A leaked hands-on video of the Nokia 400 feature phone has surfaced after an extended period of silence. There had been rumors that the Android-powered Nokia phone may have been abandoned, but the new video may indicate the opposite.
The back and forth movement of the Nokia 400 feature phone traces back to April 2019, when it was reported that an Android version for feature phones was under development by Google. A video surfaced online later that year indicating that Nokia was already deploying the new Android version for its feature phone. Subsequent details revealed that the device could be called Nokia 400 upon release, and it was confirmed that it would run on Google Android for Feature Phones. However, a combination of events made the device still remain under the hood, at least until now. 
The new hands-on video provided a close view of the first Android-running feature phone we’ve set our eyes on. The phone is no different from the regular feature phones. It features a tiny display, a T9 keypad, a removable back panel, and a matte polycarbonate body. The phone also features most of the basic functions connected with Nokia feature phones. 
The Nokia 400 also supports Google Assistant together with several apps that could be seen on the home screen. On the icon tray, you have the Google Chrome browser, Youtube, Share, and Camera icons. There is a button in the center to open the app collection. The app drawer contains pre-installed Airtel apps, and other common apps like file manager, calculator, Clock, Gallery, and so on. The Nokia 400 runs on Android 8.1.0 Oreo with 512MB of RAM.
There is no way to verify at this time, the video relating to the Nokia 400 feature phone. If indeed the video was a current version, there are no hints of its pricing or availability. It is, however, believed that the Nokia 400 is made for the Indian market, going by some preinstalled apps found on the device.
