Is This the First Look at Nokia's Android Phone UI? (Update: It Runs Kit Kat)


Industry leaker-extraordinaire, @evleaks, posted the picture above this morning with the comment 'Android on Nokia.' In the past, he has also Tweeted pictures of a similar device said to be running Android that is known only by its codename of 'Normandy.' Even though Microsoft has gobbled up Nokia's mobile business, some believe there is still a chance that we will see Nokia release a device running our favorite mobile OS.


So, what are we seeing here?


Well, we can see a back button, lock screen, dialer, and screen with Skype running. It does look a little Windows Phone-ish, up near the notification bar, plus it appears to support dual-SIMs, leading us to believe this is an international phone. The UI is semi-card-like; definitely not reminiscent of anything currently on Android.


If anything, I think it's safe to assume that this is a mid or low-end phone aimed at international markets. This isn't a flagship Nokia device running Android.
