First Android Smartphone Nokia
Nokia Normandy" May Be The Company's First Android Smartphone
Above is the picture of handset that is triggering
minds of most of the tech geeks. It is rumoured that the device shown
above code name: "Normandy" is the Nokia's first handset to run Android
OS.
The mystery phone very much looks like an Asha device but is it running Android?. First of all, this project was started before Microsoft bought Nokia. The handset was meant to replace a low-end Asha phone. Now the chances are verylikey that Microsoft may cancel this project. But if after all the rumours come true, it will be a very low-end smartphone even lacking GPS(but that's not obvious).
The above picture was leaked by @eveleaks. If it is "Normady" then, according to The Verge report, they have been told by several anonymous sources that the Normandy is in fact running Android.
Normandy features a highly customized android version just like Fire OS running on Amazon's Kindle series.
This allows users to experience android in Nokia's ecosystem. But
still, running an android OS means access to millions of Apps on Google
Play. That's enough for an entry level phone.
I don't think that Microsoft will allow the handset to run Android but if it does, it is coming in early 2014.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Concept, Shows Reduced Bezel And Improved TouchWiz UI
the design shows edge to edge screen with new and better U. New UI means improved TouchWiz 5. The device is running Android 4.4 and instead of using notifications on the lock screen, the screen now has new interactive notifications. You can get the idea by seeing the rendered pictures of Samsung Galaxy S5 gallery.
This is only the concept which has nothing to do with the original device. There are rumours that original Samsung Galaxy S5 will be announced in MWC 2014.

4. Sony Xperia L
Sony Xperia L is a great device from Sony boosting a dual-core processor 8 MP camera and NFC. Android 4.2 update has arrived on Xperia l and hopefully it will receive 4.3 update also.
5.Sony Xperia M
Sony Xperia M offers buttery smooth performance with good hardware. It's a direct competitor of Xperia l
except a smaller display and a low resolution camera.
Note: Huawei Honor C and Honor X are not available yet so they are not mentioned in this list.
