Nokia Phones May Exit Android One

 Nokia phones may be primed to get an overhaul in the software department, after years of being listed under Google’s stock software Android One programme. The information comes courtesy an XDA Developers report, which cites a LinkedIn job posting by Nokia brand owner HMD Global for a user experience designer. Even though the job description in question doesn’t quite specify a mobile software designer’s role, HMD Global does cite a new ‘services’ division in the company, suggesting that it may be looking to establish a new department to add first-party apps and services to its smartphone software.

This, it is important to note, does not particularly confirm that Nokia is looking to exit the Android One ecosystem. The UX Designer in question may also be working on other related projects under the HMD Global umbrella, and more information on it should come our way in the coming months if the company does make such a drastic change to its phone interface.
