Nokia announces new Android based Phones...WHY?

Recently Nokia announces new Android based phones. 3 models X,XL,X+ were unveiled by C.E.O of Nokia in Barcelona.

All of them are using AOSP Android Open Source project. So they are running on Android Operating Systems and can run Android app
s, but without Google services which means no apps can be downloaded form Google App Store but users can download apps from Nokia App store or third party like Yandex store or Slideme. Because they are not like common Android devices and are not fulfilling Google conditions. Their operating systems are much like Windows. So they did not get access to Google services.

As Nokia's Windows phones did not go successful so they are going with android. These phones have android based systems but have more look of windows. They come with preloaded features of Microsoft. One month free Skype calling, Outlook.com email, and access to 10gb Google drive. They made a clever move because after launching these devices people will get familiar with Windows phone, So window will get famous.

These phones are cheaper as compare to their specifications. Nokia XL is available for $150 having 5mp  and 2mp secondary camera, 1gb Ram and 4gb internal memory with dual core CPU. Samsung,Sony etc. phones of these specifications are expensive. So these phones are going are expected to make entry in developing countries.
