Nokia X launching in the Philippines on March 11

Listen to article

Looks like Nokia X is arriving in the Philippines way earlier than we expected. We just got an invite that Nokia Philippines is launching the Android-based Nokia X this March 11.

We first got a closer look at the Nokia X series of smartphones last month when we went to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress 2014.

The new line is represented by low-cost handsets like the Nokia X, Nokia X+ and the Nokia XL — all of which were priced in the Php5,000 to Php7,000 range (before taxes and subsidies).

The March 11 launch will only be for the Nokia X model only as the X+ and the XL is still scheduled for 2nd quarter of 2014.

@abuzalzal
Ever heard of AOSP (Android Open Source Project)? It’s the pure version of Android – all without the services run by Google (e.g. Maps, Play Store, etc.) and it’s where Nokia based the OS that runs on the Nokia X.

Just because it does not have Google Services you’re referring to, does not mean it’s not a “fully functional Android”.

Sorry, but it seems you’ve got a lot of researching to do, pal.
