An affordable android smartphone from Nokia
Irshu Lx (May 15, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
I love it. the screen is amazing for a midlevel smartphone. I replaced the existing tile based UI with "GO Launcher ", now the UI is smooth and fluid. I give it 9.5/10 because i dont have access to Play store.

Good phone marred by microsoft restrictions
Debojyoti Kundu (May 8, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
I got my nokia x few weeks back for my father at 7k and I am quite happy with my decision. The phone has a good build quality and the screen is also surprisingly good at this price. The loudspeaker is loud enough to watch videos and call quality is also loud and clear. The ui is unique for an android device but it is pretty straightforward and easy to use. The device runs smoothly with some occasional lags when multiple apps are open. Games like plants vs zombies runs perfectly and didn't slow down the device. However I have not tried any high end games on this phone. The phone comes preloaded with lots of games mostly junk. The only drawback is non availability of Google apps which is bad as we are all used to multiple Google services in our lives particularly Google now and the maps. However you can sideload apps apk and run them if they are supported. The Nokia app store has a decent number of popular apps which are enough for most users. The camera is ok as you shouldn't expect a good one at this price. Overall a nice phone in this budget if you are not too much into gaming and dont bother about tons of apps.

I purchased Nokia X last month with hopes that Nokia would surely provide a reliable phone. Needless to say, I am disappointed by the purchase.
There are several flaws, fastlane is just meaningless.
Also, the unlocking system is worthless, my calls gets disconnected while removing my phone from the pocket.
I cracked my screen last week :), but even Nokia service stations in 2 cities don't have a replacement.
The phone heats up a lot and call quality is not up to mark. The camera is too basic and low light captures are just blank.
Overall, Nokia should have invested to have better phone experiences.
People please stay away from this one as it is a sheer waste of money.

Better to buy Sony Xperia E1 except of Nokia X
Shaique Rizwan (May 1, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
I had used Nokia X for a whole month. It looks very good in hands from outside. But its performance is not too good as compared to Sony Xperia E1 at same prices. Nokia X is only good looking phone but not a good phone for its performance. And if we will root it for Google services then it gives more poor performance. And also it is not looking same as lumia UI. It looks shabby as compared to its lumia UI live tiles. And also lumia type live tiles is not live as it only gives the preview of saved images only.
And the most important thing is that Nokia X is running only 4.1 jellybean OS where as Sony Xperia E1 is running 4.3 jellybean and also can update to the latest Kitkat 4.4 android version.
At last i came to this conclusion that a user will not have to buy Nokia X as it gives very bad performance.

A good entry by Nokia into Android phone.
The design is cool and catchy with nice build quality.
Performance could be said to be above average but it surely has a nice camera.
Front cam missing.
The battery battery could have been better.
Overall a fine product at an entry level.

good but not that impressive
Rajashekar (May 14, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
i've been using this phone for a month now and here is my review
Design and Display:-
The X looks exactly similar to the Nokia Asha 5xx models. There is a single navigation (touch) button at the front bottom.Build quality is very good and it feel good to hold.The 4 inch IPS screen is with 800 x 480 pixels resolution. Touch is smooth. Nokia Glance Screen and double tap options are also available. Viewing angle is okay, not that good. There are accelerometer, light and proximity sensors.
coming to os,The X runs on the Nokia X platform version 10.0.3 which is based on Android 4.1.2.,the abscence of google play does make a difference and nokia store have only limited no.of apps you have to search web for apk files Nokia has made the interface look almost like as seen on the windows phone ? one screen scroll down, . You really don?t get the android feel when you look at the interface
There is on-board 512MB RAM of which 197MB is available. Of the 4GB storage 1.29GB is allocated for apps and 1.17GB as the phone storage. Apps can be installed on the external storage. OTG is not supported. OTA updates are supported
coming to performance of the device,The chipset is MSM8625 qualcomm snapdragon dual core processor clocked at 1GHz with Adreno 203 GPU. The handset does lag at times.it takes some considerable time to load apps but not that much to get frustrated and throw it
The handset cannot play 1080p videos ? it can play 720p videos. There are a lot of games that comes pre-installed but I tried the Asphalt 8 ? it got installed on the external storage. The game was playable in very low visual quality but at times it did lag.
camera:-
There is a single camera of 3MP resolution (fixed focus). The quality is okay. There is no flash support. You can record videos in 864 x 480 pixels resolution.
Others
Sound is very loud and clear. Google play store is missing, instead you will find the Nokia store. You will not find a lot of apps on the Nokia store as you would on Google play. However if you have the APK files the same can be installed on the Nokia X. 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS worked without any issues.
Battery
This handset comes with a 1500 mAh battery.You can expect 3 hours of backup time with heavy usage but when playing high end games like the Asphalt 8 the battery % will drop much faster
Verdict
nokia coming up with an android phone created much hype but the phone doesnt pack enough punch to blow your head,if you can shell out some more money moto g is a very good option but if you are in a tight budget and not much into hardcore gaming and tons of apps this phone is a best buy i suggest it for light gaming and day to day tasks

not so good when compared with newly launched motoe
Shekar Raja (May 17, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
i have been using this phone for a month now and here is my review
we all know that nokia has come up with an android phone i.e.,nokia x but the big question
is,is it worth the buy? is the half android&half windows phone up to the mark? the answer is it's not up to the mark and it's not worth the buy,i'll explain why?
well,firstly i bought this phone because its cheaper and comes from a trusted brand like nokia,all i expected from this phone is to do day to day tasks
without any lag but to my disappointment it takes its sweet time to load apps, and it does lag,with its 512mb ram and old snapdragon processsor it cant run high end games but manages to run light games like agry birds
temple run the fastlane feature is not that cool, and the ui feels more of windows less of android,camera is just 3mp with no flash,no google play and searching for apk files is a strain and no multi tasking(i didnt expected this)
lastly all i want to say is just go for the newly launched "MOTOE" this phone is not even suitable for casual users.

Firstly I will give 10/10 to Nokia to accept Android Os. But when we think it without google services, we may think it's not good enough like other android devices. But as per my taste Its a great move from boring classic icon based interfaces to a metro look android device. Its a great thing. Now some points for those who interested to buy this device but little bit confused. Ok, I'm expressing something why one may opt nokia x series phone.
1. First lane (the advanced notifier)
2. OneDrive (Free cloud space to store personal data)
3. Outlook (the better mailing experience with Microsoft)
4. Less battery consume as heavy google devices outed
5. Nokia Cloud Music
6. Good Hardwares
7. A new look
8. Nokia is highly trustable
9. Nokia Extended Warranty service up to 3 years
10. Nokia exclusive apps
11. Here Navigation System
12. Supports All android apps
So, One request to those, who are writing bad comments without using it, please don't do it. Just use it & then post your comments.

nice phone with average features
Vivek Bharadwaj (May 30, 2014)
on Gadgets 360
first of all it is an innovative step of launching an android phone by nokia in the android era.I give this phone four stars because of its nice design,camera having great potential of taking nice pictures,excellent design but not having 1gb ram at this price whereas moto e ,micromax unite provides 1 gb ram at lower price than this.
from this phone you can run most of the android apps and you can enjoy average games which uses less RAM .
I will recommend this phone for those who are not gamers but like to have a phone which has good design,build quality and good primary camera.

Ultimately wait was over and we are having windroid phone
Aditi , (Mar 1, 2014)

I was really fed up of using android phone,most of the phones and tablets are android.Customers like me became fed up of this android platform.Nokia X phone gives a refreshing feeling to the customers.If you are talking about its 3mp camera,let me tell you one thing,Its 3mp camera is equivalent to any other 8mp of any other android phone.No doubt,android phones make our life so easy.With the the use of android phone,we feel that whole world is in our pocket because we get information very easily, each and every information we have by using android phone because it has so many apps but simultaneously, it is a boring platform and so many apps create a lot of confusion.So, this phone gives a refreshing feeling,has a sturdy n cool looks with vibrant colors plus strong battery back up.It has dual sim.In most of the windows phone , we have a single sim that's I don't want to buy windows phone n they are also not user friendly.

what ever nokia comes out with has to be excellent in performance and reliability. i have been using nokia e52 / e71 / e72 and e7 which have been doing great till now without any issues. the lumia hardware is excellent. and now that nokia has come out with android that has to be the best in its segment. wait for the nokia xl - it should get back nokia to the number 1 spot in cellular handsets. i have not used this handset but after going through the specifications on the website i found it to be excellent.
and nokia has the best build quality and hardware always.

I got my nokia x 2 days before from a local stores. I dont say this a best phone but its a great deal for 8200/-.
.New and astonishing UI
.Big brand for affordable price
.Much better performance then compititors
.Almost big games like asphalt 8, bladeslinger, dead trigger, dead trigger 2, temple run etc. run with no or negligible lag
.Camera ok
.Fun interface for giving up boring UI and trying something new (for kids 3+)
For me no complaint deal. Enjoying the reliable brand

Amazing come back phone from NOKIA.
Nikhilesh Bhandari (Mar 1, 2014)

I Just bought this phone 3 days ago and its every thing I wanted, unique IU , funky looks and easy on the pocket , works good with minor lagging but that is fine as its a entry level phone. Run all the android application I have come across .
I was using a Samsung S4 earlier , it used to hang too , It made me hate Samsung.
Personally speaking I love this phone because its simply out of the league...Best of Windows + .Best of Asha +Best of Android. It don't feels like just another android it is strictly recommended that only those who have a flavor for new exotic things should buy it. It give you pleasure to hold it in the hand as the build is superb. You have to use it and then decide if its good or not, don't go by what people says, they always try to boycott the new and unique things.Like in case of Windows 8 and even Android if you may remember back in the day.
Had bought it after a two weeks of research on it since its launch in WMC. Though it dont have a flash and a front camera, you cant aspect to get every thing in this range. The UI is futuristic,It takes time to get used to it.

Once I used a samsung phone long time ago, after the worst experience i moved to nokia, Lumia 920 was my last nokia phone, and this time, when i put my hands on it, Nokia, is always awesome, the words i say. People who are competing samsung, sony, with this beastie brand, Go home. The Only Brand i can trust in mobile phones, Nokia....
You can never find this interface of android in any other phone. You buy a cheap android phone and a highly priced galaxy s4, the UI is all the same...... So, think before you chose. I did, and went for it, Trust me, Its amazing, not a single bit of regret to own This phone in this price.......

Some Important points
-->Best in class(Price will drop soon~7200)
-->Best display(LCD)
-->Decent Hardware specs.
-->Nokia trust(Service center available in remote locations as well)
-->Decent applications available.
--->Sturdy+Made for Indian market.
--->1500 mah battery + 4 inch display is nice combination.
Guys do compare this set with some available market options like LG|Samsung etc.You will find this set winning in all aspect. I would like to name it as "Budget Smartphone".Go Grab it.

For anyone with 10 minutes of spare time, this phone is worth buying just because it does in fact run Android version 4.1.2. Head over to xda for a step by step guide to installing gapps on this and you have a fully functioning phone with the google now launcher. I have tested this and can vouch for it personally. With regards to performance, yes it is a little choppy but not insufferable. Call quality is top notch of course and the microsd slot is definitely a bonus. Been using it this way for a week. Probably the best android phone you can buy under 8k.
