| Nokia X2 Dual Sim |
Not even a month after Nokia has released the Nokia X2, an
affordable smartphone running on Android, Microsoft (Yes, Nokia is under Microsoft
now) has announced that they will be ending the company’s work on Android.
According to Stephen Elop’s, Microsoft’s Devices Executive
Vice President, memo, the Android-powered Nokia products are just not in line
with Microsoft’s strategic direction and that the company will be focusing more
on the market for the Windows Phone. Also they plan to deliver additional
lower-cost Lumia devices by shifting select future Nokia X designs and products
to Windows Phone devices. The existing Nokia X products, however, will continue
to be sold and supported.
This announcement was in line with the company’s big move to
layoff 18,000 of its jobs over the next year. Satya Nadella said in his email
that 12,500 of the jobs will be coming from Nokia including both professionals
and factory workers. Another product line to be shutdown following this layoffwould be the Xbox Entertainment Studios.
The Nokia X product line was introduced to the world last February
(before Nokia was acquired by Microsoft) showing off its interesting
combination of an Android-powered phone with the look and design of a Windows
Phone. This experiment however is short-lived.
For the fans of both Nokia and Android, X2 will be your last
chance to have a device with both the big names in it.
