Nokia X Gets A Price Cut; Now Costs Rs 7, 729

The price cut comes just ahead of the launch of the Nokia X+ and XL.

 

Nokia X, the Finnish company's first open source Android powered device, has received a price cut just a month after its launch, and is now available for Rs 7,729 on the company's official web-store. The dual-SIM phone was launched at a price of Rs 8,499 which was nearly Rs 900 more than its current price.

 

The reduction in price of the Nokia X comes just ahead of the launch of its sister devices – Nokia X+ and Nokia XL. The company will most probably price the X+ at the former pricing of the X, with the XL will come at a slight premium to the other two devices.

 

All three devices sit well below the entry level Nokia Lumia 520 in terms of pricing. They fit Nokia and Microsoft's strategy to serve as a stepping stone for smartphone users to get into the Windows environment.

 

The Nokia X sports a 4-inch WVGA LCD display (800x480p), is powered by 1GHz Snapdragon processor and has 512MB of RAM. The phone also comes with a 3MP camera and a microSD card slot through which storage is expandable to a maximum of 32GB.

 

The phone runs on a Android JellyBean, albeit a highly customised version of the popular operating system. Users do not have access to Google's PlayStore for downloading apps, but instead have to use Nokia's very own app store. Like larger Nokia Lumia devices, the X pushes users into the Microsoft app environment, in the hope that they will upgrade to Windows Phone devices in the future.
