When Redmond-based Microsoft finalized
their purchase of Nokia's
mobile division, in April of this year, there was one question on
everyone's mind. Will Microsoft still manufacture the Nokia X android
smartphone? According to former Nokia CEO Stephen
Elop, now an executive with Microsoft, and two teasers on Nokia's
blog the answer would seem to be yes they will keep the X in
production.
If the Redmond-based giant truly is
coming out with a new version of the low-end smartphone it will be
the first time Microsoft will manufacture a mobile device that is not
based on a mobile version of their own Windows platform. That being
said though the Redmond-based giant has had a long history of signing
deals with manufacturers of android smartphones.
One thing that sets the Nokia X apart
from other android smartphones is the interface. The Nokia X will
have modified windows tile look to it. A possible why they would give
it such a differ look is that customer that buy the Nokia X could
transition over to a pure Windows phone Of course it could also be
just to make the smartphone stand out from the crowd or to let
customers know that 'hey, the smartphone may be android but we are
Microsoft'.
According to leaked documents
technology blog BGR(boy
genius report) The new Nokia X smartphone will likely come with a
4.3-inch display with 800x400 resolution, be powered by a 1.2GHz
dual-core snapdragon processor, have 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal
storage, a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and a VGA front-facing
camera for video chatting.
