Nokia Android Phone’s Pricing ‘Revealed’

With less than two weeks for Mobile World Congress (MWC) to start in Barcelona, Nokia’s Android phone is once again in the news. This time, the pricing of the upcoming smartphone – rumoured to be named Nokia X – has been leaked online.

Vietnamese online retailer Techrum.vn has listed Nokia X on its website at a price of 2.2 mill to 2.5 mill VND (approximately $110). This is the first time that the pricing of the device has been revealed, while its specifications were leaked online over three months ago.

This pricing lines up with earlier rumours that Nokia X will be a budget offering and will be positioned between Asha 503 and Lumia 525 in the company’s portfolio.

Nokia’s Android smartphone is said to have a Windows Phone-like interface and will not have access to Google Play Store. Instead, Nokia is said to have added its own app store – featuring popular apps like Skype, Facebook etc – in the device.

According to earlier reports, Nokia X will have a 4-inch screen with 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor, 512MB RAM, 5MP camera, Bluetooth 4.0, Android 4.4 (KitKat) operating system and 4GB internal storage. It is said to be a dual-sim smartphone and come in six colour options.

The Finnish manufacturer has scheduled an event for February 24 – the first day of MWC 2014 – where it is expected to take the covers off not only Nokia X, but also Lumia 630, Lumia 635 and Lumia 930. It is also expected that a new Asha smart feature phone will be showcased at the event.
