Renders of Microsoft and Nokia’s canceled tablet have been leaked

If you’re still drooling over the Surface Mini, which was probably Microsoft’s most exciting small tablet that never came to be, here’s something that could be at least as appealing. Microsoft and Nokia have reportedly worked together on another tablet that was known as Mercury, and according to famous leaker Evan Blass, it looked exactly like the one in the photo you see here. Basically, this project was a collaboration between Microsoft and Nokia, but as you can clearly see in the photo, it was Microsoft’s logo the one to be used on the device. Right now, there’s absolutely no information about the Microsoft Mercury tablet, so specs and technologies supposed to be used on the device are still an enigma at this point. And yet, it appears that Microsoft wanted to make the tablet look like a supersized version of its Lumia phones, most likely in an attempt to offer that one similar experience across all its devices. As you have probably heard already, with Windows 10 Microsoft’s trying to offer users the same experience no matter their device, this Mercury tablet with a Lumia-like design was probably an attempt to push this effort beyond the software world.
