lumia 1525 seems to be an upgrade to Nokia's first phablet, the Lumia 1520. It will feature the same hardware specs and 2K screen resolution, as the Lumia 1820, but come with a 6" panel and 25 or 30 MP camera on the back, offering some sort of solar charging display panel, too." And, the Daily Tech says the upgrade "will feature the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip (either 2.36 GHz or 2.45 GHz), according to top Android leaker @evleaks. It's unclear if other upgrades will also be onboard."
Now, evleaks, who retired August 3, resurfaced Tuesday of last week via Twitter just to ask that everything he revealed about the supposed "Nokia Lumia 1525" be set aside and ignored. The tweet reads: "Many of my MSFT [Microsoft Corporation] leaks - 1525, Nokia by MSFT, Surface mini summer - came courtesy of TK's wife, posing as an exec. Disregard them all."
