Finally Nokia with Android is here, the Nokia X has been launched and will soon be available for a price tag of Rs. 8,599. The Nokia X apparently becomes the first Nokia handset launched in India that runs on the Android platform Along with Nokia X, the X+ and the XL were also announced and will be available within few months./p>
Though the handset runs on the Android OS it is powered by Nokia / Microsoft services i.e. users will not get access to the Google play store but they will be able to install apps via Nokia app store.
However users will be able to install 3rd party app (using the unknown sources option) just like on other android powered handsets.
The Nokia X is a dual SIM handset powered by Snapdragon S4 (dual core) processor running Android 4.1 (Nokia X platform 1.0) with 512MB RAM and 4GB storage
There is a 3MP rear camera and battery is 1500 mAh capacity. 3G, WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth come built in.
The X will be available in 6 different color options. 3GB ONE Drive cloud space is also included free of cost. And instead of the Google Maps you will find the Nokia Here Maps that will work with the built in GPS. It is rather disappointing that X users will not be able to use the Google play store, however Nokia store might get most of the stuffs included they call it the same code base. New user base (most of the apps will work and all that the developers need to do is get it listed [after a compatibility test] on the Nokia store), moreover there is already a lot of 3rd party development happening to root the Nokia X and gain access to the play store. Do check out the Nokia X that will hit the Indian stores within few days.
Nokia X (Nokia Normandy) has long been rumored about.
This is Nokia’s first Android smartphone and it comes with heavily customized version of Android OS.
What comes as a surprise is that Nokia has not launched just one device but has launched 3 devices overall running on a customized Android OS.
The devices are named as Nokia X (Normandy), Nokia X+ and Nokia XL.

Both Nokia X and X+ would have a 4-inch WVGA display while the Nokia XL will have a taller body and will feature a 5-inch display (resolution not know yet).
The Nokia XL will have a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP front facing camera for photography and video calling needs.
All the Nokia X series of phone will not have Google Playstore on board, however for applications user can rely on the Nokia’s Android Store (AoL) and other third party app stores.
These devices from Nokia are more like the Kindlefires from Amazon which are also not Google certified.
It is worth waiting and looking at the kind of response Nokia gets for its Android phone.
