there are some recognizable points in the image:

  • there's no sight of anything Google related, but Nokia's own Here Maps are present and correct.
  • There's a Store clearly shown, so providing everything is legit, Nokia it seems has decided how the X will be getting its apps.
  • this is indeed budget hardware as expected.
  • There is no rear camera flash,the display even from these images looks pretty low res,
  • Two SIM cards are clearly shown in the status bar
  • and it looks like you'll be able to increase the size of the homescreen tiles as you can with Windows Phone.
