Nokia’s long-rumoured Android phone — reportedly code named ‘Normandy’ — will be called the Nokia X, according to a tipster.
The often-correct @evleaks took to Twitter to write “Nokia Normandy = Nokia X”.
The notorious tipster has previously published leaked photos purportedly showing Nokia’s Normandy Android phone, while other slightly-blurry snaps have given us even more of a look at the rumoured device.
The information so far suggests that the so-called ‘Nokia X’ will strongly resemble the company’s chunky, colourful Lumia mobiles, but instead of Windows Phone be powered by a version of Google’s Android operating system.
Leaked photos suggest the phone could have one touch-sensitive button beneath its screen — a left-facing arrow that looks to serve as a ‘back’ button.
Leaked photos of Nokia’s Android interface, again courtesy of @evleaks, suggest that Nokia has constructed a heavily-modified version of Android for its own mobile.
Nokia’s mobile phone business is in the midst of being snapped up by Microsoft, for a cool £4.6bn.

Access to the vast library of Android apps available on the Google Play store could prove a tempting prospect for many tech fans.
