Will Nokia’s handset business go out with a whimper or a bang? According to several earlier rumors, we’ll find out later this month when Nokia unveils what may be its last ever smartphone. It’s also somewhat poetic that Nokia’s potential last smartphone, the Lumia 1520, is also its first phablet — being slow to react to industry trends is what got Nokia in this mess to begin with. But Nokia’s loss may be Microsoft’s gain, and we’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, we have seen leaked photos of the Lumia 1520 before but this time around we can clearly see Verizon branding on the device as well as a 20-megapixel PureView camera with Carl Zeiss optics in the new picture posted to Sina Weibo recently. Other rumored specs include a 6-inch full HD display and a quad-core processor. Nokia is expected to unveil the Lumia 1520 during a press conference next week. The leaked photo follows below.
