What may very well be the last Lumia smartphone reportedly won’t see the light of day for another month. According to a report on Monday evening from Reuters, Nokia has delayed the unveiling and launch of its Lumia 1520 phablet until sometime in October. The news organization says it could not confirm the new date of Nokia’s planned announcement, but it has been pushed back by several weeks from the original date in late September. Earlier reports suggested that Nokia had planned to unveil the new phone at a press conference during the last week of September. According to previous rumors, the Lumia 1520 will feature a 6-inch full HD display, a quad-core processor, a 20-megapixel PureView camera and an updated version of the Windows Phone 8 operating system.
