Nokia Android phone

Nokia is a legendary name in mobile, but as the word ‘legendary’ would suggest, its great days are very firmly in the past. Nonetheless, the Nokia Sndroid phone will attempt to resurrect the fortunes of this once significant corporation. It is believed that this device has already been spotted in benchmarking, so the leaked specs of a 1.4GHz Snapdragon 430 processor, Adreno 505 graphics, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and cameras rated at 13MP and 8MP can be considered pretty decent. An interesting bargain basement competitor worth looking out for.
