Nokia's first Android smartphone, the Nokia X, is now listed
at an online retailer in India, with a price of Rs. 8,500. The retailer claims
the Nokia X smartphone will be available from 15 March 2014.
The Nokia X is powered by 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, alongside 512MB of RAM. It sports a 3-megapixel rear camera. The Nokia X handset comes with 4GB of in-built storage, and can be expanded up to 32GB via microSD card.
The Nokia X supports Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, AGPS, EDGE, GPRS and 3G connectivity options. It is backed by a 1500mAh battery, which can deliver up to 13 hours of talktime and up to 672 hours of standby time on 2G network.
The Finnish manufacturer had soon after its MWC 2014 event,
listed the Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL dual-SIM variants on its India site,
without pricing or availability details. At the MWC 2014 launch, the company
had said the Nokia X would go on sale 'immediately' in Africa, Asia-Pacific,
Europe, India, Latin America, and the Middle East.
The Nokia X has been listed on the Mobile Store and was
first spotted by Maktech blog. The Nokia X is available in its Black, Green,
Cyan, Yellow, Red, and White colour variants. Of course since this is a
third-party store, one cannot be certain if this will be the official launch
price, whenever the phone is unveiled in India.
The Nokia X is based on the Android Open Source Project
(AOSP), and is powered by Microsoft and Nokia services. The highlight of the
Nokia X is the highly customised version of Android, with the Metro-inspired UI
and access to Nokia's own app store. While there's no access to Google's Play
Store, users can side-load Android apps from any third-party source. Nokia has
used the AOSP version corresponding to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as the baseline
for its operating system
The Nokia X offers dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) support with dual
standby. The first Android phone from Nokia features a 4-inch IPS LCD display
with a 480x800 pixel resolution, translating to a pixel density of 233ppi.The Nokia X is powered by 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, alongside 512MB of RAM.
