Nokia has finally entered into the Android era and they have recently released 3 Android Smartphones. I believe that is something, almost everyone is appreciating and this might take Nokia again to its position where it was!! Today, I have got a good news for those who have got Nokia X, the XDA member, Kashamalaga, has got root access using the Framaroot, which ultimately lets you install apps from Google Play Store. It is strange that Nokia X, being an Android Smartphone, does not have Google Play Store, but instead, it has Nokia Store which lets you install Apps. Use this method to get Rooted and then you’ll be able to install Google Play Store on Nokia X. The root method is really easy and simple, you can call it, One-Click Root method.
