After a dismal performance of Lumia handsets, the Finland-based smartphone company is rumored to release a series of new Nokia Android phones.

According to reports, the Nokia C1 handset will be released towards the end of 2016 and the renders of the possible handset surfaced on the web.
Even though the design looks similar to that of other competing smartphones, it’s nice to see Nokia edging towards the release of new phones loaded with Android.
