Nokia says 75% of all Android apps are compatible with Nokia X

25 February, 2014
The rest 25% will need only about 8 hours of porting work, according to Nokia's dev papers.

Arif, 25 Feb 2014No hate to anyone, but I don't think this phone will be a s... moreJust tell people it's Android with Nokia quality and no Google ad/bloat/spyware and tell them the price. Hey, Nokia sold 150 million 5230 smartphones with lower specs and higher price.

          No hate to anyone, but I don't think this phone will be a success.

          This is not the Android the general-public are accustomed to. For many people, they won't even know it's Android.

              Trooper, 25 Feb 2014What, even the crap ones ?.I agree, Nokia should really do a thorough screening/filtering of Apps.

              Remember that article posted here in GSMArena about how Google Play Store is dominated by some "questionable" apps.

                      Ugh~ My disappointment when I read "Jelly Bean 4.1". I understand that KitKat 4.4.X is relatively new, but Nokia should have gone at least with the bare Jelly Bean 4.3 AOSP.

                      I'm still a fan, but I'm starting to have second thoughts.

                      By the time Nokia XL is released next month in the Philippines, Nokia Lumia 525 will be available, and that one is more hardware capable (and uses the latest software despite it being WP8).

                          It should have been the other way around. Only 25% of apps allowed to work, refusing the remaining 75% of fart apps.

                              If it is so simple to port apps & games over, it makes you wonder why Nokia bothered with Windows Phone to begin with? If they would have done something like this way back in 2011, they'd have a much higher market share right now than just 3%.
