Home screen

The phone was unveiled by Stephen Elop at the 2014 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Contrary to previous leaks, two variants, Nokia X[9] and Nokia X+[10] were released, with the Nokia X+ having 768 MB of RAM, as opposed to 512 MB of RAM, as well as with a microSD card included in the box.[11]

A third phone, the Nokia XL, was announced, with a larger screen, front-facing camera, rear flash, and longer battery runtime.[12]

Very soon after release, a developer had rooted the device, and enabled the installation of Google's apps and services.[13]

The Nokia X was heavily criticized for not having a home button, but the error is being fixed in the next Nokia X phones.[14] The newly introduced Nokia X2 had fixed this.
