After revealing a troupe of smartphones under the Nokia brand at the 2018 MWC in Barcelona, Finnish company HMD Global don’t look to be stopping anytime soon. According to Chinese publication ITHome, HMD Global is all set to launch its new smartphone– Nokia X– according to digital advertisements seen in China. It has also been reported that the advertisement mentioned 27th April 2018, as the launch date.
Different people have different perceptions of the same concept or idea. Whenever we see something out of the standard league, we make opinions about it. Nokia X is one such product which is very different from other Android phones which we have used in the past. In fact, by the look of it and the interface, it does not feel like an Adroid phone at all. But the fact it that it runs on AOSP (Android Open Source Platform) software and is an android phone from the core. It can run android apps, but what is missing is the Android services by Google. It does not run services like Google Play Store, the Gmail App is also not supported.
The feature I personally miss the most is Google contact sync (which works on Windows Phones via email accounts), which is not supported on Nokia X. In this article, I share with you my experience with Nokia X for around 10 days of use. I have been using android phones for more than 2 years now. I also share some stress tests which I did on my Nokia X including a Nokia X drop test on hard marble floor and another test in which we pour cola over Nokia X and check its water resistant capabilities (which are not even claimed by Nokia). In this article, we share with you Nokia X Review in detail from a customer/ users perspective.
