An old prototype Android smartphone from Nokia has been listed on eBay, showing how the company was actively working on Android devices before choosing Windows at the behest of the company’s then-CEO, Stephen Elop. Called Nokia Ion Mini, the phone is listed on eBay UK for $1,999 (around Rs. 1.4 lakh).
According to the seller’s description on eBay, the device features a 800×480 display, is powered by the Snapdragon 400 SoC with a 1.2GHz CPU, and comes with 1GB of RAM alongside 8GB of internal storage. The seller also claims that all critical connectivity options work fine, including calling, Wi-Fi and 3G data. The cameras and most other features also apparently work without any issues.
Neither phone was announced officially by Nokia, but both are in working condition and are fully-unlocked, ensuring compatibility with all networks.
