Leaks
suggest that Nokia will get back into the game and will announced an Android
based smartphone following the footsteps of the recently announced N1 tablet.
The
world has been craving a high end Nokia device running on Android and
while that has been a far-fetched dream so far, it seems that it may just
come true. After the Microsoft acquisition, Nokia is not allowed to make its
own smartphone until 2016, but there are no restrictions on using the
branding on any other kind of mobile device.
This
was evident when Nokia shocked everyone by announcing the Android 5.0 based
Nokia N1 tablet which has the company's branding but is manufactured
by Foxconn. This launch also proved that Nokia has plans for its future
and is not going to go down without a fight.
A
recent leak points out that Nokia might also launch a full fledged Android
smartphone which will have a similar design and build as the N1 tablet. The
first attempt at making an Android based smartphone was a disappointment as the
Nokia X and X2 smartphones failed to impress consumers. The new leaked
smartphone called C1, however could prove to be much better as rumours claim
that it will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop with Nokia Z Launcher on top, a 5-inch
display, an Intel chipset, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, an 8MP rear camera and
5MP front camera.
Just like the N1, Nokia could be
venturing out to OEMs to manufacture the device and then brand them as Nokia
devices. Not a bad plan, eh?
