Difference between android OS used by Sony, Samsung, HTC and the one in Nokia X?

[rohitKujur]

Nokia X phone is built on AOSP, but how is it different from Android OS on other smartphones???
UI is completely different in nokia x but that does not sums up the difference...

Google services is absent including Play Store and in-app purchase API.
The location services API is supposedly outdated / low functional in AOSP.

So Nokia will have a app market of its own. But you can install apps from .apk file. They would most probably work if they are not dependent on any of the Google services.

Its good to have nokia and Microsoft s services..... Rather than depending too much on android

Yeah like searching on bing is better than Google search or using Internet Explorer is better than Google Chrome

I must say i was pretty impressed by the build quality on the Nokia X. Its pretty heavy but it gave that NOKIA SMASH THE FLOORTILES feel to it. Wanna see its durability test, to see if we finally have a smartphone that can do justice to Nokia 3310's legendary reputation.

However, the UI, though pretty good designwise, was laggy.....really laggy
