If you were to ask us, HarmonyOS looks like a compelling tertiary option behind Apple's iOS and Google's Android. Huawei is pushing the bounds of what it can do with this fork of Android, attempting to implement one of the most cohesive networks for your Huawei devices that we've ever seen. However, if Huawei really wants HarmonyOS to take off and become a real competitor in the global market, then it needs to enlist the help of other phone manufacturers. HarmonyOS jumps ahead of Android with innovating 'Su
HMD Global's chief product officer is teasing the Android Oreo update for the Nokia 8 on Twitter, saying it'll be released when it's perfect. Nokia devices are getting updated very quickly these days.
Responding to a tweet asking about US availability of the Nokia 8, Nokia reiterated that the phone will roll out "globally" this month and will be on sale within the next 2 weeks.
We're still wondering what, exactly, to expect from Nokia's first proper flagship. We may have gotten a taste of how it'll shake out design wise, though, thanks to a new leak.
Several years ago, Nokia likened using Android to peeing your points. Today, Nokia finally peed in their pants by announcing the Nokia X, Nokia X+, and Nokia XL.
Another week, another Nokia Normandy rumor. Well, Nokia X rumor, because that's what folks are starting to call this mystery Android phone that Nokia has apparently been working on for quite some time. Twitter account @evleaks had that much to share, but was also keen on letting us know what would be the silicon behind the scenes. We'd already heard the device was being built to be budget friendly, but this list of specs (if true) would pretty much confirm that: "2 x" 1GHz Snapdragon processor (dual core?)
Nokia's Android phone -- codenamed the Nokia Normandy -- gets more real each and every time we hear about it. While we haven't seen much outside of leaked renders up to this point, it looks like we may have gotten our first real look at this thing in the flesh.
When we first heard of the Nokia Normandy, a low-cost Android phone by a company who swore never to make an Android phone., we thought it was dead on arrival. Why, you ask? Because it ran Android. And because Nokia is now owned by Microsoft. We imagined it'd be a cold day in hell before we ever saw Nokia use Android for one of their handsets again, which had everyone writing the Normandy off as a dead skeleton in a pretty cold closet. But @evleaks is giving folks reason to believe that the device shouldn't
And there you have it, folks -- any sliver of hope that Nokia would ever make a phone that runs Android have been shut down, as Microsoft has officially bought the company (particularly the wireless products and services business).
