Nokia teams have well considered at one time to release a phone with the Android operating system. A legitimate step for a company, which plans to multiple areas of development. Although a priori, the research has not really resulted because Windows Phone has finally become special, a product would be born of this long process of reflection and research.
A device by the name of Normandy was unveiled by the famous @evLeaks specialising in leaking picture of products before they are marketed. We discover a phone whose design bears signs of both current ranges Lumia and Asha, in color and form. Note the lack of tactile buttons below the screen, zone occupied by the Windows logo in Lumia.
Normandy would not be totally abandoned so far, it's a real surprise considering the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft. However, it would not be a "vulgar" Android phone. In the style of Kindle, Nokia work on a home adaptation, more closed than the original system, a way to better control the environment and user experience. However, some popular applications such as Skype are compatible.
Nokia employees have reported that the device would be released in 2014 and the whole team is working hard. Sources confirm that it's similar to Asha Smartphone as the picture above, so, a cheap smartphone that will support many applications and services. Presumably, this Smartphone will target emerging markets.
