All About Nokia X OS

The operating system is called the Nokia X. It was developed  on the basis of Android 4.1.2 SDK from the AOSP (Android Open Source Project, Project Android open-source). The user interface is different from the familiar to Android. Access to the app store Google Play absent.

Despite the lack of Google Play, Nokia X supports Android-Apps. Nokia says that the majority of Android-applications can be published in Nokia Store without modification. If it needs to be brought into line with the platform, then -on the assurances of the company -Nokia X analytical tool scan reduce the time to be spent on porting applications. The fact that this tool is able to determine what changes should be made to the application.

Nokia X will provide the ability to the developers to bring their applications to a new audience: its subscribers are 160 operators in more than 60 markets of the world. The idea is that the phones are Nokia X entry-level devices and focused primarily on those users who do not have a smartphone before. The application developers have a chance to offer their programs for those users who do not have favorite applications.

Seeing all specifications and price, we can say it an affordable handset. Some third party apps comes pre-installed with Nokia X including BBM, Plants vs Zombies 2, Vine, Viber and Twiter.

Jussi Nevanlinna, Nokia’s vice president said that the Finnish Company is locating the Nokia X as a bridge to high-end Windows Smartphones under the Lumia brand.

Some believe that the Nokia X -the last thing that makes a Finnish corporation as an independent company. But this view is not universal. As Stephen Elop himself and his team go at Microsoft, it would be illogical to create a platform, the development of which will be almost immediately discontinued.
