New Nokia phone “to launch this year”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Nokia was one of the biggest names in mobile phones, but Apple and Google caught it sleeping.

The Finnish firm eventually sold its phone-making arm to Microsoft in 2013, on the condition that it wouldn't make any new handsets until 2016.

Now, a new model has leaked - though sadly, it looks modern rather than a throwback to Nokia's early noughties heyday, Digital Spy said.

According to a source speaking to Android Authority, the Nokia A1 could launch as soon as the middle of this year.

It's said to run Android 6.0 Marshmallow, with the Nokia Z Launcher on top ­- this is a user interface that adapts to how you use your phone, and promotes your most-used apps so they're easier to access.
