Whether or not you balked when you saw the suspected specs for the Android-powered Nokia X, many within the smartphone community have been seeing the Nokia X, AKA the Nokia Normandy, as Nokia‘s last hurrah before becoming one with Microsoft. Not so, says one report, which not only says that the Nokia X won’t be the last Android Nokia Phone, but that Nokia is going to be exclusively in charge of the Asha line with lower and higher spec models due in May or June of this year.
Of course, we’ve all heard that the Nokia X likely won’t have any core Google apps like the Google Play Store, which puts it at a significant disadvantage, within the Android arena at least, compared to Android behemoths like Samsung and LG. That said, the other forked Android OS, Kindle OS, had done quite well for itself (with significant support from Amazon, of course), so it will be interesting to see how Nokia’s effort does when it makes its expected debut at MWC 2014 in just a few weeks’ time.
What do you think about this news: would you want to see a higher spec Nokia X-like device in a few months time? Let us know what you think in the comments.
