For those of us who thought that since Microsoft has acquired the mobile division of Nokia, the brand has ceased to exist, we could not be any more wrong. The Finnish handset maker launched its first ever Nokia branded Android tablet called Nokia N1 in November 2014. Now the speculations are riff that Nokia is working on an Android smartphone as well and recently few leaked images surfaced on the World Wide Web, which confirmed the speculations. The device is being called Nokia C1 and here is a brief overview of the handset.

Design

One of the strong points of Nokia handsets was that they were so sturdily built that it is nearly impossible to destroy them. It is expected that the new Android device from the brand will come with the same build quality but more in line with Lumia handsets. It is also expected that the handset would come with a metal unibody chassis, ruling out the possibility of removable battery.

Display

It is being speculated that Nokia will endow the upcoming C1 smartphone with a decent sized 5 inch display. The display of the handset is expected to come with a HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, which together with the size of the display make for a stunning viewing experience.

Performance and Battery Life

There is no word as to which processor will feature in the Nokia Android C1, however, it is a given that it will be an Intel chipset. In all likelihood, the processor would be a Quad-core unit with a clock speed in the range of 1.5-1.8 GHz. Moreover, it is expected that it will feature 1 GB of RAM for a consistency in performance.

Camera Technology

In all likelihood, the device will come with an 8 Megapixels snapper accompanied by an LED flash and autofocus. Whereas, on the front we expect it to flaunt a 5 Megapixels selfie camera.

Connectivity

On the connectivity front, we expect the upcoming handset to feature support for 3G and 2G for fast Internet browsing. Other features that are expected to come with the device include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB Type-C and GPS.

Verdict

The details about the handset are yet to be confirmed by the brand, however, considering that it is a Nokia product it should be a good device. Even after taking all these rumours with a pinch of salt, we can suggest the handset to anyone who is looking for a sturdy handset with decent performance.
