Posted by If you have been excited about Nokia’s announced return to the smartphone market and about the brand’s upcoming Android smartphones, you may need to take a chill pill for a while. Those Nokia Android phones will not be available till January 2017 at the earliest.
Official Statement on Nokia Android phones
President of the joint management team at Nokia China, Mike Wang, has said that 3 or 4 Nokia devices will be announced in the fourth quarter of 2016. Those devices will not likely hit the market till 2017.
We have seen renders of rumoured upcoming Nokia smartphones HERE and HERE.
The Long Wait
Five months wait in the world of mobile is a long one. We can only hope that this long wait is due to initial take-off challenges and that the new Nokia Mobile business won’t be foot-dragging product releases.
Founder of MobilityArena. Yomi’s journey in mobile started in 2001. Besides obsessing over mobile phones, he also started creating WAP sites (early mobile-friendly websites created with WML). He began writing about phones in 2004 and has been at it since then. He has owned over 200 devices, from Symbian, Palm, PocketPC/Windows Mobile, BlackBerry/BB10, webOS, Windows Phone, Firefox, Ubuntu Touch, to Android, iOS, and KaiOS operating systems.
