Nokia X Android smartphone to cost $110?

Nokia’s upcoming Android smartphone aka Normandy aka Nokia X has been spotted on a Vietnamese online retailer . It has been listed with model number A110 and is priced at $110, which translates to roughly Rs 6,800. The site however doesn’t mention any details about the availability.

We’d earlier seen the Nokia X on the Vietnamese retailer site but without any pricing details. The listed specs reveal 512MB of RAM, 4GB onboard storage and support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and A-GPS. Under the hood, it is expected to be powered by a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor and also comes fitted with a 5-megapixel rear camera.

The phone is believed to run a heavily skinned version of Android 4.4. KitKat , making it look more like Windows Phone , instead of your average Android phone. The leaked specs further strengthen the rumours that Nokia may push out its low-end Asha series running on Android OS, and camouflage it with a completely different UI. However, it is also believed that the Nokia X will ditch the Google Play Store and have support for the Nokia Store instead. On the other hand, company’s high-end Lumia device would still run on Windows Phone OS.

One of the leaked renders of the device shows the device dipped in six colour variants : black, cyan, green, red, white and yellow. It will remind you of the new Asha phones, Asha 500 , Asha 502 and Asha 503 . The device is likely to be launched this month before the Microsoft-Nokia deal is completed. It could also be announced at the Mobile World Congress, where Nokia has an event scheduled with a possible March launch. Here’s what we know about the Nokia Android smartphone , so far.
