Nokia Mystic Smartphone Leaked

Tweet

Most industry leaks we see in the tech industry are usually poorly scanned documents or hastily taken pictures from a camera phone. Vietnamese site iTech.vm got a great scoop as they offered actually high-quality pictures of a purported new Nokia smartphone, the alleged Nokia Mystic.

As you can see, the phone doesn’t look that bad. It’s running Symbian S60 5th edition and features a full physical QWERTY. Nokia sells more cell phones than anybody in the world but their marketshare is consistently shrinking – and they’ve lost the mindshare of the tech community who has adapted to iPhones and Android phones.

Last year at their big Capital Markets Day press event, Nokia told the press that they would cut their smartphone offers in half in order to focus on quality, not quantity. This sharp looking smartphone, probably is apart of that plans, pending of course, if its real.

As blog SlashGear points out, we have seen a few Chinese cloned phones that are “NokLas” (as opposed to the “BiackBerry” a friend of mine bought). It’s possible that this phone is a Chinese rip-off.

As far as specs, we don’t know much other than the 5-megapixel camera (thanks to the big “5 MEGAPIXEL” that’s printed below the lens) and that it is show running Symbian S60.

It’s lack of a touchscreen and inclusion of a physical keyboard will likely peg it in Nokia’s E-series of smartphones, which are usually priced mid-range and aimed for hardcore texters and e-mail users. No word on it’s real name, pricing, or anything else.
