The Nokia Windows RT tablet will have a 10.1-inch screen and would be the Finnish company's first venture into the tablet market.
The tablet allegedly has styling akin to the Nokia Lumia smartphones with vibrant colors.
"QWERTY keyboard entry may take a different approach than Surface covers in the form of a keyboard dock with integral battery for longer life between charges," noted Orr. "4G LTE support is expected with mock-ups including Verizon's logo already showing up in the wild. Currently, Microsoft's Surface tablets are only available with Wi-Fi connectivity and lack mobile broadband capability."
An image of the rumored tablet surfaced as well as further specifications.
According to The Verge, the "Sirius" might have a 6-megapixel rear-facing camera with a 2-megapixel variant on the front. In regards to the display, the 10.1-inch screen will have 1,920x1,080 resolution. The tablet could also come with 2GB of RAM.
"We understand Nokia is aiming for 10 hours of solid battery life with LTE connectivity. Other features include a microSD port to extend the 32GB of storage, a Micro HDMI connector, and a Micro USB port," added The Verge's Tom Warren.
As for a potential release date, Sept. 26 has been rumored for the New York-based debut event.
