Nokia Launch Android-Based Smartphone

 

The Nokia X is a mid-tier smartphone developed by Nokia, unveiled as part of the new Nokia X family on February 24, 2014. The Nokia X runs a modified (forked) version of Android, referred as the Nokia X software platform. The device shipped on the same day as the unveiling, with Nokia targeting the product for emerging markets.
The X was previously under development known as Normandy, Project N, the Asha on Linux project and MView.
The phone was unveiled by Stephen Elop at the 2014 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Contrary to previous leaks, two variants, Nokia Xand Nokia X+were released, with the Nokia X+ having 768 MB of RAM, as opposed to 512 MB of RAM, as well as with a microSD card included in the box.
A third phone, the Nokia XL, was announced, with a larger screen, front-facing camera, rear flash, and longer battery runtime.
Very soon after release, a developer had rooted the device, and enabled the installation of Google's apps and services.
