Next-Gen Nokia X Phones To Gain Home Button (Rumor)

While Microsoft’s complete and total acquisition of Nokia’s Devices and Service division finished in April last month, this does not mean that Nokia will no longer work on Android-powered smartphones. In one of the latest reports from BGR India, it seems that there will be a next generation Nokia X range that are in the works, where these rumored handsets are touted to arrive with a built-in home button, now how about that?

Should such rumors be true, then it would mean that Nokia would have scored a first with the Nokia X family. The report which surfaced cited anonymous sources, where it touted that majority of Nokia X owners were not too happy with the fact that there was only one back button located at the bottom of the handset, so the next generation Nokia X could jolly well sport a physical home button in due time.

Of course, with the existing Nokia X, pressing on the back button for longer than usual would redirect users to the Nokia X home screen, which means more needs to be done to point existing owners of the Nokia X of this little “trick”. It is also assumed that the next generation Nokia X will rely on a forked version of Google’s Android operating system accompanied by its own user interface.
