Will Nokia finally jump on the 5-inch bandwagon?

We have a hunch that sooner or later, Nokia will eventually release a Lumia handset that has a 5-inch or bigger display to cope with the current market trend. However, based on the latest online gossips, such smartphone may come sooner than some of us may have expected.

Enter the Lumia 825, an alleged WP8 handset which, according to rumormongers, will pack a 5.2-inch 720p display and will run on a Snapdragon 400 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz.

I don’t know about you, but that’s a tall order considering that it may very well be the very first Lumia to break the 4-inch mold and the first handset from the Finnish firm to run on all fours. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a 1080p resolution that some of you may have been expecting, but given that this is just a mid-tier offering, Nokia may be reserving that feature for their next high-end model.
