Nokia X, Galaxy S5 and Xperia Z2: Big launches at MWC 2014

The Mobile World Congress 2014 saw the launch of three new phones - Nokia's X Series android phones, Samsung's Galaxy S5 and Sony's Xperia Z2. One after the other they hogged the limelight leaving the other brands panting to catch up with them. 



Nokia X Android phones 
Together, the three variants of Nokia's X series ended up becoming the show stealer at MWC 2014 as it stole the limelight away from Samsung's much awaited Galaxy S5. 

The Nokia X, X+ and XL have been priced for 89 euros, 99 euros and 109 euros respectively. Nokia has intentionally priced these phones towards the lower end of the spectrum keeping in mind that these phones shall target the developing markets such as that of India. Considering its price, Nokia's X series is expected to create a dent in the sales of other brands such as Samsung, HTC and Sony. 

However, what doesn't go in favour of Nokia's foray into the android market are the specifications of the phones. Nokia's X series phones are neither pure android nor pure Microsoft - though they run on an android platform, Nokia has ensured that the phones' look and feel remains loyal to Microsoft.

Samsung Galaxy S5 
The much-awaited smartphone and perhaps the South Korean tech giant's biggest launch in 2014 could not grab the eyeballs like its predecessor Samsung Galaxy S4 had in 2013. Though, the Galaxy S5 was one of the main attractions at the MWC 2014, it was launched without any price tag. Now, the internet is abuzz with its expected price. It is rumoured to be priced less than the Galaxy S4. 

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is set to hit the market on April 11, 2014. 

The successor to Samsung's best seller, the Galaxy S4, as expected, has come with a host of new features and better specifications. Heart-rate monitor and fingerprint sensor are its notable features.
