Nokia 801 to run on Nokia Carla? [Rumor]
Symbian fans out there might be pleased by this piece of news, which is that of the Nokia 801 (pictured above). The rendering of the device has allegedly been leaked and sent to SmartPhoneGeeks courtesy of a tipster. We have seen this device before as it was leaked in the past, and it was also a phone that many suspected could be the successor to the Nokia N8.
Putting those rumors aside, this fresh set of rumors are now saying that the Nokia 801 will be running on an updated version of Symbian, which is apparently dubbed Carla and is the successor to the Belle update that recently rolled out not too long ago. The source is also saying that because the update is still in the works, the 801 will not be revealed just yet, but based on its specs, it is a device that Symbian fans could look forward to.
It will sport a 4” ClearBlack AMOLED display with a 1.4GHz processor with 512MB of RAM, a 12MP rear-facing camera capable of 1080p Full HD video recording, and for the most part will not feature buttons on the phone, much like the N9, Lumia 800 and Lumia 900 Windows Phones from Nokia. What do you guys think? Possible? We suggest taking this with a grain of salt for now, but we’ll be keeping an eye out for this one so check back with us in the future for updates.
Now here is an interesting leaked render of what is allegedly known as the Nokia C1, which is supposed to be the next smartphone which will feature the Nokia logo – never mind the fact that the Finnish company had already sold its smartphone business to Microsoft some time back. Well, the most interesting aspect about this leaked render would be the fact that it sports an Android operating system on the foreground, while another model hiding behind it looks as though it runs on Windows 10 Mobile.
Does this mean that we will have to face not one, but two variants of the same device? Only time will be able to tell, but for the moment, it will be an agonizing wait until 2016 as that is when the alleged Nokia C1 smartphone will launch then.
So, you happen to be rocking to one of the older Lumia handsets from Nokia, and would love to check out what all the hoo-haa is about concerning Windows 10 Mobile. If you happen to live in Poland, then here is a spot of good news for you to kick start your week – the Windows 10 Mobile update will be heading to the likes of the Lumia 630, 635, 640, 735, and 830 this coming December 14, whereas those who happen to be making use of the Lumia 520, 532, 625, 720, 820, 920, 925, 930, 1020, and 1320, will have to wait until February 1st next year.
Again, bear in mind that the Windows 10 Mobile update will only affect those smartphones which were purchased from Orange in Poland, so if you happen to own any of the above mentioned devices but from different people, then you would have to give the updates a miss.
A quick look at the calendar shows that we are still in March – early March, in fact, and April is still some ways of. Still, this has not stopped the fact that an alleged leak of a Nokia 1100 has been benchmarked, and in that particular benchmark, it revealed that the Nokia 1100 would sport Android 5.0 Lollipop as the mobile operating system version of choice – how cool would that be if it were to be true?
Other hardware specifications in the alleged leaked benchmark sheet point to a quad-core MT6582 processor which has been clocked at 1.3GHz, a 720p resolution display, and most probably 512MB RAM. We would take this bit of information with more than just a pinch of salt – perhaps and entire tablespoonful.
