Hands On:
The Nokia X, a beautifully crafted smartphone with Nokia's signature design approach and bold, bright colors, The bright green looks really good It's very catchy to the eyes, at only 10.4mm thin, the slim, durable monobody design features a 4" capacitive WVGA touchscreen that provides great readability, and exchangeable back covers, Inside the device it runs on Nokia X Software Platform, it is a "Forked" Android 4.1.2 OS, and is powered by 1GHz Dual Core Qualcomm Snapdragon Processor.
I was able to get my hands on the Nokia X, I think the phone is very promising, It's I should say a baby OS so the User Experience is somewhat laggy but I think that's not a major issue maybe a major update will fix it, The 3.15MP Camera is good well for it's range, don't expect a 3.15mp camera to shoot like a 41 megapixel camera. the 1500MAH battery lasts for about 6hrs on heavy internet usage. and could last up to 1 day of regular use.
The Nokia X is now available in selected Nokia Stores and Dealers for Php 5990. It comes in Bright Green, Briight Red, White, and Black.
