#nokia x philippines

Nokia Philippines officially launched the Nokia X yesterday, just a little over 2 weeks after it was first announced in MWC Barcelona last February 24. Running on a Nokia X Platform 1.0 which is a derivative of Android 4.1.2, the Nokia X supports around 75% of all Android apps available in Google Play Store (although the handset runs on its own Nokia App Store). You can read more about our first impressions here and some more details about the Nokia X Platform here. 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.
