NOKIA finally launches 3 new Android-powered smartphones



Although Nokia will soon be acquired by Microsoft, the company announced a triad of Android-powered smartphones Monday(24/02/2014) at the Mobil World Congress 2014.

Nokia's new phones, the Nokia X, Nokia X+ and the Nokia XL are powered by Qualcomm's 1GHz Snapdragon dual core processor, are Dual SIM and feature a Lumia-style design with a myriad of color choices.

The operating system of the phones is a modified version of Android's Jelly Bean, and the home screen looks similar to Windows Phone. The devices will not have access to Google's Play store but instead third-party app stores and Nokia's app store of its own. Continue...






"Today, Windows Phone is the fastest growing mobile ecosystem in the world, and we continue to see incredible momentum with our Lumia smartphones," said Bryan Biniak, vice president and general manager of developer experience at Nokia in a statement. "Now, with the introduction of the Nokia X family of devices, we're delivering the same design, quality and innovation Nokia is known to lower price points to capture the fastest-growing segment of the smartphone market."

The Nokia X, boasts a 4-inch IPS capacitive display and 3 megapixel camera. It includes 512MB of RAM and 4GB of storage, which can be expanded with a microSD card.
