Nokia X, supposedly the first smartphone from Nokia to arrive on shelves with Google’s Android operating system loaded on top, appears to have emerged online in a series of newly leaked images, which show its user interface in all of its glory.

The phone was spotted on Chinese website Coolxap, confirming the outer design that has been spotted a few times before, as well as the brand new UI that Nokia will load on top of Android.

The Android OS that Nokia X will feature won’t have Google services included, but it will sport Nokia’s own set of products, and the HERE Maps are visible on the home screen.

A Store app will also be present on the phone, supposedly linking to Nokia’s own portal, though it remains to be seen what kind of software will be available through it.

As Android Central notes, the smartphone should go official next week at MWC 2014, so stay tuned for more on the matter.
