Nokia X now available in India. X+ and XL to follow suit soon.

The Nokia X is a device launched by Nokia which runs a forked version of Android. The Android part is present without google services, though that can be done easily, with the help of porting. The X, X+ and the XL were announced in the Mobile World Congress, and now the device is available here in India for Rs. 8599/-

The device was launched in Mumbai on March 10, 2014. The phone comes with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor and 512MB of RAM with 4GB of ROM which is expandable via microSD card slot to 32GB. The camera on the Nokia X is a 3MP Fixed focus shooter without crystal rectifier flash. The phone offers Wi-Fi, A-GPS, and Bluetooth. The device comes with 1500mAh battery which stands for 10.5 hours on 3G and for 28 days on standby.

The X+ and the XL are advanced devices while the Nokia X is an entry device in the family. The devices don’t have access to Google Play Store by default.

Nokia is holding a DVLUPer challenge which will give prize to the person who designs the best software around the platform. This is a good way to hire some new developers to the market and make them more used to a particular platform, especially Android. Good going, Nokia. Still an Innovating company.
