Rumours about a new Nokia smartphone or phone have been cropping up recently, but Nokia have put those rumours to rest by releasing an official statement denying that they have plans to do so. This coincides with their current deal with Microsoft as Nokia is not allowed to launch any phone or handset with it's name or branding until Q2 of 2016. Check out the full Nokia statement below:
Nokia notes recent news reports claiming the company communicated an intention to manufacture consumer handsets out of a R&D facility in China. These reports are false, and include comments incorrectly attributed to a Nokia Networks executive. Nokia reiterates it currently has no plans to manufacture or sell consumer handsets.
Do note however that this does not include any new Nokia tablets or other devices, so we should be able to expect perhaps a Nokia N2 tablet or other mobile device in the near future.
