Did Nokia Just Tease Their First Smartphone?

Earlier this year, Nokia officially announced their return to mobile, and last we heard, Nokia’s first Android smartphone could very well be released by the end of the year. However the question is, what kind of specs are we looking at? What kind of design could we be looking at? Turns out Nokia may have very well teased it.

In a post on their social media account, Nokia posted the image above which shows a woman having what appears to be a picnic and holding a phone in her hand. This has been taken by some to be a teaser of what’s to come. Now it is entirely possible that the phone in her hand might be a dummy unit, an existing device, or a prototype, but in the past we have seen how some devices have been “accidentally” revealed in photos, so this could be one of those times.

Unfortunately the photo doesn’t really give us much to work with, but as the folks at NPU have pointed out, it does seem to resemble the Nokia N1 tablet which is not necessarily a bad thing. We should note that Nokia’s return to the mobile scene won’t be the same as it was in the past. Nokia won’t actually be manufacturing their phones. Instead it will be more of a licensing deal where the company will lend their brand to manufacturers to create Nokia-branded devices.

We’re not sure what this will mean in terms of quality and consistency across the board, so we guess we’ll just have to wait and see, but in the meantime are you excited for Nokia’s impending return?
