After months of speculation and leaks, the hotly anticipated Android
device from Nokia has been officially announced at Mobile World
Congress in Barcelona. A bane to Windows Phone users and many
die hard Nokia fans, this device is likely to be the last mobile phone
announced by Nokia before it officially hands off its mobile phone
division to Microsoft. The Nokia X runs a forked version of Android
called AOSP similar to devices offered by Barnes & Nobles and
Amazon. These devices are unique in that they are greatly customized
and are not loaded with the google services generally seen in devices
from Samsung, HTC etc.
Nokia has struggled to build traction for its Asha line of devices since
launch and the Nokia X is their attempt at responding to the growing
number of lower end android devices eating into Nokia’s market share
in developing economies. The Nokia X, X+ and XL specs speaks low
end through and through and come with exciting features.
On the software side, the biggest showcase is the new Nokia App
Store and its highly customized UI. The new Nokia Store will
come preloaded with a host of apps but will also connect to other third
party App stores such as Yandex to ensure access to all Android apps
is possible. Borrowing heavily from the Windows phone tiled
interface and its Asha counterpart, the Nokia X’s home screen
comprises of boxed colorful re-sizable live tiles which can easily be
customized to your liking. The core of the device includes Nokia’s
HERE suite of applications and interestingly, a host of Microsoft
services including Skype and OneDrive.
