One of Nokia's most popular feature
phones, the Nokia 1100, is once again i
the news. A handset with that model
number was spotted running Google's
latest Android build and powered by a
quad-core processor under the hood.
Nokia's legendary phone has been
spotted at a benchmark listing tipping
details of the innards. First spotted by
Nokia Power User, the Nokia 1100's
Geekbench browser benchmark results
show the handset running Android 5.0
Lollipop while including a quad-core
MediaTek (MT6582) processor. The liste
Nokia 1100 handset is seen featuring
512MB of RAM. Apart from the Android
version, processor, and memory, there
are no details about other specifications
With the form factor of the original Noki
1100, we find it hard to believe the
Finnish company might be testing
running any version of Android on it,
forget Lollipop. It is more likely an in-
development smartphone that the
company is using the same model
number for. Of course, the spotted Nokia
1100 with Android is unlikely to debut
before Q4 2016, as the terms of
Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's
Devices and Services business stipulate
Nokia can no longer use its brand on
smartphones till Q4 2016, and on featur
phones for 10 years.
The Nokia 1100 was launched late in
2003 and is one of the company's
biggest milestones as it's owned by
around 250 million people worldwide,
according to the company. Nokia even
claimed that the Nokia 1100 was "the
world's most popular phone."
Last year, Nokia neatly bypassed the
restrictions imposed by the Microsoft de
and launched the Nokia N1 tablet. The
company called it the "first Nokia-
branded Android tablet" and was initially
launched in China in Q1 2015 with a
brand-licensing agreement extending to
an OEM partner (Foxconn) that would
manufacture, distribute, and sell it.
