More rumors about Nokia at MWC: there will be no tablet

With so much rumor accumulating during the last weeks, it's better to start doing some cleaning. Starting with Nokia and its participation in the next Mobile World Congress that will be held in a matter of days, between February 25 and 28, in Barcelona. The expectation around what the Finnish firm could bring to the fair has been growing for a few months, with constant rumors about a possible tablet and new Lumia devices. Well, maybe we should discard some of this information and add new ones that have just appeared.

The last thing we know about a possible Nokia tablet are the words of its CEO, Stephen Elop, in which he stated that the company was still studying the market. Shortly after, a render of a tablet appeared in a presentation by his delegation in Pakistan, in which some wanted to see the future device, something that Nokia was quick to deny. Now, the most recent reports from some analysts collected by the North American media increasingly recede the possibility of seeing a Nokia tablet with Windows 8 in the coming days. And I won't be the one to act surprised.

Apparently Nokia will come to Barcelona to focus on its family of Lumia smartphones In this case, the chances of seeing new devices are increasingly ever stronger. From those Lumia 520 and 720 of which some have already dared to give specifications, to the long-awaited member of the family with a 41-megapixel camera and Pureview technology.To these must be added a new rumor that points to Nokia's intention to provide solar charging to its new mobiles.

About this latest news, we know that the Finns had already been testing the solar charging technology incorporated into the mobile phones themselves. Without going any further, a little over a year ago they published a study in which they ruled out its use as it was still an immature technology. Now new information suggests that Nokia could have resumed the project and is working with the company SunPartner Group to incorporate its Wysips technology into the next smartphones that it intends to put on sale by the end of the year.

The technology, to be demonstrated during MWC, works by adding a solar charging surface to smartphone screens The company The developer has been working on its inclusion in mobile phones without hindering vision, achieving satisfactory results.According to rumors, it would have already reached an agreement with a manufacturer whose name is still confidential but which some already identify as Nokia. If those of Espoo have already introduced themselves to wireless charging with their latest Lumia, this could be the next step. We will know in a few days.
