The day has come – Nokia has officially joined the Android market with not one, but three different devices. These three are Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL, all of which get their power from a rather mediocre 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. There are some changes as well – Nokia X has a 4-inch WVGA screen and 512MB of RAM, Nokia X+ rocks 768MB of RAM, while the XL boasts a larger, 5-inch screen alas with same (WVGA) resolution. Check out additional details in the table below.
But before that, let’s look at the software; you won’t see “anything Google” on the Nokia X series. Instead of Google Play, users can access Nokia Store, instead of Google Maps – there are HERE maps. Also worth mentioning are preloaded apps such as MixRadio, BBM, Plants vs. Zombies 2, Viber, Vine and Twitter, as well as Microsoft stuff like Skype, OneDrive and Outlook.com.
The Redmond giant on its end will provide 10GB of free OneDrive storage and 1-month of free Skype calls with every Nokia Android smartphone. According to Elop, “Nokia X together with Lumia represents a deliberate strategy to leverage Microsoft services” as opposed to Google’s.
Nokia X will be available soon in Asia Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, the Middle-East and Africa for €89. The Nokia X+ and XL will follow at some point in the second quarter, selling for €99 and €109 respectively.
