Photos show Nokia’s canceled Windows 8 tablet

Photos have surfaced online of a small Windows tablet from Nokia, which the company planned to launch in 2014. It is a tablet that runs on Windows 8 and is equipped with an Atom soc. The tablet was scrapped by Microsoft after it took over Nokia’s smartphone division.

It is the first time that the tablet can be seen in photos. Earlier, a render had already appeared online. WindowsBlogItalia has put the pictures online, including an image of CPU-Z, which indicates that the tablet had an Atom Z3795 quad-core. There are also cameras on the front and back. Presumably there was also room for a SIM card.

The tablet, which likely had a 7″ screen, was codenamed Nokia Mercury. It was one of the devices Nokia planned before the company was acquired by Microsoft. After the acquisition, the release of the Windows tablet deleted.

Last week, photos of Microsoft’s own Surface Mini also appeared online. That was also a Windows tablet that should have been released in 2014, but was scrapped just before the release. Unlike Nokia’s tablet, the small Surface did not run on the full Windows version, but on Windows RT. In addition, the Surface tablet had much thicker screen bezels than Nokia’s model.
