After the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft its the first
Android based smartphone in the Nokia X series which is Nokia X2 although this
series already has 3 other smartphones namely a Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL.
The X2 will cost €99 ($135, £80) and come with a 1.2GHz
dual-core Snapdragon processor, a 5MP camera, 4.3-inch display, dual-sim, and
15GB of inbuilt storage space. Like all the other phones by Nokia in Lumia
Series or Nokia X series it too will be available in a range of fluorescent
colours.

As expected, X2 will come preloaded with Microsoft-made apps like
Skype, Outlook.com, OneNote, OneDrive with 15GB storage and also apps like Bing
Search, Yammer, Xbox games, HERE Maps and MixRadio. Apart from these you also
have access to Android apps which you can side-load or download from
third-party app stores.
Wondering what Nokia has been up to since handing off its
mobile-making division to Microsoft? It’s also been dabbling with Android
— releasing an alternative launcher for Google’s Android software platform
called Z Launcher just last week.
Below is a Microsoft demo video of the X2:
Nokia says that X2 is available “immediately in select countries
globally”, although it’s not clear which countries exactly. But seeing the
launches and availability of previous phones in this series its expected to be
launched soon.
