Back in November, the trusted and notorious @evleaks had posted a Nokia device codenamed "Normandy" and none of the tech pundits were able to figure out about the device. The only options one would be inclined to prefer were Lumia and Asha. However, not the reports from The Verge says that the device is none of the two but a low-end Android device.

Now the question is that will Microsoft allow Nokia to come up with this so called 'Normandy' handset. However, since the Nokia acquisition is yet not a done deal, Nokia might have a chance to launch it before the deal closes. Thus it's not unclear whether Nokia will release the handset before the Microsoft deal is finalized or after.
