Nokia C1 news, release date, specs: Leaked image shows phone running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow
A new photo of a rumored Nokia prototype has been spotted on Tuesday by some tech outlets, revealing what the Nokia C1 may actually look like in real life.
The new image, acquired by Nokia Power User, suggests that the Nokia C1 may feature a five-inch 1080 x 1920 pixel display, and will come with the latest-generation Intel Atom processor.
The handset is expected to feature 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, and may be released with a slim metal casing. What made the leak more interesting is the fact that it shows the C1 running on Android's 6.0 Marshmallow.

According to the International Business Times, Nokia CEO Rajeev Suri has confirmed earlier that the famous tech company will be back at the smartphone market once the Microsoft contract ends in 2016.
Although no confirmation has been given by the tech company, fans of the previous handsets released have expressed their excitement upon seeing the leaked image.
Earlier this year, several reports claimed that Nokia will keep its eye on Asian markets, as well as India, China, and as far as Europe. The company is rumored to unveil a global marketing campaign and an official product website that fans can visit for preorders by the end of this year.
It is worth noting that the company has previously released some "low-end" Android phones aimed at newly opened markets when Stephen Elop was executive vice president. However, multiple reports suggest that if the leaked photo indeed shows the C1, it could open wider doors for Nokia to gain popularity among consumers once the premium device launches.
Meanwhile, some reviews, including one from BGR, a tech blog, says it may be too late for the Finnish company to pick up the pieces from where Elop left off, even if consumers are looking forward to the new smartphone since Samsung, Apple, BlackBerry, and other developing tech giants have gone farther in the race.
