With the belief that Microsoft's purchase of Nokia's Devices and Services division led to the scrapping of the Android powered Nokia Normandy, another render of the device was tweeted on Monday by evleaks. Unlike previous leaks of the Normandy, this one shows the device in various colors including white, yellow, red, lime green, blue and black. Some other leaks have displayed the handset wearing red or a light blue color.
While there might have been a time and place for an Android powered Nokia smartphone, now is not the time with Microsoft eventually closing on its purchase of Nokia's Devices and Services division. A published report out of China says that the team that was working on the Normandy project is now working on wireless charging.
This tweet from evleaks might be the last time that we see the Nokia Normandy, unless Microsoft changes its mind. That is something that we can't see happening despite the huge amount of money that Microsoft makes on each Android phone sold.
