Although it’s questionable whether switching to Android really would have left Nokia better off than it was with Windows Phone, it’s certainly been fun to speculate on just what a Nokia-designed Android phone would look like. Now @evleaks has posted some pictures showing us Nokia’s own unique brand of Android and we can definitely see some design influences that carry over from Windows Phone. In particular, note the call screen in the middle picture that uses the same type of brightly colored tiles that distinguish the Windows Phone 8 UI design. Also, given that one of the pictures shows Skype seemingly preloaded onto Nokia’s version of Android, it seems that the company didn’t want to stray too far from Microsoft by making a more Google-centric device.
