Flappy Bird
“He made a bird we couldn't stop tapping, then took it away to save us from ourselves.”
“Announced in June, gone by July — it lived fast, loved briefly.”
The Nokia X2 was an entry-level smartphone from Microsoft Mobile, announced and released on 24 June 2014 as the successor to the Nokia X. It had the distinction of being the first smartphone to run version 2.0 of the Android-based Nokia X platform operating system. For fans of Nokia's unlikely Android detour, it was the family's newest and most promising member.
The ending came swiftly: the entire Nokia X family of Android phones was discontinued on July 17, 2014, barely a month after the X2's debut. Whatever plans Microsoft Mobile had for its Android experiment ended there. It remains a brief, curious footnote — a phone that arrived and said goodbye in the same summer.
