Nokia X is an android phone but it is also not truly an android phone at the same time. It is better to consider Nokia X a hybrid of android, windows and asha OS. Nokia X's OS sets it apart from any other android smartphones. The colourful tiles and fast lane is unique. Furthermore, it has a catchy design and attractive back covers. What do you guys think about this phone? Is the X OS better or do you prefer the usual vanilla android?

But the X OS doesn't comes with google apps such as gmail, but you can always sideload apks anytime. Do you think you will use microsoft apps like outlook instead?

Nokia X is indeed different from other smarphones. Would you use it if u have it?

Hope that I will get a Nokia X, I intend to give this Nokia X to my brother who is going to university. He is currently using Nokia 101, a feature phone. I know that Nokia X is a great entry level smartphone for everyday task. That's why I want to get it for my brother. Hope storekini can fulfill my wish too.

Does anyone know whether Nokia X in Malaysia support Here Maps and Nokia MixRadio too? It will be awesome if Nokia X supports these cool feature.

What colour would you guys choose for Nokia X? Would you guys choose the colourful, bright, and players colours like red, green or blue to stand out above the rest or would you rather choose a black back cover to match with the front of it which exude a serious and more business-like feel to the phone.

Nokia X is really an affordable smartphone packed with lots of feature. But it is not perfect in every aspect. I would like to list out the pros and cons of this device.
Pros
- cheap at RM399.
- great design inspired from lumia and asha series.
- exchangable back cover to suit every one's preferences.
- preloaded with awesome Nokia services such as Here Maps and Nokia MixRadio.
- battery life that last a full day with moderate use.
- fairly large 4 inch screen (same as iPhone 5/5s. A decent PPI of 233
- Double tap to wake and glance screen ( This is a very COOL feature that only high end lumia phones used to have, though asha series have them too)
- It is an 'android phone'. XD. Meaning there are tons of apps waiting for you to download.
- Fastlane ( a unique home screen which show your activities in the past, present and future)
- Has microSD card slot
- Nokia X operating system (depends on a person's preference, might be considered as con)

Cons
- only 512 MB of ram, means that the OS might be sluggish if running some heavy task.
- only 4gb of internal storage.
- no front facing camera, rear camera is only fixed focused 3.15MP. But at this price point, it is great to have a camera.
- For android fans, there are no play store or google apps, you have to sideload them somehow.
- No gorilla glass or scratch resistant glass for the screen. I mean like even the asha 503 has it, so why not?
- Nokia X operating system (depends on a person's preference, might be considered as pro)

There u go guys. Please give out your thoughts.

Wow! Asphalt 8 runs great on Nokia X. I will surely try it out if I have a Nokia X. Regarding the internal memory, I believe only about 2.3 GB is accessible. For someone like me who watch videos and listen to music, a microSD card is a must. Lol.

Anyone knows how to check the winner of Nokia/Storekini contest?

Here is Nokia X review from phonearena.

So excited about this! Who will be the first winner? ^^

Hey guys, for those loyal lowyat readers who are always up to date with the website's latest post (referring to myself XD), you guys should know that Asus is going to release the Asus Zenfone series to Malaysian market at the end of April 2014. The Asus Zenfone series comprises of Zenfone 4, Zenfone 5, Zenfone 6 which cost RM299, RM599 and RM899. The Asus Zenfone 4 JUST COST RM299. No kidding here. Just RM299, cheaper than the Nokia X by RM100. I will just roughly cover the specs of Zenfone 4 here. Specs: 4 inch WVGA screen with gorilla glass 3, dual micro-sim, 8 Gigs of internal storage which can be bolstered by micro sd card up to 64 Gigs of storage. It has 1 Gig of RAM and is powered by Intel Z2520 1.2 GHz Dual core. It is currently working on android 4.3 jelly bean with zen ui which will be updated to android 4.4 kit kat in the future. It sports a 5 MP camera without flash on the rear and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. So what do u say guys, will this new phone be a serious competitor to the android powered Nokia X in the budget market segment? Will you buy the Nokia X or the Asus Zenfone 4? (I will posting a comparison of Nokia X and Asus Zenfone 4 in a few days)

Can anyone tell me why should I choose the Nokia X over the Asus Zenfone 4?

In Malaysia, The Asus Zenfone 4 is dual sim too, and it has 8 GB of internal storage. Asus Zenfone 4 is priced at RM299 while Nokia X is priced at RM399. It is a tough choice to choose between this two.

The Asus zenfone 4 is totally a serious competitor to the Nokia X. It is undeniable that the specs of zenfone 4 is better than Nokia X. But most importantly zenfone 4 is cheaper than Nokia X by RM100. However as a Nokia device, the Nokia X has two premium apps which are Here Maps and Nokia MixRadio. Nokia X has an integrated GPS receiver and the Here Maps app offers free, life time voice guided-navigation and OFFLINE navigation which is something google maps doesn't provide. MixRadio is also an excellent service provided by nokia. You can even save music playlist for offline listening. Does these two premium apps have the ability to justify the RM100 difference between Nokia X and Asus Zenfone 4? What do you guys think? For those who own Nokia X, please share out your experience with Here Maps and MixRadio.

I hope that this is a misunderstanding. I am not really discussing other phone model in this thread. I am just comparing these two phones a bit. I am just trying to figure out what are the great features of Nokia X which surpasses the Asus Zenfone 4 particularly the Here Maps and MixRadio apps. Sorry

I have been dying to try out Nokia X - the first android smartphone made by Nokia. But sadly I don't have that much money. I am just a student who receive RM4 pocket money per day. T-T

I am using samsung galaxy y. My phone has dead pixel which is about 1/4 of the screen which makes it quite unusable, I can still call, but I can't see 1/4 of my screen which is on the top of the screen where most of the dead pixels are located. I really hope that I can get nokia X form store kini.

Yup, I will try and post more things about Nokia X. Thanks.

Here is a very holistic and complete review of Nokia X from the website Unleash The Phone http://unleashthephones.com/2014/03/14/nokia-x-review/
Here is the video review if you prefer it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r_n8Dri1p0
To sum up the review:
While the Nokia X does run Android, it’s UI looks and behaves completely differently, in strong contrast compared to your average Android experience. As such, most users buying the Nokia X “because it runs Android” might be a little put off by the UI. And it’s definitely not meant for powerusers. At the end of the day, the Nokia X is a well constructed smartphone that has an straightforward UI, a nice display and integration with Microsoft’s services, Nokia’s Maps and Music services, as well as a lot more apps than Windows Phones currently have.

By the way, anyone knows how to embed videos on forums?
