Nokia's first Android phone, rumoured to be dubbed Normandy, might still be alive and could see light of the day soon, if @evleaks is to be believed.
The popular phone tipster in a bid to put an end to further speculation about Nokia's upcoming Android phone, said that reports saying the Nokia Normandy will not see the light of day are incorrrect. The tweet by @evleaks reads, "The reports of Normandy's death have been greatly exaggerated."
Unfortunately, the
tweet by the tipster does not shed much light on the development of the Nokia Normandy phone. It is noteworthy that in the past, @evleaks has come out with fairly accurate information regarding yet-to-be-announced devices and we will not be surprised if he manages to hit the bull's eye even with this leak.
Earlier reports had suggested that the Nokia Normandy phone was the Finnish giant's first device based on Google's Android OS, and the
Nokia Normandy efforts had been described as 'full steam ahead'. However, there has been no clarity as of now whether the alleged Nokia Normandy Android phone is true or just a rumour.
The leaked render showed the yet-to-announced device sporting a similar design to the Asha touch range of phones with a physical back button on the front panel. An earlier report had claimed that the
Finnish handset maker might launch the Normandy in 2014. The report also revealed that Nokia, following the lead of Amazon, has been working on a fully-tailored or forked version of Android, like the software on the online retail giant's Kindle Fire tablet range.
