Strange! they released with no inbuilt play store to get android applications and other android stuff from store, only way we have is to get a .apk file by some means to enjoy them but, however, there are many ways to download android apk files directly from Google Play store but no doubt it won’t work every time and time taking process. Developers are too fast this time and they found a way to root Nokia X mobiles to get root access and to install Google play store service on Nokia X.
