We can see that since iPhone and Android, market is getting harder for Nokia’s Symbian phones. To come back in market again, Nokia needs a gamechanger idea and with recent leaked images (posted by @evleaks), Nokia has something big planned with their Asha series of devices.

Seems like Nokia is following Lumia series designs to make Asha phones, and actully the UI of the OS also looks similar to Lumia series Windows Phones.
