Nokia tablet to have two batteries, Report


Recently, rumours about a Nokia tablet made quite a buzz, but details have been scarce. Now, sources close to the Finnish manufacturer have started dishing out leaks and one says Nokia's upcoming tablet will be powered by two batteries - one standard and the other in the keyboard cover. 

According to a report in technology news website The Verge, the keyboard cover that will come with the device will have a battery and work as a kickstand, much like the one in Microsoft Surface. Users will be able to switch the keyboard-based battery in when the tablet's battery runs low. 
The report cites sources as saying that the battery in the keyboard cover will work when the tablet's battery runs low. 

The Verge also says that the primary battery of the tablet "will have a 10-hour capacity with fast charging that boosts the battery capacity to 50 percent in a short period of time." The tablet and the cover can be folded like a book, and the latter will also feature two built-in ports for connectivity. 

Coming to the tablet itself, the upcoming Nokia device will have HDMI as well as USB ports and a 10.1-inch touchscreen. It will support cellular data connectivity and AT&T will be the first operator to have it on its shelves, as per the report. Nokia's tablet will be built on an ARM processor and run on Windows RT operating system. The Finnish manufacturer is likely to showcase the new product at Mobile World Congress in February.
