That is, the model and its variants Nokia X will be the last Nokia phones based on Android. While Nokia X2 recently announced his fate is unclear, whether the remains will be sold or not.
Model Nokia X then will be part of the Lumia and will run the Windows Phone operating system. While the Nokia X Android-based models that have been circulated and used by consumers today, promised would remain fully supported.
"We plan to make a low price Lumia device by sliding design Nokia X be the future Windows Phone devices. We hope to do this as quickly as possible while still sells and supports Nokia X products that already exist," said Stephen Elop, head of Microsoft's mobile division.

Nokia X itself announced at the event Mobile World Congress (MWC) held in Barcelona last February 2014. Nascent, Microsoft is sure not going to continue.
