Nokia's Android smartphone - codenamed Normandy - said to be in development at the Finnish firm, is now understood to have reached a halt.
According to reports, insiders claim that Peter Skillman, Nokia's chief UI designer, has ditched the plans for Android smartphones and tablets, and is instead focussing more towards wearable products and smart glasses which might show up in 2015 or later.
Previous leaks had suggested that Nokia would create an Android-powered smartphone, despite Microsoft gearing up to take over the company in January. It was speculated that the Finnish tech firm would make more than one Android smartphones, along with a 7-inch Android-powered tablet.
However, new reports claim Nokia will not be able to make any new smartphones or tablets for two years, following the Microsoft deal. And hence the company will now focus solely towards the wearable tech and smart glasses, which can be still produced under its name during the next two years.
