When it comes to product launches, it seems Microsoft likes nothing more than to keep us guessing.
The
latest teaser from the company suggests that a new Nokia X device may
be launching early next week. Unlike Nokia's other Windows Phone-powered
handsets, the X line runs a special version of Android.
A
cryptic post on Nokia's Conversations blog simply titled "Green With
Envy" seems to hint that a new product will be coming out in the next
couple days. The body of the post reads "Summer brings out our inner
glow... stay tuned to Conversations to find out what we've got in
store." Below the text is a timer counting down until Tuesday morning,
when we'll presumably find out what Nokia has planned.
A Microsoft spokesperson did not immediately respond to Mashable's request to comment.
A
launch next week would be consistent with earlier rumors that suggested
a second-generation Nokia X would be launched sometime this month. The
handset is rumored to have a 4.3-inch screen, a 1GHz Snapdragon
dual-core processor and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera, according to
earlier reports from BGR India detailing the device.
The
company sent a similarly mysterious teaser to the press ahead of the
Surface Pro 3 launch, which suggested that a Surface Mini was in the
works. Although the company has remained tight-lipped about why we never
saw the long-rumored smaller Surface, recent evidence appears to
confirm that the device was, in fact, part of Microsoft's initial plan.
