From the day reports confirmed that Nokia X, the company’s first Android powered device, will become a reality there were other concerns attached to the cons of the smartphone. One of the major concerns was that the phone would not have the Google Play Store from which all Android users download their favourite applications or whatever they want to try but, fortunately Nokia has done something about that bit.

First of all, it’s not like Nokia X won’t have any Android applications as, just like Jolla, the phone will have the Yandex App Store. This store has over 85000 Android applications and has all the best ones listed so you won’t have to worry about BBM, Vine, Facebook, Twitter, most of your favourite games and a lot of others not being available for you after purchasing the smartphone.

Apart from that, Nokia is claiming that 75% of all Android applications will be compatible with the phone and the ones which aren’t only need a retouch before they can also be used with the phone. This is probably due to the user interface of the phone and all the system tweaks which make it worlds a part from other Android phones due to it being based heavily on gestures.

Here’s a little bit about the gestures and actions which work with the phone:

Anyway, users can submit applications to check their compatibility as well. So, it’s probably just a matter of time till users get to enjoy all Android applications on the Nokia X. To read more about all the gestures, click here. Do let us know your thoughts and keep visiting!
