Not long ago we were talking to you about N, a model that according to different sources was leaked that would use the Android operating system. Well, everything suggests that this model will never see the light of day and, therefore, if you were waiting for its arrival, you have no choice but to forget its possible purchase.
And this does not happen because the news that a device was being developed in Nokia laboratories was false. Quite the contrary, since it seems quite clear that different tests were actually being carried out, but only internally and not to be able to launch it on the market. Moreover, it is pointed out that Peter skillman, whoever was vice president of MeGoo, was in charge of the project.
Besides, it has also been known now that the specific device had a Snapdragon 400 processor and, in addition, a seven-inch tablet was also part of the game in relation to the use of Android (with a modified version of this operating system). But, we repeat, this was not because the possibility of launching both terminals on the market in the near future was explored, simply for testing purposes.
And what is the reason for saying this? Well, simply that there is a contract with Microsoft that prevents them from selling or distributing a mobile product with the Nokia brand in the next two years -2014 and 2015-. That is, neither the part of the company bought by those from Redmond, for obvious reasons, nor the part that remains in the hands of the Finns will put Android terminals on sale at this time (but tests could be done , Sure). Simple as this.
In short, everything remains as it was since the sale of Nokia's mobile business to Microsoft was known and, from this moment on, each of the companies will take their own course. The first is expected to focus on different accessories, such as flexible screens, and those from Redmond will be what mobile phones launch on the market, but always governed by Windows Phone. That is, the news was true, since the work existed, but it will remain simply as something nice and interesting, nothing more.
