While critics doubt if the new brand would be continued once Microsoft completes integrating Nokia, the X appears to be Nokia's ploy to ease Android-junkies into a Windows Phone environment.
Targeted at fast growing low-cost smartphone markets like India, Nokia launched the much anticipated Android-based smartphones starting at Rs 7,600.
Below par display, processor and storage are definite turn offs for Nokia fans.
Nokia's much-awaited Android-based 'Nokia X' will be available in India from March 15, as the Finnish firm takes head-on the likes of Samsung and Micromax to grab a share of the burgeoning affordable smartphone market.
While Nokia X is armed with good looks and brings freshness to the low end Android segment, the Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 has better features.
This year saw a lot of innovations in mobile phones, and next year will be even more interesting.
