Android on Nokia : For those who are tight on pocket and dont want to take a chance with local brands for Android based phones.
Cons:
No Google Services: While users can download most of the applications with the options provided by Nokia, still the wide range of applications that Google play hosts will be missed on Nokia X.
Low Specs: There is too much competition for under 10K budget smartphones, Nokia was expected to come up with decent specs instead it offers a 4 inch display and 3 MP camera that too without flash and no Front camera at all.
Nokia could have made its Android debut better by giving decent specifications to its phone and keeping it low at cost to first create a user base. Do tell us your thoughts about Nokia X by commenting in comments section below post.
