Will drop alternative to S40 and Windows Phone at cheap models, claim sources.
Nokia’s global market share has been held up by affordable mobile phones to large markets in poor countries. These phones run Nokia’s old operating system S40, under the name Asha.
Now S40 replaced with a version of Android, according to several sources that the company is close. The code name of the phone is Normandy. It makes an operating system based on Android, but adapted by Nokia, similar to the Amazon does with its Kindle Fire products.
Can be stopped by Microsoft
plans have been developed by Nokia and it is unclear whether it will be implemented as planned, now that Microsoft buys Nokia. According to Nokia employees working with the phone is the planned launched in 2014 and, thus far, these plans are not modified.
If your phone does not stretch out on the market before the deal with Microsoft is implemented, it does not look so bright for Normandy. Microsoft has its own operating system, Windows Phone, and is unlikely to entirely positive to release a flavor of Android as a competitor in the market for cheap smart phones, writes The Guardian.
