諾基亞將推安卓智能機 欲奪回新興市場

Nokia, the company that made a huge bet on the Windows Phone operating system and will be formally acquired by Microsoft within months for $7.4 billion, is about to launch a new smartphone this month running an operating system based on Google’s Android.

諾基亞，下了大賭注在微軟Windows Phone上，而且將要正式被微軟以74億美元收購了。就在此時，諾基亞卻打算在本月推出搭載谷歌安卓系統(tǒng)的智能手機。

The Wall Street Journal reports that Nokia’s new phone, which has leaked a few times during the last few months under the codename Normandy, will run a modified version of Android that doesn’t include Google services like Gmail, Google Maps, and the Google Play store for Android apps and other content. That means Google won’t generate any revenue from Nokia’s phone, even though the operating system is based on Android.

華爾街日報報道表示，在過去幾個月里，一直有消息傳出，諾基亞將這個智能手機計劃命名為諾曼底計劃。在諾基亞版的安卓手機中，部分谷歌開發(fā)的功能將不會出現(xiàn)，比如Gmail，谷歌地圖和谷歌應(yīng)用商店等。這就意味著，谷歌將不會從諾基亞的安卓智能手機中獲得任何收益。

The so-called Nokia Normandy will be formally announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Nokia is scheduled for a press event on February 24, which is when we should get our first look at the phone.

諾基亞的這次諾曼底計劃將在2月24日舉行的巴塞羅那全球移動大會上正式宣布。屆時，我們將一睹諾基亞的安卓手機風(fēng)采。

Nokia’s phone will likely be targeted at emerging markets where cheap smartphones are more popular than top-tier devices like the iPhone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S4. The Normandy will have Microsoft and Nokia services like Nokia’s Here maps and a separate Nokia app store, according to the WSJ report.

諾基亞的安卓智能手機將主要面向新興市場。新興市場中，價格便宜的智能手機比高端手機如iPhone 5S和三星Galaxy S4更受歡迎。根據(jù)華爾街日報的報道，該手機將安裝有微軟和諾基亞所研發(fā)的一套服務(wù)產(chǎn)品，如Here地圖，以及諾基亞安卓應(yīng)用商店。
