After the N1 tablet, should Nokia also make an Android phone?

When Nokia announced that it would sell its Devices and Services unit to Microsoft, it was pretty clear that the company would completely give up on manufacturing and selling mobile devices. However, it turned out that what’s left of Nokia didn’t really abandon the idea of being a gadget maker. Last month, the Finnish company announced the N1, its very first Android tablet.



While the Nokia N1 looks a bit too much like an iPad mini, customers are really excited about it. And for a good reason: this is a high-end, aluminum-made Android Lollipop tablet that will cost just $249.



Seeing that Nokia isn’t afraid to experiment, we were wondering: should the company also want to make Android smartphones? And by that we don’t mean handsets like those included in the Nokia X line (which can hardly be considered Android devices anyway, since they only promote Microsoft apps and services), but something similar to the N1 slate: high-end Lollipop smartphones with an accessible prices.



What do you think? Should Nokia, now that it’s no longer tied to Microsoft, test the waters with a true Android smartphone? Cast your vote in the poll bellow.
