Yesterday we reported about Nokia’s Normandy, a low end Android Smartphone from the Company. Today rumors surface about the same suggesting that it will get an early 2014 release. It is a very odd decision from Nokia as the company’s smartphone business will be fully taken over by Microsoft which makes it highly possible that Microsoft will kill this project soon after Nokia acquisition.
Nokia Normandy is making big headlines over the internet for being the only Nokia Android device, this certainly is going to make Nokia fans very happy. But the happiness won’t last long if the project is really killed by Microsoft. Nokia lovers have long been waiting for the company to come up with their flagship Android phone, with Normandy the company is trying to fulfill the fans’ wish for a Nokia Android device, may be as a Good Bye sign to the smartphone business.
This image is only for representational purpose: it is not the final version from Nokia
The Nokia Normandy looks very similar to Lumia series of phones and does not feature the capacitive buttons at the bottom. It will come with the same polycarbonate unibody found on the Lumia phones while running unknown version of the Android Operating System.
Nokia’s already has some popular and successful device like the Lumia 520- which accounts for 25% of all the windows phones, Lumia 1020- with 41MP camera sensor and other devices in the Lumia family. The company has grown remarkably with Lumia and Asha series of phones but with Normandy the company does not look for growth instead it’s a GOOD BYE signal to the smartphone business.
