According to some benchmarks on AnTuTu
Microsoft is working on a Nokia X2, a successor to the Nokia X, with a
4,3 inch WVGA screen, 4 GB storage and 5 megapixel camera and running
the Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor.
Now of course these specs could as easily run Windows Phone, and
according to a posting on Secret, a messaging network designed for
posting both true and false news anonymously, the handset is set to
offer the option of Windows Phone also via Dual-boot.
So far so good, but the item goes on to claim to the handset will
offer Google Play Store, which of course is completely counter to
Microsoft’s Nokia X strategy.
The news was posted by one of Michael Faro-Tusino, Senior editor at Unleashthephones and MyNokiaBlog, contacts, which may add a smidgen of credibility to item.
Do our readers think, if Microsoft is to offer an Android handset, it
should at the very least dual-boot Windows Phone? Let us know below.
While
Nokia seems to be ready to come out with its X2 after it was leaked a
benchmark recently, a rumor on the Secret app has stirred a new debate
regarding the smartphone. A post on the app which gives its users
anonymity claims that "the Nokia X2 is going to dual boot Windows Phone
& Android." The post also says that the Android version on the X2
will support Google Play Services which is very unlikely as such a move
goes against Microsoft's business plan.
While this rumor is most probably a hoax as the Nokia X line of phones features a forked Android version that has been built to be independent of any Google's services, we know that the Nokia X2 is most likely going to feature 4GB of internal storage which will make it almost impossible to incorporate both operating systems. Such a phone would not leave any storage space usable to the user.
