This is good news for people expecting and asking why Nokia is not using Android OS or when will Nokia start making Android mobile phones.
Relations between Nokia and Microsoft are not as cordial as they were before.
While Nokia is concentrating on Windows OS for smartphones at present, it has hinted considering using alternatives like Android OS in future.
Today devices using android OS are selling like hot cakes and this is what gave Samsung a major boost in sales making it the No.1 mobile handset manufacturer. Even lesser known companies like Alcatel, Spice, Lemon, Karbonn, Micromax, etc have got a major boost in sales just because of using Android.
The finnish company and Microsoft had tied up in the year 2011. Nokia had expected users to gave a thumbs up to devices with Windows OS. It had rejected android on the basis that using Android will not be a unique strategy. It paid a hefty price for depending heavily on Microsoft Windows. It was Samsung that gained from Nokia’s fall. It has incurred considerable losses due to downfall in sales. Nokia had held the 1st position in term of handset sales for many years.
Nokia CEO Stephen Elop was asked whether the company has entirely ruled out launching an Android smartphone in 2013. He gave an answer that was yesterday widely reported to indicate Nokia was considering a move to Android.
He had said, “In the present war of ecosystems, struggle with Windows Phone. But always think what next, what role does HTML 5, Android … HTML 5 could make the platform is Android, Windows Phone or other, less important in the future, but it is too early.Today we are engaged and satisfied with Microsoft, but any rotation is possible.”
Lets wait and watch what is destined for the future!
