2014-02-24 09:27:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Nokia announced its new range of X smartphones that can run Android applications. Part of an increased focus on emerging markets, the X phones will offer a user interface inspired by the tiles on its high-end Lumia smartphones at a much lower price point, while also adding access to Android apps through the Nokia Store. Apps such as BBM, Facebook, Line, Skype and Twitter will be available at launch for the X phones, and Nokia said most existing Android apps can be published on the Nokia Store with no changes. The new range of phones includes the Nokia X, with a 4-inch IPS display and 3MP camera; the Nokia X+ optimised for multimedia functions; and the Nokia XL, with 5-inch display, 2MP front-facing camera and a 5MP rear-facing camera with flash. Available in a range of colours, the phones are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor and support dual SIM. The Nokia X will go on sale immediately, starting at EUR 89 and rolling out in Asia-Pacific, Europe, India, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. The Nokia X+ and Nokia XL are planned to launch in the same markets early in the second quarter, priced at EUR 99 and EUR 109, respectively.
