NOKIA ANDROID BASED PHONES...

Well Nokia has resisted the Android temptation for a while,preffering to stay with Symbian,Asha and Windows Phone for its devices.

But now Nokia made the news official that they are going to release the Android based mobiles on the name of X series Nokia is releasing three models named X,X+and XL.Nokia X series of Android devices are budget ranged best mobiles.Well the X comes with a 4.0 inch display and 512 MB RAM,theX+ also has a 4.0 inch display but has 768 MB RAM and the XL has a 5.0 inch display and 768 MB RAM.All of these devices are going to be powered by dual core Snapdragon processors from Qualcomm and will have displays of 800 x 480 resolution.They will be dual sim devices and here the X and X+ come with 3.0-Megapixel cameras while the XL comes with a 5.0-Megapixel one.These devices run with Android Version 4.1.2,Jelly Bean.You may think that this is a bit old Version,well on paper,yes but this is a different kind of Android not like the one in other devices.Nokia has made a few tweaks to the OS.The interface is not going to be like other Android devices.It is going to be a mix of what you saw on the Lumia and Asha series of devices.There is just one home screen with all your apps arranged in the form of boxes and tiles,similar to Lumia series.Also a lot of the regular apps that you get on android like Gmail and Maps have been replaced by Nokia/microsoft alternatives like Here Maps and Nokia Mix Radio etc... You don't have to worry about the Latest Version of Android in this case,as this Version of Android is going to be made totally by the folks who made Nokia.They will be placing out software updates whenever they improve the OS.One more thing is there will be no Google Play on Nokia's Android devices,fear not apps will be in plenty as Nokia will have its own App Store on their devices and you will be able to access other app stores such as Yandex from your Nokia X series device and if still you need more apps you can always sideload...i mean directly install Android apps on your device with the help of APK.Well finally the most interesting thing is that it is not your usual android...
