Until now, Nokia is still not explicitly mention the version of Android that is used in these devices.
Finnish companies prefer to call the platform used by the name of the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) or Nokia X Software Platform.
So, what is the version of Android that is actually used? Initially, a lot of media mentions that Nokia uses the latest version of Android, the 4.4 KitKat. However, it turns out that less precise information.
Based on interviews with officials Nokia ReadWrite site, it is known that the equivalent turns AOSP Android 4.1.2 version, commonly known by the code name Jelly Bean.
Unfortunately, it does not explain the reasons why Nokia would prefer to use version 4.1.2 of Android, which is newer than Android.
AOSP itself is actually quite different and arguably "not intact" than Android are more outstanding. For example , the system on the Nokia X does not provide access to Google's online application store Play Store and other services made by Google.
In lieu of Google Play Store, Nokia provides the Nokia Store application store which became the main entrance to download and install Android apps.
If users want to download through the app store, what can they do? Nokia has prepared a number of popular applications in the Nokia Store. However , if there is an application that is not available in the store, there is a shortcut to get it. That is, the search for applications and download apps. APK from any source.
Does the file. APK can run well on the Nokia X? Still quoted from Read Write, Nokia really only make a few changes to the original AOSP version of Android . In other words, most of the Android application should be able to work well in Nokia X without the need for modification. (kc)
