Nokia Turns Android?
Nokia, now owned by microsoft was suspected to shred all android OS related plans as they are tied up with the Lumia series, the lumia 520.525,720, which were a huge hit. Months before, a worker leaked the existence of a Nokia android phone in the test phase. This was proven true, when Nokia showcased android phone series, The x variant recently.
Whats the catch ?
The phone features a 4inch LCD display (800*400) with preloaded Nokia and Microsoft Apps. The phone is powered by a dual core 1GHZ qualcomm snapdragon (The variant that has been successfully powering the Lumia brothers). The x+ and xl variants have been bumped upto 760MB ram and 5inch display,while the x variant just has 512mb ram and 4 inch display. The device has incorporated 5MP steady focus camera, which causes a doubt that this may fall in budget segment (below 6000 Indian rupee). It also have an internal storage of around 4GB(2.8GB usable).
Verdict
The phone does not have playstore installed and hence Google services are ruled out officially. This device features a custom operating system. This makes the device somewhat a windows 8 like feel with running android OS. which again fails to impress customers.
