Nokia X

Hands-on at MWC 2014: Nokia's first Android phone is very cheap and moderately cheerful

The Nokia X is most exciting because of its Android software. However, it's the design and hardware we like most here, as the limited app support and potentially niggly software need a bit of time to develop.

Nokia X review

Microsoft tries to own all the Google juice

Strong build quality ; Low cost ; Dual SIM flexibility

Weak performance ; Dim display ; Poor battery endurance

Ratings in depth Ever since Nokia decided to go all-in with Windows Phone, there has been a nagging feeling that it would have been better off using Android as its mobile operating system of choice.

Nokia X review

We take a look at Nokia's Android-based super-budget smartphones

The X range will start shipping in March, but Western European countries won't see the phone until later. The lack of popular apps is definitely a problem, and for the moment we'd much rather spend £120 on a

Nokia X Software Platform: An Android-Windows Phone mess (hands-on)

Nokia sure tried hard to give us something new, but its mashup of Android, Windows Phone, and Asha gives its Nokia X phone limited powers and a nagging identity crisis.

What about here in the UK? There are better phones available for a similar price, and if you can stretch to the cost of, say, a Moto G, you will get a massively superior device. Just not in bright green.

Nokia N73 ‘X Series’ from Three

I remember an extremely wet day last year, a very long walk from Clapham Junction to Battersea Bridge (faulty sat nav) and then a presentation offering almost everything that a mobile phone could possibly offer.

It was a huge event held at Three's UK headquarters with almost all the partners there for the multitude of things that can work with a phone. All the journalists there were offered a three month loan of a phone and when mine arrived this year I put it...

Mobile Multimedia Telephony : Nokia N73 X-series on 3

Recently I have been carrying a camera; PIM; MP3 player; data link to my home computer; television; and phone all within a single device that doesn't cause a bulge in my pocket.

Coming across one of my original mobile phones recently (I had thought all my old models had been dispatched to a charity) helped to re-enforce the strides such devices had made over a relatively short period. Developed initially as a means of voice...

Nokia X review: Under cover

The Nokia X is one of the Finns' first ever smartphones to run Android and yet it may not be the Android phone you've been looking for. Perhaps you've been looking in the wrong place? Nokia will certainly like you to think so. To be honest though -...

Quad-band GSM, GPRS, EDGE ; Dual-band 3G with HSPA ; Optional dual-SIM support, dual standby ; Nokia X software platform 1.0, based on the Android Open Source Project ; 4" IPS LCD WVGA capacitive touchscreen, ~233 ppi ; 1.0 GHz dual-core Cortex-A5...

No Google services (Play, Gmail, Maps, Calendar, Drive), you can't even sync contacts ; Fixed-focus camera ; No front camera ; Budget-grade hardware may result in system bottlenecks ; No smart dialing ; No document reader

There we go, the first Android smartphone by the company, which was never going to have anything to do with Android. Anyone surprised that the Nokia X has nothing to do with droids as we know them? Good. Thought so.
