The upcoming Android phone that Nokia is developing is reportedly priced at $110.
The price information was revealed by Techcrum.vn on its website at a price of 2.2 mill to 2.5 mill VND (approximately $110). The information was two weeks earlier than the actual debut of the device which will be held at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain.
In December, Nokia was reportedly working on an Android smartphone dubbed as "Normandy." Reports say that the upcoming device is said to utilize a "forked" variant of Android that is distinct from the usual operating system. Rumor about the Nokia Android device became even hotter after @evleaks posted its image in Twitter. The first phone on the picture shows a red smartphone with a touch screen, the second phone shows the back panel of the smartphone. However, specifications and other description of the said smartphone were not given away in the leaked photo.
Nokia has signed a deal with Microsoft in 2011 to use the Windows Phone operating system on its mobile phones but was given an option to go out of the deal at the end of 2014. This is during the time when the company was still considering on switching to Android.
BGR reported Thursday said that the Normandy smartphone, also known as Nokia X, will have a 4-inch screen display, a dual-core Snapdragon processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, 5MP camera and a 1500 mAh battery. It will also be dual-SIM capable and will come in six colors.
However, it is still unclear if Normandy will remain as an Android or will be transformed to Windows Phone since the company is transitioning under Microsoft's umbrella. The Normandy news has been out even before Microsoft offered to buy Nokia's mobile business for €5.4 billion ($7.4 billion). The deal between the two companies is expected to be finalized within the first quarter of 2014.
