Nokia fans were surprised and felt glad to finally have the first phablet for their brand. Phone Arena points that it has a big 6-inch display with an amazing resolution of 1080x1920 pixels. Aside from its Sensitive Touch technology, it also has the Snapdragon 800 chip that makes it as good as the other phablets already out there in the market like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
