Nokia launches new phone for Android platform
At an event in Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia announced three smartphones powered by Android, a mobile operating system created by Google. The company has launched the phones — Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL — just weeks before it is scheduled to close sale of its phone business to Microsoft.
Google and Microsoft are competitors in the smartphone market. This has led to speculation that Nokia X phones may not survive for long. Nokia X phones are developed keeping emerging markets like India in mind. In most of these markets, Android dominates — in India, the market share is around 90% — and Nokia hopes to woo consumers with the Android tag attached to its phones.
