We all have been hearing rumours about Nokia switching its operating system from Symbian to Android, for quite some time now – finally a glimpse of ‘’Normandy’’ might calm your nerves.
The images of the upcoming low-end Android handset from Nokia were leaked on Twitter by @evleaks – a phone-news leaker.
The phone looks a lot like its predecessor ‘’Lumia’’. Nokia, however, has stated that the smartphone would be something beyond what appears in the leaked photos.
Nokia is planning to replace the low-end Android phones with the Asha line, which would be compatible with its functionality, and would consist of a broad spectrum app library developed as well as distributed by Nokia.
Asha line is highly popular in the developing markets, although there are concerns regarding the switch-over to Android.
Windows Phone has apparently been successful in a few international markets, particularly in Latin America, but it has been facing difficulties with developer support, similar to Asha.
There is a strong possibility that Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia could interfere with the program, but a few sources from The Verge have confirmed that the development would continue. More than changing the name from ‘’Normandy’’ to something else, is, of course selling the phone as a product of Nokia, instead of Microsoft.
