Nokia Launches its Dual SIM Android Phone - Nokia X in Pakistan
Nokia has finally released its first Android phone, the ‘X’ in
Pakistan. The phone comes with six months worth free mobile internet,
thanks to the exclusive partnership with Telenor.
What Nokia has tried to do with the X is to make a phone for its
loyal user-base, with Microsoft’s services and Android apps. Through
“X”, Nokia has achieved not only in bringing Redmond’s services to the
masses, but also in finding a cure to its traditional issue, apps.
Featuring a single button at the front, the ‘X’ is, at its core, much
a normal Asha device. That forked, unrecognizable Android 4.1.2 and
tile-like user interface act as a prelude or a starting step towards
Windows Phone.

The popular Fastlane acts as a shortcut to every recent action you’ve completed through the phone. The bold colours should appeal more to the youth rather than the
elite, and so should the price. What you do get at this range is exactly
what you would expect.
A 4″ display upfront, sturdy design, 1Ghz dual-core Qualcomm
processor with 512 MB RAM, 3 megapixel main shooter and 4 GB expandable
memory. In an attempt to bring Microsoft’s services to the next
generation of smartphone users, Nokia is also bringing Skype,
Outlook.com and OneDrive, alongwith other services.
Most important fact regarding the phone is its openness. 75% of all
Android apps can be side-loaded and run on the phone straightaway while
the remaining ones can be ported in a matter of hours. And we’re not
just talking games here.
By striking a deal with Telenor, Nokia can further broaden its goals
and reach. It is not only in favour of both the parties to continue
together, but also for the users.
“We believe that our new offering will resonate with consumers around the country and set a great precedent for the level of quality that can be achieved in the fast-growing, affordable smartphone segment.” Arif Shafique, Country General Manager, Nokia Pakistan & Afghanistan.

Pricing and Availability:

As mentioned above, the deal comes with free internet for six months if you run this phone on Telenor’s network.
Competition:
The competition, meanwhile, hasn’t exactly been lethargic either.
While Nokia announced three starter-range phones in its X Family,
Motorola stunned everyone by the amazing Moto G, which probably features
the highest price-to-feature ratio of any phone in the world now.
A few Sony phones such as the new Xperia E1 can also give the X a
tough time. Samsung’s brandname and QMobile’s reach/price can make the
ride tougher for Nokia’s phone too.
Yet, the X is made by Nokia, a dying company which has a soft corner
in most of this country’s hearts. That alone may turn this phone into a
bestseller.
