Beyond Nokia X: company could have two additional Androids in the works

Man… we were this close to seeing Nokia wrap-up all the loose ends surrounding its embrace of Android, with the phone we expect to launch as the Nokia X. Come Monday, that handset should take its place on stage for the world to see, but a new rumor suggest that it could be just the tip of the iceberg, and Nokia may have a pair of additional Android-based smartphones still in development. What makes this rumor so juicy is that unlike the meager hardware expected to make up the Nokia ...

T-minus six days to go until Nokia’s Mobile World Congress event, kicking-off a day that’s going to be full of announcements. We’ve been anticipating a couple different devices from Nokia, but easily the most interesting (not to mention controversial) has been the Nokia X, the Android-based Asha successor that was developed as codename Normandy. Once the thing of crazy fever dreams, Nokia X has been looking all too real in recent weeks. When Nokia changed its color ...

Apparent Nokia X teaser leaks, heavy on the Android green

Last week, we saw Nokia make some changes to its online social presence, redecorating many of its pages in green.

As we settle in to the last week before Nokia’s MWC event, where we might hope to start getting answers, a new Nokia X ...

What’s Nokia up to with this new green makeover?

Just about an hour ago, Nokia changed its logo and the background on its Facebook page from the company’s iconic blue to a shade of green. Jumping over to Twitter, and even Google+, we see the same change taking place. What could be the meaning behind this move? If it was about some sort of general environmental consciousness, wouldn’t this be happening in April, closer to Earth Day? Instead, might it have something to do with the company’s MWC announcement, scheduled for Monday, February 24? A couple theories are being tossed around: one of the most obvious

Nokia X (Normandy) could end up being stupid cheap

What we’ve been able to put together so far about Nokia’s plans for the X/Normandy have painted the picture of a lower-end Android-based handset. The hardware’s presence in a number of regulatory databases for developing nations fit with that low-end assessment, and suggested that Normandy could be a vehicle to get Nokia phones into the hands of very budget-conscious shoppers. With models like last ...
