I might go as far as saying that this was Nokia’s worst kept classified project- Normandy, Nokia’s “secret” android phone project has just seen another leak of one of its images showing the completed design; with a peek at the user interface too.
New images leaked reveal a sleek and minimal true Nokia design with just a back key in the middle of the bottom of the screen. The interface also seems very similar to that of windows, as the tiles for Vine, Facebook etc are very visible. Some of the tiles are identical to the same color scheme and iconography used in the equivalent Nokia Windows Phone apps. There’s also what appears to be a notification / app center that displays missed calls, notifications, and recent apps / activity. A status bar indicates that the phone has dual-SIM capabilities. Although the phone is targeted at the low-end, the striking similarities with Windows Phone in hardware and software show that Nokia continues to blur the lines across its range of devices.
It is however, still not quite clear whether Nokia will actually release this device. Normandy is said to include a 4-inch display, Qualcomm S4 processor, 3-megapixel camera, 4GB of storage, and 512MB of RAM, report sources.
If and when Nokia decides to release Normandy, the images that have been leaked online seem imminent to be the design of the devices.
Nokia is currently in talks with Microsoft of acquisition. Until their deal is finalized, one does not know whether or not Normandy will see the light of day.
