Nokia A110 smartphone running Android 4.4.1

If you've been following the news lately, then you might have come across the rumors about Nokia working on an Android phone of some sort. The Nokia Normandy, as it is being referred to, is believed to be a rather modest handset running a highly modified variant of Google's mobile OS. Also, it might have been already scrapped according to recent reports.

Yet not long ago, the reliable source known as @evleaks suggested thatthe Nokia Normandy project might actually be still alive and kicking. And he could be on the right track now that we seem to have benchmark data for Nokia's rumored Android device. 


A supposed Nokia phone running Android is benchmarked
The hardware data for a phone labeled as the Nokia A110 appeared on AnTuTu, indicating that the handset has a Snapdragon processor, a 5MP camera, and a screen with a resolution of 854 by 480 pixels. Furthermore, the tested device runs Android 4.4.1, according to the leak. That's all in terms of specs that the screenshots reveal.

Of course, having all this information does not guarantee that this alleged Android phone by Nokia will ever materialize. We could be looking at test data from a scrapped prototype device of some kind. But of course, today's leak also suggests that Nokia is not totally against launching an Android phone of its own. Guess we'll just have to wait and see what's in Nokia's plans, but if the Nokia Normandy is meant to see the light of day, than we might get to see it in the flesh next month at MWC

Nokia Lumia 1020 v/s Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5

The Nokia Lumia 1020 is not a ordinary smartphone, trough with its 41-megapixel sensor,optical image stabilisation, and a whole mess algorithms, the 1020's camera is more than just marketing (though there's some of that as well).
Going up against the1020 are 13-megapixel Samsung Galaxy S4 and 8 megapixel Apple iPhone 5.
Unfortunately, the weather in New Delhi City wasn't cooperating when I was testing, so I had done most of my shots indoors. I plan to head back out for a second round of tests, however (hopefully with an HTC One, too).
When looking over the shots below please keep in mind that each of these cameras shoots at different resolutions, and has different lenses and capabilities. This means that, while I did my best to be consistent with framing and conditions, they won't match up perfectly. Also, the cameras were all set to full auto to keep things simple, and because that's really all that's available on the iPhone 5 without resorting to third-party apps.
Lastly, each of the images can be clicked on for viewing all full size, or larger sizes in the case of the portrait and color examples. These are larger images, though, so you may want to right-click and either save or open in another tab/window. If you do click and open the image, head to the lower-right corner to close the image.
