It seems that being owned by Microsoft is not enough to force Nokia to abandon its Android ways. The dark satanic rumour mill has manufactured a hell on earth yarn which suggests that Nokia is will release a high-end Android phone after the take-over.

Microsoft purchased Nokia's Devices and Services division back in April. As a part of the deal, Nokia is prevented from making smartphones until 2016, but now a new report has emerged claiming that the team behind Nokia's old flagship device, the Nokia N9 is hard at work developing a flagship Android handset.

Nokia released its last forked Android running devices back in June, but in July, Microsoft's CEO, Satya Nadella announced that Microsoft was moving Nokia X product designs to become Lumia products running Windows. Redmond announced it was replacing the Nokia Lumia branding with a Microsoft logo and just yesterday, alleged photos of Microsoft-branded phones were leaked.

However since Redmond did not buy Nokia’s mapping and network divisions the chances of a division making an Android phone under the Nokia name are quite high. The rumour is that we will see a flagship Android phone made by Nokia when it is free to sell phones in 2016.
