Nokia X5 (5.1 Plus) Reportedly to Launch on July 17 in China; Here’s All You Need To Know
We were immensely disappointed to learn that HMD Global had indefinitely postponed its July 11 launch event which was expected to be a launchpad for the Nokia X5. It is still not entirely clear what the reason for this cancellation was as the only explanation Nokia gave was that it was due to some problems with the venue. Nokia took to Weibo, a popular Chinese microblogging site, to apologise to its fans regarding this inconvenience.
Furthermore, a new report has popped up claiming that the launch event could likely take place on July 17. Nokia officials have not yet confirmed these dates as it would entirely depend upon the weather conditions in Beijing at that time.
Nokia’s Personal Apology to Fans
A few hours before the July 11 launch event was about to start, Nokia released a post on Weibo letting fans know that the event had been canceled. To express its deepest apology, Nokia promised to send out a “sweetest heart” to the first 100 people who responded to this post before midnight. The company also mentioned that these responders would receive watermelons along with the heart. True to its word, Nokia personally responded to every single one of those first 100 people who replied to the post to let them know about a surprise Nokia left for them in their personal inboxes.
You may be wondering what exactly this so-called “sweetest heart” is. To be honest, we don’t have any idea either. The crude translations of these comments we have via Google Translate indicate Nokia sent private messages to its fans with these “sweetest hearts” and watermelons. Are these just some images of watermelons or did Nokia actually send free coupons to its fans to buy melons this summer? We are not sure. Let us know in the comments if you have any details regarding this.
