Nokia C1; the Android Smartphone
Nokia is getting back into the smartphone game, and this might be the first real image of the device that reintroduces the brand to phone buyers. Earlier this summer, Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri said that the Finnish company will indeed look to make a return, by designing and licensing handsets, to the mobile market once its agreement with Microsoft to not use the Nokia name on smartphones had expired. Having been barred from branding any smartphones as Nokia’s until the end of 2015, the company is now working on its plans for 2016 and beyond, which it has said will not conflict with Microsoft’s mobile efforts: “Microsoft makes mobile phones. We would simply design them and then make the brand name available to license.”
LIKE THE N1 TABLET, THIS WOULD BE A NOKIA DESIGN LICENSED OUT
The purported Nokia C1 is said to run on Android Marshmallow, powered by an Intel Atom processor inside. Its alleged 5-inch size and 1080p resolution are both rather conventional, and it doesn’t seem to have any fancy extras like a fingerprint sensor or any sort of special camera system. That might suggest more of a budget device.
The Nokia N1 tablet, introduced earlier this year, sets the likely blueprint for what we can expect from the C1. It was manufactured and distributed by Foxconn, which licensed Nokia’s design and brand. There’s no guarantee that Foxconn will again be the partner for this new smartphone, though given the two companies’ established collaboration, it would seem to be a probable candidate. The C1 wouldn’t technically be Nokia’s first ever Android smartphone — that was the Nokia X — but it would be the first without Microsoft’s influence and control.
