What's next with Nokia: Android OS Salfish or Newkia? - CHIP

just that with very limited options. At least at first glance. Under the agreement, Microsoft and Nokia, which incidentally has not yet entered into force, Nokia will be able to again sell the phones under its own brand since December 31, 2015. This means that already in 2016 we see the first phones from Finland, running an operating system other than Windows Phone.

choice seems pretty simple: either Salfish OS, or Android, or Newkia.

first option is Salfish OS. This project Jolla company, which was established on the foundation of “exiles” from Nokia when they signed relevant agreements with Microsoft Windows and addressed Phone’em. New on the smartphone market maker is, however, very difficult to start and he translates the launch of their first smartphone. Even if it ultimately is successful, the purchase Jolli for two years may be a good option for Nokia.

Another choice might be Android . The agreement with Microsoft allows Nokia to sell their phones only in 2016, so the Finns have plenty of time to develop new smartphones in its R & D labs, which are among the top in the world. Many people today say that if Nokia from the beginning dealt with Google’s operating system rather than Windows Phone’em, the Finns would be “not for sale”.

One of those is Thomas Zilliacus , a former employee of Nokia, who spent 15 years in it. This is the third option, which however involves complete elimination of the Finnish company. Zilliacus founded Newkia and wants to take over all the employees Finnish manufacturer, as well as all the “know-how” that is, the knowledge and ability to do “the best phones on the the world. ” He has managed to collect quite a large group of former employees of Nokia and hopes that the successive join him.

class=”c15″> Zilliacus pompously announced that Newkia will have its headquarters in Singapore, but the most important R & D center will open in Finland. The plan is quite simple – collect the knowledge, capabilities and designers to build the best phones in the world, but based on Android. The first smartphone is to be built over the next year.

All three options seem to be very interesting, though the latter, the most reliable, would mean a good farewell to the legendary brand. However, I believe that the spirit of Nokia’s return to the market with a vengeance and, regardless of what system, “Nokiowcy” will continue to make the best phones in the world.
