Following several rumours that the release of Nokia's alleged Lumia 1520 has been delayed, we have the first indication of the possible launch of the device.

Pocket-Lint has reported that the Finnish handset maker may launch the rumoured 6-inch phablet at the end of October and the device can be expected to hit stores in November. The website cites a source and claims that the Nokia will be confirming details about the event soon, and the rumoured phablet will be released in the last week of October, the week starting October 21.

The site also notes that Nokia may not hold the launch even of the Lumia 1520 in the US, as the company launched its current flagship, the Nokia Lumia 1020 in New York back in July, and will probably prefer a different city this time.

Earlier on Monday, it was reported that Nokia had delayed the launch of its large-screen phablet, originally planned for late September, following the deal to sell its handset business and license patents to Microsoft.

Prior to this, we had been hearing that the alleged Lumia 1520 was slated for release on September 26, but a rumour claimed that the release date was rescheduled to October.

The Nokia Lumia 1520 has been rumoured to come with a 6-inch full-HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of built-in storage, a nano-SIM and a microSD card slot.

The press renders of the Nokia Lumia 1520 had already been leaked, revealing the homescreen featuring Live Tiles and the design largely resembled other phones in the Lumia family.

Previously, the rumoured Nokia Lumia 1520 was leaked in high quality images and was compared with a Sony Xperia smartphone.
