In the past few weeks, Nokia expert and tipster, Dimitros Vlachos had provided some inside details of a few Nokia phones that did not scale the hurdle of production. This week, Vlachos has added the Nokia Senna to this list, providing some details about the device which was canceled possibly after its development in 2011. Nokia had planned to replace its Symbian OS architecture with the MeeGo OS, and the Nokia Senna was also in development at the time.
The Senna was designed as a compact tablet based on the Nokia N9 design. However, the MeeGo ecosystem was abruptly discontinued as it was lacking in design and functionality behind the Android OS. A similar scenario led to the cancellation of the Senna production. The design concept of Senna was later to be deployed to the design of the WP8 tablet, although the Nokia 2520 that was released was also a great device.
Dimitros Vlachos has now provided some stunning live feeds of the canceled Senna tablet. Earlier in 2013, some images of the Senna surfaced online. Dimitros says the device was based on Sony-Ericsson’s Nova Thor chipset and it runs on vanilla MeetGo. As seen in the details provided by Dimitous, the Nokia Senna has similar UI and apps as found in the N9. The camera of the Nokia Senna is capable of recording 1080p videos, which is a great feat at the time of its development.
We could expect that Dimitros Vlachos may still have a few more unreleased/canceled Nokia models from the last decade. This is however not unconnected with the dynamics of the company at the time and its subsequent acquisition by Microsoft.
