The previously rumoured Nokia Normandy Android smartphone is in news again, this time confirming that the device could run on the latest Android 4.4 Kit Kat.

Just last week we reported that Nokia’s Android project dubbed as Normandy might just be alive and that the smartphone could be an entry-level device which would look similar to the Asha 501 with the codename RM-980 A110, a 4-inch display and dual-SIM capability

Today some fresh news has emerged and again @evleaks has provided us with some rendered images of the device which give an idea about how the lockscreen would look and also apps like Viber and Skype. Not just that, the device has been put through Antutu’s benchmark test which shows that the smartphone has a 4-inch FWVGA display (480×854 pixels), a 5MP rear camera, runs on Android 4.4.1 KitKat and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Earlier reports also said that Nokia might just kill the Asha platform and switch to Android for its low-end ranged devices.

Though the rumours sound exciting, they seem too good to be true. Microsoft has already taken over Nokia and the OEM venturing into the Android bandwagon seems quite unlikely. Also, making fake screenshots is not a difficult task today. All in all, we can only hope that Nokia would take such a drastic decision, till then we shall wait for more news to pop in.
