NEW DELHI: The name of Nokia's much-speculated Android phone has reportedly been confirmed, courtesy device's press shots leaked by Twitter user @evleaks. To be called Nokia X, the company's Android phone is reportedly all set to launch at the forthcoming MWC in Barcelona.
The device's press render features a green colour variant of the phone complete with the Nokia X branding also in green colour. Nokia's social media account pages too had switched to a green colour theme during the last weekend, though it has now been removed. The green colour is often associated with Android and perhaps Nokia intends to signal the arrival of the Android-based Nokia X with its upcoming campaign.
Nokia's Android smartphone is said to have a Windows Phone-like interface and will not have access to Google Play Store. Instead, Nokia is said to have added its own app store -- featuring popular apps like Skype, Facebook etc --- in the device.
According to earlier reports, Nokia X will have a 4-inch screen with 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor, 512MB RAM, 5MP camera, Bluetooth 4.0, Android 4.4 (KitKat) operating system and 4GB internal storage. It is said to be a dual-sim smartphone and come in six colour options.
Previously, Vietnamese online retailer Techrum.vn had listed Nokia X on its website at a price of 2.2 mill to 2.5 mill VND (approximately $110).
The Finnish manufacturer has scheduled an event for February 24 -- the first day of MWC 2014 -- where it is also expected to unveil Lumia 630, Lumia 635 and Lumia 930 other than Nokia X. The company is also expected to showcase a new Asha smart feature phone at the event.
