14 DAY TRIAL // There has been much talk about Nokia's comeback on the smartphone market, but fans of the Finnish company will have to keep on hoping until at least the end of the year.
The latest product coming from Nokia after its mobile division was purchased by Microsoft is a tablet. The N1 is an Android slate that has been recently released in China were it sells extremely well.
A few weeks ago, however, word about another product that the Finnish company has in tests made headlines. An unannounced Nokia 1100 (not the old one) has been spotted in benchmarks running Android OS and packing a MediaTek processor.
Obviously, we can't be sure that this is even a Nokia device, but if it is, then it's just one of the many prototypes that a phone gets before going on sale.
All the details about the Nokia 1100 listed in the benchmark pointed to an affordable Android smartphone, something that could offer the Finnish company the possibility to get some market share as fast as possible.

Even though there is no picture of the alleged Nokia 1100 prototype mentioned in the benchmark results list, someone thought to envision what the smartphone could look like if it were a high-end device.
Androidjs.org made some renders and have put them into a video showing us what the Nokia 1100 or any other Nokia smartphone powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop could look like.
Obviously, this isn't a real device, but many Nokia fans will probably purchase such a smartphone in a heartbeat if it were real.
We have no doubt that Nokia will try to get into the smartphone business again at some point, so let's hope one of its first handsets to make it on the market will look at least as good as this concept does.
