The First Microsoft Lumia Phone

Last April, Finland-based mobile phone brand Nokia has officially announced its transfer of ownership to Microsoft Corporation. Thus, the former will now be known as Microsoft Mobile. Just six months later, we are beginning to say goodbye to the once popular brand that introduced us to the world of mobile phones and started the digital revolution globally, as Nokia's line of smartphones powered by Windows Phone OS will now be named as the Microsoft Lumia line.

When I learned last April that Nokia is going to jump into the globally popular Android craze with its first Android smartphones, I am surprised that a struggling mobile phone brand is going to release something new but unexpected after years in the industry. Still, I was a little bit excited about this, seeing what would they be like if they are available in the market. However, I found out that Nokia's Android phones available in the market are not quite what I have expected. Is the Nokia X family of smartphones fit to be known as Android phones that rule the market today? Well, I'll just point out some factors about them.
