Nokia has announced its first Android smartphone, the Nokia X, for the Indian market. The Android smartphone from Nokia will be available starting Monday, at Rs. 8,599.
The Nokia X+, and Nokia XL have been announced for India as well, and will be launched within the next two months.
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 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 is available in its Black, Green, Cyan, Yellow, Red, and White colour variants.
Nokia is also offering 3GB of additional free OneDrive storage for photos, with auto-sync features. Nokia Mix Radio and Here Maps with voice directions will also come preloaded.
