Nokia X officially lands in the Philippines for Php5,990

Nokia Philippines officially launched the Nokia X yesterday, just a little over 2 weeks after it was first announced in MWC Barcelona last February 24.

It’s by far the fastest release from announcement we’ve ever seen.

Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.0GHz dual-core
512MB RAM

Nokia X launching in the Philippines on March 11

Looks like Nokia X is arriving in the Philippines way earlier than we expected. We just got an invite that Nokia Philippines is launching the Android-based Nokia X this March 11.

We first got a closer look at the Nokia X series of smartphones last month when we went to Barcelona for the Mobile World Congress 2014.

The new line is represented by low-cost handsets like the Nokia X, Nokia X+ and the Nokia XL — all of which were priced in the Php5,000 to Php7,000 range (before taxes and subsidies).

The March 11 launch will only be for the Nokia X model only as the X+ and the XL is still scheduled for 2nd quarter of 2014.
