New Delhi: If recent reports are to be believed, Nokia is working on an Android phone, which is expected to be released sometime in 2014. Codenamed Normandy, the handset is believed to be a low-cost phone. Speculations are rife that it will be a forked variant of Android. In other words, it will run a stripped-down version of Android OS - quite like Amazon's Kindle Fire - and will not align with Google's own version.
The picture here was posted by @evleaks back in November, and this leaked image is now being claimed by multiple sources as the upcoming Android phone from Nokia. It looks like a Lumia-style device and is said to be supporting applications like Skype. It is still not clear whether the phone will be released before the Microsoft deal is finalised, or whether Microsoft will take over the charge for the device.
Back in September, we reported that Nokia had been experimenting with Google's Android operating system on its Nokia phones - before even Microsoft reached out to Nokia with an offer to buy its devices business.
