The Finnish phone maker posted a cryptic message on its blog site Monday, hinting at the unveiling of its first phablet device.
Editor of Nokia Conversations Ian Delaney wrote: "We can't tell you what it is yet. But we can tell you when. Tune in tomorrow [Tuesday] at 9am UK time. See you then!"
Phablets, smartphone handsets with the enhanced screen size and systematic capabilities of tablet have become increasingly popular in recent years. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra handset features a whopping 6.4 inch screen, whilst Samsung's Galaxy Mega 5.8's display measures 5.8 inches.
Internet rumours surrounding the launch of the Nokia Lumia 625 suggests the announcement will concern a Windows 8 phablet rather than a tablet, which there has been little speculation about. Leaks suggest the 625 will feature a 4.7 inch display, 512MB of RAM and a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera.
Nokia's latest smartphone the Lumia 1020 was released two weeks ago to mixed reactions, spelling bad news for the already troubled company. Daniel Gleeson of IHS said the 1020 will act as a halo product to boost Nokia's appeal, but that alone is not enough to turn around Nokia's fortunes.
