Nokia Has Launched His Android Series Named "X"

  • The Nokia X family is a range of new smartphones from Nokia introduced in 2014, running a forked version of Android. They are priced between the Nokia Asha and Nokia Lumia devices.
  • The Nokia X software platform is based on Android Open Source Project (AOSP) v4.1.2[1] and the Linux kernel.[2] Nokia have combined Android apps with Nokia experiences (such as HERE Maps, Nokia Xpress and MixRadio) and Microsoft services (such as Skype and Outlook). Nokia officially described the software as bringing "the best of all worlds". It also encompasses features from the Asha platform, such as the Fastlane. The user interfacemimics that of Windows Phone, which powers Nokia's Lumia smartphones. The OS has been heavily compared to Amazon.com's Fire OS for the Kindle Fire tablets, which is also based on AOSP.
  • Google's applications have been replaced by Nokia's and Microsoft's. Although the Google Play store is not included, with Nokia offering apps from their own Nokia Store, Nokia has confirmed that 75% of Android apps are currently compatible. Nokia has also noted that developers can port the remaining missing apps in a matter of hours.
  • In terms of hardware, the Nokia X devices heavily resemble the newer (50x and 230) Asha phones, as well as containing Lumia features. They contain a single 'back' button like the Asha 50x and 230.
