It seems that Nokia’s Android oddity wasn’t just a one-off experiment, as despite the fact that the company has now been bought up by Microsoft it’s apparently working on the next-generation of phones in the ‘X’ series. That’s according to BGR India, which further heard that these new phones will come with a dedicated home button. One of the many unusual things about the original Nokia X, Nokia XL and Nokia X+ was that they only had a back button, so anyone used to quickly tapping a home button to get to the main screen was out of luck.

If you thought Microsoft might nip Nokia’s “Android” smartphones in the bud after completing the acquisition, think again. The erstwhile Nokia team, now Microsoft Mobile, is currently working on the next generation of smartphones in its X-series portfolio and the new smartphones will come with a dedicated home button, BGR India has exclusively learned. Nokia found a lot of users complaining about the lack of a home button in the Nokia X, which only had a back button. Many users did not realize that long pressing the back button would take them to the home screen rather than having to press it multiple times to reach the home screen one step back at a time. Reaching the home screen easily is crucial in the Nokia X series as it doesn’t have a regular swipe down notification bar and users have to first go to the homescreen and then reach the Fastlane interface by swiping from the side of the display.
