Do you remember the leaked images of a Nokia smartwatch that surfaced back in October? Little was revealed but they appeared to show a casing made of the same polycarbonate as Nokia’s Lumia smartphones. But they were enough for Jonas Daehnert, perhaps better known as Phone Designer, to come up with concept images of what it could look like. This […]

PSA: Nokia Lumia Black App Folder feature requires separate app
Among the new features Nokia announced as part of its Lumia Black update is the App Folder which lets you group apps into a single folder, a tile, on your Start screen. With the update already hitting Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925 devices across the world, many are now reporting that they cannot find the feature after updating their devices. […]
More images of Nokia Normandy’s Android interface surface
More images surfaced today of the Nokia Normandy’s user interface. The three images, courtesy of @evleaks, show what appears to be a lockcreen as well as the phone and Skype apps. The lockscreen shows notifications such as upcoming appointments and messages. Much as a previous image already did, the new images show that at least one Nokia Normandy variant will […]
Another image of the Nokia Normandy surfaces
Following a rumour that the Android-powered Nokia Normandy was alive and well, a new image of the smartphone has surfaced on China’s social network Weibo. It is quite similar to earlier images, including the single capacitive button, with two key differences: There is no Nokia branding on this latest image and it gives us our first hints at the user […]
Android-powered Nokia Normandy not as dead as initially believed?
Let’s leave 2013 with one more interesting rumour. Past rumours revealed that Nokia was working on a low-cost Android smartphone codenamed Nokia Normandy.

Is this the Android-powered Nokia Normandy?
With Microsoft set to acquire Nokia’s Device business in 2014 for a cool US$7.2 billion, an Android-powered Nokia device is unlikely to ever hit the street. But rumours have suggested that Nokia was working and may even still be working on such a device. Codenamed the Nokia Normandy, we now have another picture of this device, once again courtesy of […]
Video: Nokia pushing for return of mullets in Lumia 2520 ad
There are different takes when it comes to holiday ads. We’ve seen Samsung use Santa Claus to show off the Galaxy Gear to his elves (who are, needless to say, left agog) and how a misunderstood teenager uses his iPhone 5S to show his family that he does get Christmas. But I don’t think any will top the Nokia Lumia […]
Nokia cancels 8-inch Windows RT Nokia Illusionist tablet?
Rumours in November suggested that Nokia would follow up its 10-inch Nokia Lumia 2520 Windows RT 8.1 tablet with a smaller model in 2014. Codenamed the Nokia Illusionist, it reportedly came with a display in the 8-inch range and ran Windows RT. It now appears that Nokia has had a change of mind and that company executives have cancelled it. […]
